"I Just Can't Stay Away!" - Harlingen, Texas Newborn Photographer

2011-11-16T07:40:00.000-08:00

So, I just got down to Texas to spend a few months with my family while my husband is deployed. I didn't bring any of my props or equipment with me aside from my cameras because I was 'supposed to be' taking this time off, but as you can tell I just can't seem to stay away! Besides, how could I pass up an opportunity to take pictures of this baby girl, especially when her mom and I have been friends since high school?
I need to say that this is the 2nd time I've been thrown completely out of my comfort zone! Being that I had absolutely nothing with me I was forced to look around her home and be creative. That being said, I consider this shoot an absolute success! I'm so thrilled with the mother/daughter shots I got! Thank you Mindy for letting me do this for you VERY last minute! It's so amazing to see you as a mommy - It feels like just a few weeks ago I was taking your engagement pictures! Boy does time fly! :)

I just LOVE the colors in these photos! I think Mia did a WONDERFUL job with coordinating all of their outfits. This was such a fun and laid-back photo shoot and I am super thrilled I got to do it before I leave island. These girls did so well for me and absolutely loved posing for the camera. The hardest part was narrowing it down to just a few pictures for my blog! Mia, I hope you love these as much as I do! Thank you and your girls for such a fun afternoon!

And lastly, I had to post this picture of Mia! Isn't she beautiful?!

Both Val and I are now mothers of two with very crazy schedules. Thankfully, we were finally able to schedule a time that worked for the both of us. Sadly, I don't think our session lasted more than an hour, but baby Mia did so wonderfully I was still able to capture a few shots. Looking back, that baby girl's got some sas! ;)

Yay for the weather holding out for us today after having to reschedule about 4 times and yay for me getting back into doing what I love after having my baby. I am so beyond excited with how these came out! I got so many that it was hard to narrow down to just a few to put up here. Heidi, I hope you love them... and yes, we finally got 'the shot'!!! :D

Here is another sneak peek of Baby Brooklynn taken today just for fun! Always great practice! :D Now I can't tell if I liked yesterdays or todays more! You decide! :)

2011-06-26T20:13:00.000-07:00

Baby Brooklynn is finally here and she is so beautiful! I was so excited to meet her especially after doing her mommy's maternity pictures a few weeks ago. I have seriously been so lucky to get such good babies to work with! Just feed this baby girl and she goes straight into a milk coma! I am beyond thrilled with how these pictures came out and I am so glad that mom let me play with her hands and pose her as I needed. You really have to be patient for a shoot like this so thank you mom and dad for letting me do my thing. :) I feel like I am finally getting better at acheiving what I have set out to do. AH! So excited about these!

Here she is:

"Welcome Home!" - Oak Harbor, Washington Family Photographer

2011-06-16T13:21:00.000-07:00

Thank you, thank you Sarah for allowing me to experience a 'welcome home'! What an emotional day! No one understands what a military wife goes through except for us. It's something that helps relate us to each other and through that we are able to lean on each other and be there for one another. Whether our husbands deploy for 3 months, 6, or a year, nothing makes it any easier especially with kids. I will soon be walking into a 6 month deployment and don't even know where to begin with preparing my kids and myself. I've been blessed that my husband has only be gone max 3 months. These ladies will have to do at least two 6 month deployments in 3 years! It really does take someone very strong to take on this role. As we wait patiently for our husbands we play the roles as both mothers and fathers to our kids while still maintaining our home. Oh how I regret not journaling all my 'adventures' while my husbands been deployed. Seems like everything just falls apart! Your dog gets sick, your kid gets sick, you get sick, something in the house breaks, you put too much oil in the mower and it wont start, you kill the weed eater, the car tire has a slow leak, his car battery dies, the pilot light in your water heater shut off, you forgot to pay your bill! The list is endless, but boy has it made us all stronger women! I don't doubt our husbands jobs are hard, but the spouses definitely have the harder role. My hat goes off to all these women, especially Sarah - a mother of 4, Mary Kay Consultant, leader of Officer Christian Fellowship, and part of several other organizations. She is a phenomenal woman! Knowing I would soon be experiencing this for myself in a few months made this day much harder. One lady Sarah introduced me to has an infant whom her husband had never met! I got to see him look at his son for the very first time in person and hold him! Of course I stole a shot and had to post it - what a moment! A special welcome to all the spouses who came home yesterday! Glad everyone made it back safe and sound!

How lucky did I get with this little guy!!! He was the first to just lay there and take whatever position I wanted to put him in! He has got to be the smallest baby I've had the pleasure of working with too! Just a little-bitty thing! I love when clients are open to letting me just play and have a good time! As a result we got some fantastic shots! We were done in 2 hrs - that's what a good baby he was!

2011-05-29T00:12:00.000-07:00

I am so excited to have been able to do another maternity shoot!! After about three attempts to do this shoot, we were finally given some good weather and we are all almost over our sicknesses. Thank you so much Nicole for being so flexible with me over these last few weeks of craziness!

Fort Casey in Coupeville is such a beautiful place with large open areas and pretty flowers. I couldn't think of a more perfect place for this shoot after speaking with Nicole about her idea of thee perfect location. I am super pleased with how these turned out and can only hope the family loves them as well! Nicole was so creative in what she envisioned for her pictures that I may even steal some of her ideas for myself. ;) Congratulations to this beautiful family on baby girl number 2! Here's a sneak peek of our session today:

"Out of My Comfort Zone" - Oak Harbor, Washington Newborn Photographer

2011-05-23T17:11:00.000-07:00

OK, I'm not going to lie... I was REALLY nervous about this shoot even though Theresa is a friend of mine. Because I am a bit under-the-weather I wasn't going to let her come to my place with a newborn so I went to hers. Going to a clients home is always out of a photographers comfort zone, but I embraced the challenge! I took a few headbands and my heating pad just in case and I left with the faith that the creative juices would flow. I think I got lucky with this one because the family already had ideas of what they wanted. Since both grandmas are in town you can imagine how much more nervous I was to take their pictures! I have never had the opportunity to shoot grandmas before! Overall, it turned out to be a fun, layed-back shoot. Getting out of my comfort zone is totally something I need to do more often. :)
And of course Baby Avery is such a doll!! She has the cutest little face and looks just like her beautiful mom! I can't wait for our photo session together! Family pictures is all we could do today since I didn't want to get too close to the baby, but come and take a peek often because I'm hoping to grab a few glamorous shots of this beauty later this week! Here are a few pictures of our session today:

Ah! Dont grandma pictures just warm your heart? When I look at these I think of my mom holding my baby girl in just a few short weeks! ;) I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take these!

Such a beautiful family!

"Baby and Me" - Oak Harbor, Washington Maternity Photographer

2011-05-06T21:12:00.000-07:00

Despite a few issues during my pregnancy with my first son Tyler, I have always said that I love being pregnant. It has to be the most amazing experience! Nothing thrills my heart more than reading all the milestones my baby has reached in my belly week by week. Nothing can ever come close to the first time you feel the baby move around inside you - God just amazes me! The way He created our body to house something so precious; It's incredible! I wondered how this pregnancy would be having already had one baby. I wondered if I would bond as quickly and if I would be able to still focus on this special time with a 2 year old running around. Honestly, it hasn't been hard at all. I find myself daydreaming of how she will look and how she will be. I'm already finding myself mentally preparing for the life-long lessons we will have to teach her. I worry just as much as I worried with my first, but I constantly reassure myself that God has brought us this far with Tyler and I know He will see us through the rest. I am just so thankful that He has entrusted both a boy and girl to raise in this world. What an honor! As the time draws QUICKLY nearer to Alana Reese's arrival, I am starting to feel the importance of documenting this precious little time I have with her. My body may hurt a little and I may feel fat and gross most days, but this picture for me represents the sheer beauty of it all. I hope she will love this special little picture of her and her mama later in life.

And for the record, I'm pretty stinkin' proud that I still fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans at 6 1/2 months! We will see what happens the next months though. :/ Oh, and yes, I took this picture myself. :)

"Even More Excited!" - Oak Harbor, Washington Newborn Photographer

2011-05-06T21:00:00.000-07:00

So by now everyone knows we are expecting our very own bundle of joy in August and let me just tell you how much my excitement has increased today!! Baby Charlie is the sweetest little man - he makes me so excited to get to hold my very own baby in a few months! He was SO good for me too! He slept pretty much the entire time and I am so thrilled with how many cute shots we got! Thank you mom and dad for being so flexible and letting me play. :D Congratulations to you both!

"Welcome Baby Boy Matthews!" - Oak Harbor, WA Newborn Photographer

2011-02-24T18:58:00.000-08:00

I wasn't sure what to expect with this little guy. Usually babies past 12 days don't like to be messed with much, but this little guy was a champ! He hardly made a fuss and slept through half the session! I am so excited about how these came out and I'm glad dad was up to trying my 'vision' because WOW! The picture of him and his son took my breath away when I saw it on my computer screen for the first time. Thank you Matthew's family for letting me play! It was truly an amazing experience!

Ugh! I cannot express just how much I LOVE my job! 2 1/2 hours with this precious joy and you can see why! He did so good for us! Just give the boy a heating pad and he knocks right out! It was nice to get to know this little family today. Little John Patrick sure has some amazing parents which I hope to run into again very soon. Thank you Moore family for allowing me to step into this major part in your lives. Congratulations on a sweet baby boy! :)

"More handsome boys!" - Oak Harbor, Washington Childrens Photographer

2011-02-19T20:13:00.000-08:00

Even though the sun was out in our part of Washington, the wind was a bit crazy. After treading through muddy grass and fighting the cold wind we had to change our location. Thank God Amber had another spot in mind where the wind would catch us as bad. Here is a sneak peek of her two handsome boys!

Trying new things...

2011-01-20T13:03:00.000-08:00

My husband and I are usually very personal with the pictures that we share on Facebook and other places. I was a little hesitant to use a few of the pictures I used for this slideshow, but I told myself only Derek would see. Well, I lied! I just love it too much! I made this with the intention of just learning how to with iMovie on my MAC. My hope was to be able to create something like this for clients birth stories, weddings, etc. Well, in the process of learning, this little story of our lives was created. The song Marry Me by Train was really the inspiration for why I chose to do pictures of my husband and I. The song - I can hear repeatedly and will still cry! It's amazing how songs have a different meaning when you are in love...

Normally slideshows start from the beginning of one's life and bring you to the present, but I did the opposite. I wanted to slowly take my husband back to our very first picture together and remind him of the 5 beautiful years we have shared and where we have come from. With the Navy stealing him away for months at a time, a 2 yr old, and a new baby on the way, sometimes you lose touch and find yourself just living. It's refreshing for me to travel back to those memories of our first times together. It warms my heart and gets the butterflies going in anticipation of seeing him again when he comes home (THIS MONTH!!!! :) For those of you who know my husband, you know he's carefree and full of personality. Well, I used all the personality pictures of Derek I could find and there's A LOT! As a photographer I'm always wanting him to 'be serious' and 'smile FOR REAL'. This slideshow threw all that out the window which makes this one even more special. It's real! It's us - FOR REAL! I'm not in WA right now so I don't have access to all my pictures, but somehow I managed to get some from all the places we have lived so far, even Guam!

I'm happy to report that after a long day of working on iMovie, I have figured it all out and this was my final product:

Handsome and respectful - these two are going to be lady killers, I just know it! They are two of the sweetest, most well-behaved boys I have been able to work with. I had so much fun and I'd like to think the boys did too. After all, they got to throw rocks, see a sea lion, and a helicopter! Here's your sneak peek Griffin family:

Yesterday was so much fun! I just LOVE doing maternity shoots, especially when I have such gorgeous couples to work with! We were a bit rushed to get some outdoor shots and not to mention it was freezing cold, but Bridget and Chris were troopers! :) Afterwards we went back to there place for a few indoor pictures (and some hot cocoa! YUM!) As most of you know, I am a natural light photographer, but there house is so beautiful I thought I'd give it a try. Here is a sneak peek at yesterdays shoot! Chris and Bridget, thank you for letting me take part in this special time in your life! I can't wait to meet your beautiful baby girl!

I just LOVE this one:

I have had the pleasure of knowing the Walthers family going on two years now! Our kids have been able to grow up together and it's been totally awesome to watch. Charlotte is just a month older than Tyler but it seems like she is 4; everything she is into, it usually takes Tyler 4 months to get into! I'm pretty lucky that I get to ask Kerri how she deals with all the new situations that come with being a toddler since, more than likely, she's already gone through it! hehe (sorry Kerri) Here is our shoot in celebration of our pretty little Charlotte turning 2!

The Floyd Family - Oak Habor, Washington Family Photographer

2010-10-22T15:22:00.000-07:00

The biggest compliment I could ever recieve is being referred to. You may remember the beautiful Levy family I just shot a few weeks back... Well, April didn't realize that by telling her friend about me - she would be intrested in a shoot as well! This is what it's all about! It thrills my heart to know that my clients truly love my work. I haven't been doing this very long and yes, I know you can tell I am still learning, but I'm getting there! Just when it seems like all I am doing is taking steps back, God pushes me a giant leap forward! We all need the confidence boosters once in a while. ;) Thank you April for referring the Floyd family to me! What a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL family!!

Proceed with caution; you may be jealous after seeing this gorgeous little family!

"My, how the year has flown by..." - Oak Harbor Washington Children Photographer

2010-10-14T13:35:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a year, almost to the day, since we moved to Washington! We could not be happier with the area, the friends we have encountered, and all the other blessings that have come our way. Dugualla Bay Farms was one of the very first places we ventured to in our first few weeks here (you may remember the pictures). I thought it would be a great idea to mark the end of one year and beginning of another with more festive holiday pictures! Enjoy!

Just to recap, who remembers this little guy? Can you believe it's already been a year?!

Look at him now:

Here are a few shots of Dugualla Bay. If you haven't had a chance to make it out, there are still plenty of pumpkins to be picked! Don't forget about the Corn Maze!! I hear it's awesome! (We'll be doing that next ;)

Yay for my first family of four photo shoot!!! What a beautiful Saturday! You can never tell what the weather will be like in Washington, but again I got lucky! This family was so much fun! Audrey especially loved the camera and the camera loved her. I can't say the same for her brother Jackson - he enjoyed the rocks and leaves more than anything, or as Audrey would say, "He loves nature". :) Thank you Levy family for letting me capture your beautiful family!

Here's my little teaser! Enjoy!

It's almost time for Shawna and Jonathan to welcome their baby boy into the world and I just can't wait! He's going to be a handsome little guy - just look at his parents! I am so thrilled that I got to spend my morning with such a FUN couple who even brought me coffee and donuts! ...For the record, I love my job! I hope to do this again in a few weeks, but with one added little person and this time coffee and donuts on me!

Jon, this one's for you... :D

This session was different for me since we added some furry friends, but it worked out so well! I love the shots I was able to get!

"It's My Birthday & I'll Cry If I Want To!!" - Oak Harbor, Washington Childrens Photographer

2010-05-27T11:50:00.000-07:00

As a new photographer I am always up to trying new things! When Shannon approached me about doing a cake smashing shoot for her son Kolten‘s 1st birthday, I immediately thought of my friend Nicki who had done a beautiful cake smashing shoot. I ‘tried’ to recreate that - I just love her work so much! It was definitely an experience and BOY was I nervous! I had SO much fun though, I have to say! I don't think I have ever laughed out loud while editing any of my other shoots, but I just could not help it! Talk about capturing the moment! Poor baby Kolten! We all got to smash cake in his face since he didn't seem to want anything to do with it! I had so much fun on this shoot! However I will admit I made a huge mistake! I knew better than to do a shoot with full sun, but with the way Washington's days have been going, the sun has been up high longer and longer! Right now, 9pm looks like 7pm! Shannon & Michael, I hope you still love your pictures and we all wish you the best wherever the Navy takes you next! Happy Birthday Kolten - Tyler misses his buddy!

He has the most perfect little features, like that little-bitty nose and little-bitty chin - adorable! What a perfect, beautiful baby boy! Congratulations Amanda & Jake!

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival - Oak Harbor, Washington Photographer

2010-04-09T23:03:00.000-07:00

Breathtaking, just breathtaking! The longer I live in Washington the more I just love it! It has a small town feel that I have come to really enjoy. Where else can you pick your own pumpkin at a pumpkin patch in the Autumn, cut down your own Christmas tree at a tree farm in the Winter, or even see the vast fields of colorful tulips in the Spring? No where but Washington State! I'm looking forward to the next season to see what they will come up with next! Seriously, it was an awesome sight to see! My pictures could never do this place justice.

Of course the little man and I had to have a picture together. :)

I had the honor of flying out to Dallas, Texas for an engagement shoot this last weekend. Can you believe it snowed? Yup, that's right! First day of Spring and it snowed in Texas! Julio and Christina were such good sports and we worked through the cold. Thank goodness the snow happened the night after the pictures! :) This shoot was so much fun and I got so many great shots! Since I do not yet have a web site I will be posting more pictures on here. This is only part one! Christina and Julio, I hope you like your pictures so far and I can't wait for your wedding day in June! Congratulations to a gorgeous couple!

2010-01-16T21:50:00.000-08:00

I will admit that I still get nervous with every shoot! I was especially nervous for these since they were outdoors. It didn’t help that the shoot was last minute either - we finally had some gorgeous sun that we just couldn't pass up! Despite everything, I love, love, LOVE how some of them came out! I got several cute shots that made it hard to narrow down so I just added a little extra. :) Erika, I hope that these will make you smile and will brighten your husbands valentine's day while he is deployed so far away.

A Face I Just Couldn't Resist - Oak Harbor, Washington Child Photographer

2010-01-13T12:30:00.000-08:00

I recently had some girl friends over for lunch and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some shots of the kids - just for fun. Since Sophie is still only months old, I was only able to grab a few shots of her while standing still. What a CUTIE!! She has this beautiful little face that I couldn't resist! I'm looking forward to a shoot with mom and baby soon. ;)

He endured my cold hands for two hours and was such a trooper! There were too many shots I loved so I just had to post them! Thank you Megan for letting me be a part of this time in your lives. I look forward to our next shoot in two months!

New Beginnings - Oak Harbor, Washington Engagement Photographer

2009-10-05T09:25:00.000-07:00

A very good friend of mine recently got engaged. With my move to Washington State, I knew I wouldn't be able to attend the wedding so, as a gift to her and her fiance, I thought I'd take their engagement shots for them. I was nervous about the area we were taking them, but I was pleasantly surprised at how they came out. Congratulations Andy and Mindy! I hope you enjoy your pictures!

In my last post I mentioned that my son is turning 1 and his birthday invitation was in the works. Well, here it is! I can't begin to tell you how many issues I had trying to make his invitation, but thankfully I have an extremely talented friend... The original template I had looked somewhat like this, but I couldn't put the pictures into it so my friend Nicki made an entirely NEW template for me and I love this one so much more!! I can't thank her enough for taking the time and doing this for me! Visit her site at nickismithphotography.com.

Congratualtions to my parents who have just celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary! They came up to Florida for a few days, so I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of them. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks Mike & Amber for letting me practice on you guys in this sticky Florida weather! It was such a fun shoot and I can't wait to meet your two little potatoes in September!
