{Beautiful Bride}

I'm so excited about some of these shots, I just had to post a few.  I'll have more from this wedding in the days to come, but I was too eager to wait until I had them finished!  Mrs. K is such a beautiful bride, and the entire family was a pleasure to work with.  Congrats and thank you for choosing us to share your day!

Had to have some fun with this one...

LOVE the night shot!

Check back later for the rest!

Magic!

So I'm shooting a wedding tomorrow, and I always like to get inspired and mess around with some post-processing techniques before the big day.  This one is magic!  Anyone afraid to have a close-up photo taken because of not-so-flawless skin (including myself!) can just relax...with just a few steps, anyone can have a perfect, glowing portrait.  Here are some before and after shots. And let me just say, these girls are gorgeous to begin with, so I didn't have a ton of flaws in the first place.  :)

In this instance, the lighting was a bit harsh and created some shadows.  Neat picture, but skin is too dark and looks harsh.

After:

This one is just a really tight shot...this girl has nearly flawless skin anyway, but a few subltle changes just make her glow:

So, ta da!  Magic! Post-processing is something I do for all of my clients at no additional cost, and I spend extra time on wedding and senior portraits.  Call today to book your session!  360.751.7289

5 Months

I honestly can't believe how fast time is going...it seems like I just finished her 4 month pictures (my baby girl, for those of you just tuning in...)  I get more and more excited each month as she grows and I'm able to expiriment and get creative!  She can't quite sit up on her own yet, but almost.  Maybe for her 6 month portraits...I have something special planned! 

Snowflake Sessions

Winter is almost here!  The cold weather certainly is, and it has inspired me to run another seasonal promotion.  $129 Snowflake Sessions, complete with a "theme" that you choose and your images with a print release.  Click here for more details.  In the meantime, I have posted a couple of pics from the snow storm last year that got me excited to see some flakes...hopefully soon!

{Puppy Love} - Family Pet Photography

I am so excited about these pictures!  My sister-in-law really wanted some professional shots of her baby (6 1/2), Demi.  I just got a new camera and was more than eager to use it, and it was a PERFECT evening with the most beautiful sunset.  We even messed around with some off camera flash.  All together, this was a GREAT shoot with an absolutely gorgeous dog (and owner!) ;)
