So my dear friend, Jackie, owner of (now) Diva-911, formerly Sweet Peas Boutique, had a fun Fashionista Event the other night….A little Wine, lots of Bling, Lots of hot fashion and tons of fun and conversation with the ladies. Everyone got 20% in the whole store that night!!! It was such a blast!  Here are a few shots from the evening. We really did have so much fun.  If you would like to know about the next event for Diva-911 or Eylander Studios, email me and we’ll put you on the mailing list!:)

I love passionate people. I’m passionate about alot of things and I’m drawn to people that get excited about…well, whatever it is that excites them. For Tara & Robert….its beer. They love beer. They love The  Boundary Bay Brewery. On Saturday, we literally got an all access pass to the brewery and all the lovely nooks and crannies of that wonderful old building. If  felt like I could have spent all day checking the place out and thinking up more shots! Luckily Tara and Robert had a few up their sleeve too!  We had a great time! I know I’ll be headed up there again…with my cute hubby this time!

So last friday night I had a Grand Opening party for my new studio in Lake Stevens! It was such a blast! I got to meet a TON of the Lake Town peeps and just have a great time with everyone! We had a cake with my face on it (thanks to Jackie, of Diva-911 for that…photos to come!) and amazing gift bags! Wow!! Thanks to everyone that helped make those little treats so amazing.  We also set up the studio with a classic Photobooth! It was delightful! You can see that we were loving it!:)

Tonia, owner of Sun Solarium offered up a SWEET gift basket! It was amazing! Thanks so much!!! Go visit her if you need a healthy glow!:)

Molly….of Molly Vaden Photography….my dear friend and fellow photographer in crime helped capture the night’s mayhem. Stay tuned for a photo update!

Last friday I had the chance to photograph one of the cutest families on the planet!:) Truly fun and entertaining.  Here’s a sneak peek!

I first started photographing this darling family a few years ago when I was pregant with my 2nd child. My husband and I had a 3 year old daughter, but I wasn’t far enough along to find out if  I was having a boy or girl yet.  Watching these 3 boys wrestle, laugh, make faces, and just be boys…I got very excited about the prospects of having a boy of my own!  Up untill this session, I was, honestly, a little scared about the whole idea of having a boy….but these cute bros helped me to get prepared!  This was my 3rd session with them…and they just keep getting cuter and cuter! It helps me know what  to look foward to with my own 2 year old boy!

***I also got my baby fix during this session! :)

So I’ve been updating my promotional material for Senior Portraits, and one of my new favorite things: Rock the Frock! We headed to the studio with some gals from Snohomish High School to have some fun!:) What sweet girls! As the session went on, I laughed with Jackie (co-owner of Sweet Pea’s Boutique) about how we were just like them 1oish years ago: young, cute, fun and the world at my fingertips. I just celebrated my 31st birthday (yay!) and I did notice a few more wrinkles…..but I have to say that I still feel like I’m 18!  After thinking about it for a while, I realized, that I am still the 18 year old on the inside….I think I will always be.  As my body grows a little older every year, I’m still me.  That will never change and I like it that way. I’m just a little wiser! Read More…
