Dana and Mike's E-Session

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Dana and Mike's E-session- and we had a blast. It is a little challenging finding really green grass in Vegas- so we headed to a Golf course and found some GREAT locations. We had amazing lighting too- which I always love. Then we headed to the strip to do some nighttime shots and I think they turned out great. Dana and Mike were so easy to work with too- they were up for trying all my crazy ideas. They are getting married in July and I know they will have a lifetime of fun ahead of them. Here are just a few of my favs from the day....

A day out with John and Kate

Last week while visiting my friend Kate in New Mexico we did a little session with her son John. John just started walking and it is so fun to see how fast he moves in such a short period of time. John is just a ball of energy and is always smiling- he is just such a happy kid. In New Mexico where Kate's parent live- they are so close to the mountains so of course anywhere was a great backdrop for some super fun pictures. John loves to swing and slide now too- so of course we got some great action shots. I had a great time running after that cutie.

Changes are a coming!!!

To all my faithful readers- I havent been blogging much on my photography stuff over the past few months- but that doesnt mean I havent been working. I decided to take the next 6 months and really concentrate on reinvenating my wedding business. This doesnt mean at all that I will not be doing family pictures anymore- but I really needed to take some time and key in on my skills for the upcoming wedding season. So I will (fingers crossed) hopefully be able to produce better work in each category of my photography. Over the next few months I will be unveiling a new blog and new products, as well as an updated website.
Morgan and I just recently purchased a ton of new equipment- which I am in love with!!!
Ahhh I love playing with new toys!
Just keep checking back here and hopefully there will be things exciting things coming soon.

The Seattle Lohse Clan

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to do a little photo shoot with Sara and Brandon (our brother and sister in law) and their beautiful clan. I had a blast doing some fun girly things with our neice Mckenna. Who picked out what she wanted to wear for the photo shoot- she is a little stlyist already. Kaden and Karsten didnt care what they wore- but we had a blast with them as well. The day we did the photo shoot it was snowing outside so we did all the pictures inside of Brandon and Sara's amazing house. Brandon and Sara are outstanding parents and their kids are so fun. They are just such a great example of a family that is surrounded in love. I love having Brandon and Sara as family- they are so awesome.
Anyways here are just a few of my favs from the day....

Gabby and Emmy- take on Watercolor

I spent Christmas this year with both of our families in Watercolor. It was so much fun- and it was great (as always) to get to spend some quality time with my two nieces- Emmy and Gabby.
Since Both of the girls Grandparents were there Anne wanted to do a little session with all of them on the beach- and I think the pictures turned out great.
After we did a session with the grandparents we did a few of the girls- and oh my they are just so cute.
Anne put both of the girls in these Ballerina Tutu’s which Aunt Sara sent to them- and they looked just adorable on the beach in these skirts. Then we found this great “princess” chair in Seaside and it was just perfect. I love doing photo shoots with my nieces they are just so easy to shoot- and Anne is always up for trying anything.
Anyways here are just a few of my favs from our session….

Newborn Session with Kennedy

When I was home in Pensacola a few weeks ago I got the chance to take some pictures of my good friends Jill and Justin’s new little girl Kennedy. Kennedy is just precious- she has such a personality already too. Kennedy has such light hair- which is so cute on her- I am thinking that she is going to be a blond just like her mom.
Jill really wanted to get some pictures of Kennedy with Santa- so Kennedy’s Grandpa dressed up as Santa and we did a little session with him too. It was so fun.
Jill and Justin are such great parents already- it is just amazing to watch them transform into parents.
Kennedy is such a joy in their lives- and it makes me happy to see them so happy.
