Isn't she lovely? I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this session!...
A beautiful senior girl and so many cool things to try and places to go! Loved her ideas and her attitude about the whole thing. She was a trooper on this absolutely freezing day!
Also, this very talented girl is the singer in her band... check them out at youtube.com, Paper to Pen by Hands on Fire. She's got an amazing voice!

Welcome to the online gallery for a sweet baby boy... only 11 days old when I photographed him. He stayed awake for all of the festivities and was so content to just look around and feel the love of his family. His two brothers are crazy about him and it shows!
Thank you for having me out to photograph your precious new addition. May God bless him in every way as he grows.

I was honored to be asked by a friend to photograph her beautiful boy after his brain surgery to document the wonderful scar that saved his life. Many prayed for him for him while he was in the hospital and he is 100%! Praise God!

His mom is inspiring at how she loves on her children each day and was so strong through it all. Her baby is so happy and must feel so loved. Someday soon the hair will grow over the scar... and someday he will grow up into a man... Be blessed by the images of this little guy. He is a beautiful little angel.

Met this beautiful family in the park for a great time in the leaves! The kids were amazing and so good! They genuinely love each other and like each other... it was obvious to me and hopefully the images express it. Beautiful!
God bless you!

A recent family I meet at Aspen Hall... the trees and leaves were so beautiful and a gorgeous family to photograph. I couldn't ask for more. Afterward we did a graduation session for the oldest boy. I'll post that next.
Happy Viewing!

Check out this joyful little one! She has so much spirit, I love it! I only had a quick 10 minutes with her and this is what we got-- how fun! Thanks "Otto!"(my 4 year old son's pet name for her)...

Finally posting a fairly recent shoot. Do to our circumstances lately, I am so behind! Arden is a beautiful mom and so very patient while waiting to see these. I am so thankful!
We had a great time out at Smith Rock with her son. He was a trooper with all my "oh, aren't you just so cute, let me just take one more..."
I think we got some amazing images-- thank you both! Happy viewing!

This is dedicated to my dear friend Stacey... she was fun, she talked in silly accents -- she had a specific english one for when we would call each other-- and she was a phenomenal story teller. She was caring and genuine. She loved hard... She loved to laugh and to make others smile. She put others needs first. She loved her family, her friends and she loved me.

I am happy for her that she is in Heaven, holding on to my savior's hand. I love you so Stacey.

The following images are from March 07 with her wonderful and beautiful daughter, Makenzie... enjoy the obvious display of love and affection between them, the best of friends. She will be missed by all who loved her, but we are so thankful for the time we had.

I had the opportunity to photograph a fun family ~ the younger kiddos were cooperative and the older were obliging... so, we managed to get some "real deal smiles"... I love that! Maybe it was all the kissing... kids kissing mom, mom kissing kids... You can imagine the giggles and eye rolling going on. But then we even had kids kissing the dog -- not even my idea, but theirs! Anyway, we all had a good time and got it done. Thank you Sue and kiddos!!

Michael and Meredith-- congrats!!!
Erik and I had the privilege of photographing this very special couple. I LOVED every minute of capturing the love between them! During the ceremony he kept looking at her in the sweetest most tender way -- it was blissful to capture! After the ceremony we all headed over to the Tower Theater for the reception. All the dancing made for some really fun photographs (the bride's uncle even pulled me out on the dance floor- Erik caught it -- maybe I'll post that later!) :)

Congrats Michael and Meredith! We were honored to be a part of your big day. You are so fun and obviously so in love. May God bless your marriage in his safety, comfort and joy for the rest of your lives!

Let's celebrate this little one! What a joy she is. From what I have seen from the 3 occasions I have had to photograph this little one is that she never cries, has a happy disposition, is full of joy and it is truly catching (her Mom and Dad may disagree that she never cries, but I have yet to see it)! I had the pleasure of photographing her baptism at St. Francis. She had to amaze the priest, because she only smiled during the water baptism and then fell asleep in her mother's arms after her big debut. What a JOY... see for yourself.

I had a great time at Megan's house for a portrait party... the kids were all in great moods and we got some fabulous images. I only had to bribe a handful of them with my arsenal of candy! I think they all had a good time playing with me. I know I did! Take a peek at a few of my favorites...

What a ride! We had an amazing time photographing Courtney and Christian's wedding in Seattle. Talk about fun... the happy couple obviously enjoy each other, life and laughter. I loved it and loved capturing it all for them with my amazing husband at my side. It was pretty easy to get such cool shots when you have such willing participants and a bride who wants to go down the slide with her Dad! Anyway, hope you enjoy the view of a few of my favorites...
Courtney and Christian, may God richly bless your marriage with continued love, laughter, and health as you grow old together! :)

Meet two sisters and their little ones... aren't they adorable? I couldn't narrow down my choices, so I had to make a collage. The kids were amazing! They did everything I asked and more... played with their mommies, snuggled together in the grass, and the little girl even did a impromptu rodeo hat maneuver that would have even made a rodeo queen jealous. I couldn't have asked for better models that day. What a blessing the little ones are to photograph... happy viewing!

Welcome Baby Ian!! Gorgeous and unbelievably behaved, even at 3 weeks! Smiled... slept as if on cue... what else could I ask for? Okay... a cute caterpillar suit made by a friend of mine (Maci). Here is her website so you can order a cute suit too... http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.jeansnbean.etsy.com Anyway, Baby Ian was a pleasure to photograph. The rest of his family is quite charming as well... as you can see, big sister Ellie has eyes to amaze. Yes, they are sooo blue!
May God bless you Ian with strength, character, safety and lots of love (a shoe in). :)

A beautiful setting, a fun family, little girls with amazing blue eyes, wonderful light... who could ask for more? Well, we couldn't. Erik and I set out with a friend to do some video (clip coming soon) and a super happy, relaxed family to do some non-traditional portraits. The little girls are soooo cute! I love the end where the youngest gives her mommy her flower collection. Sweet! And, I love how the sunspots are dappled on the images, you can see how amazing it was outside.
Mike and Debby and girls- thank you for coming with us and grinning through the mosquitoes- you are troopers! Next time, I'll bring a six pack of bug spray! :)

Congratulations Ed and Malia!
The happy couple is beautiful and so in love...Their smiles lit up the room and were as bright as the beautiful sunset that graced us all in the evening. They were surrounded by fun friends and family-- did we say fun? We had a blast with our cameras catching it all... flagging down a cool car to pose by, rockin' the house with the dancing to the bridesmaids jumping in the pool! What fun! We know we should narrow down our choices to show off- but how? Look at sweet Grandma and Grandpa looking on during the ceremony (just celebrated their anniversary as well of a long life together), the way the bride and groom are looking at eachother, can you stand it? Makes me want to sing love songs as I run with my camera to capture it!
Ed and Malia, may God give you his peace, joy and blessing on your new life together.
All the best, Natalie and Erik.
