commercial shoot

I had SO much fun photographing this beautiful mom and her darling son (no, they're not models. shocking, I know.)! They are showing off their pearly whites for advertising in a dental office, and what better way to do it than on BIG canvases all over your office? Good idea Dr. Snyder! I'll come see YOU for a cleaning ANYDAY! 

talk about sweet

check out max's girlfriend taylee! we were so glad we got to meet up with our friends danny and annie over christmas, and of course we had to snap a few of their darling two year old in my make-shift studio.  how sweet is she?

who is that girl?

oh wait. that's ME! me in a picture with my family.

 

this is pretty much monumental. so photo friends, if you want to check out the rest of my family pics from my PHOTO SWAP with AMY you can do so and tell me your favorite  HERE.

Plus, it was my first time editing raw images (I normally shoot jpg, but Amy shoots raw) and

I have to say I really loved the outcome. It was so much easier to edit in bridge with raw files!  I just may be shooting in raw from now on.

have yourself a merry little christmas

i know max will. i can't wait! didn't it sneak up so fast this year? i'm not nearly ready!

his name is drew and he's mr. gq.

remember my friend drew? my little mini-session man turned model? i love him. i want to photograph him a million times over. during his family session, he was nonstop energy and had the most boisterous personality! i loved him soooo much that i begged his parents to let me dress him in some crew cuts clothes i had in the car that just happened to be HIS SIZE! i am so glad she said yes. we got him looking all dapper and he pulled out the attitude to match. meet mr. gq!

now really. could he be any cuter? and let me just add that this all went down in a matter of about 15 minutes. I could have posted more of him for days. Lucky me! 

oh yea.

i know the veil thing is getting a little old, but i really like this one. 

her pre-kiss-smile is priceless. all i can say is that b & j are the steamiest couple ever. 

and their interaction is so genuine. they just DID this stuff, it's true love at it's finest 

and I was so honored to be a part of it all. 

love you guys, thanks for letting me plaster you all over my blog.  

downtown: brady and josie

ok. this post in intense. it will take a while, it's VERY long. very passionate. lots of kissing. I am just going to let these pictures and these lovers speak for themselves. enjoy. 

the end.

Thankful

for my healthy, sweet, beautiful boy
my best friend, my husband
my crazy family
and that I was able to spend the holiday eating at ONE table with 40 of them
during our little getaway to Sandpoint
which is far more beautiful in the winter than I remembered.

I feel so blessed.
