Kailey turns FOUR…

This morning I had the pleasure of taking Kailey’s four year pictures…I have been taking her pictures since she was a year old…and I love it every year and look forward to seeing her as she grows and changes. Kailey is a beautiful little girl, I can’t believe how much she has grown up in the past year…wow, what a little lady she is!



We even got Kailey’s mom to join her for a few shots…you can see where Kailey gets her looks from!!

Kailey was getting some practice in for Halloween…this is last year’s costume, but if you happen to see a beautiful “Sleeping Beauty” on your porch this Halloween, it just might be her!!

I love her sweet little hands and fingers…and her nail polish was a great match for her dress!

This sweet little girl’s smile is infectious and I couldn’t help but smile and enjoy the time spent with her today! Until next year, Kailey!!

Okay, now I REALLY have to get packed to leave Sunday for the next wedding…it’s really tough to think about shorts, swimsuits and tank tops when it’s wet and cold around here…but I think I can push myself to do it!! ALOHA

New tutu…and sweet Erica!

Last month I bought a new tutu for my little girls and couldn’t wait any longer for a “model” to try it out for me. My neighbor, Shannon, has a very sweet little girl, Erica, who was a great little model and did a great job in “showing it off” for me! Here are just a couple of the shots…but of course, there were more taken!

Happy Birthday, Jayden!


Today is a special day in our lives…our granddaughter, Jayden, turns four years old! It’s hard to believe that it’s only been four years since she entered our lives and changed our lives…she is beautiful, charming, caring, sweet, loving, determined, curious, playful, considerate and oh, so much more! We are fortunate to have her live close and I get two “mimi” days a week with her, which I cherish and am grateful for. For the first 20 months of her life, she lived in Virginia with her mom and dad…and then they all came back to the Puget Sound…and it’s been wonderful to watch her grow and change each day! So, today, I share some photos…one for each year – it’s amazing how much they change from year to year! Happy Birthday, Jayden, we love you!!

September 26, 2005…welcome to the world, Jayden!

A year old…and eager to learn and talk all she can! Oh…this picture was published in Australia as a poster for a speech pathology center…what a perfect shot for that!

She’s two…her first birthday here with us…oh, she was so sweet that day (and still is!)

Three years old…she’s growing up so fast…loves the park and all the toys there, not to mention the ducks on the pond!

Four years old…you are becoming such a beautiful young lady…here’s to many more years…and of course, many more photos!! As you can imagine, this is my reason for my passion for photographing children…and I “practice” with her all time time!
