Special Connection

Yesterday morning I had a mini session scheduled with a four-month old baby, Piper. This was to be with Piper and her grandfather who came down from Canada and wanted some photos with her. It was short and sweet…very sweet, as a matter of fact. The connection between Piper and her grandfather was obvious…he adored her and although there weren’t many photos…the ones I got were touching…it almost brought me to tears. Here are a couple from the session…which also includes Piper’s beautiful mother (it’s obvious where Piper gets her looks from!).




Always fun with the Hedmans!

Another great session…with a great family. The Hedmans are awesome…and I am never let down by them…they are so much fun…on the go, so I’ve got to be quick, but that’s half the challenge! With the “Puyallup” clan and the “Chicago” clan, they have seven…adorable children…who range from 18 months to 10 years of age. Thanks to their dads, it’s pretty easy to get some good smiles…or maybe giggles from them, especially the girls…who are as sweet as angels! And, this morning, we were very fortunate to have some dry weather and sunshine, which was not the case just a few hours later…so glad we planned it when we did! Here are some previews until I get the gallery up – THANK YOU Hedman family for your confidence in me!






Weekend in Tennessee…

Last weekend my husband and I headed to Tennessee for a visit with great friends, Allen and Brenda. Actually, it was a surprise for Brenda…for her birthday and it couldn’t have been better…oh, the joys of a weekend away with good friends! Although we would have loved more time…it was wonderful to spend time and catch up with our friends. While there we also visited a few wineries, spent a night at their cabin and had a chance to see their kids…and two adorable grandchildren. So, as you might expect, I took a few (okay, more than a few!!) photos, so thought I’d share some from our visit!

After our “surprise” we had lunch at Miss Mary Bobo’s which was an old boarding house…we enjoyed a WONDERFUL Southern dinner…a great experience!


The grounds at one of the wineries we visited during our visit…I could have photographed there all day long!

Busy and handsome little Alex is two…and was so much fun to watch…it’s obvious why his “Nana and Papa” love him so much!

Darling little Carly, who is 4 months old, is as sweet as can be…although not yet out playing with her big brother…she will catch up and I look forward to photographing them again when they are a bit older!




It’s obvious that Alex REALLY loves his papa…it was fun to watch them together!



Alex, with his aunt Allie, who he also adores…and this evening he decided to “style” her hair…it was quite cute!

Good friends, beautiful countryside, some wine, and a relaxing weekend…a nice break and great way to end the month of August!
