Here are just a few images from a shoot I got to shoot with some cute Lake Stevens kiddos today. As soon as I saw these two sweet girls, I knew I wanted to take a few shots that really captured what its like to have a sister. I have many friends who have sisters…and its a special, often loving relationship that is like nothing else. My favorite is seeing a mother of the bride that has a sister, or sisters that come around her and are her helping hand at a wedding. Its like they can read each other’s minds. I find it fascinating and wonderful.

These images where taken at our new Studio in Lake Stevens, Washington. We are so excited about all this property has to offer and this is just a tiny little taste of it! :)

On this lovely friday, I leave you with one of the cutest kids in the world singing his preschool song.

I’m one of those people that didn’t grow up around kids. I never really babysat much, I was the youngest in my family, and I didn’t have any cousins that were younger…..But there is something about well behaved kids that is so refreshing. I love to see their little personalities shine through. These kid are sweet, kind and well behaved…my favorite kind!:) I love that one of them is quiet and analytical, one is opinionated and knows what she wants, and one is a peace maker.  Its fun to watch, even in my own kids, that the personalities they have as babies and toddlers, seem to be their  same personality as they grow up. It just amazes me.

I grew up with a camera in my hand. I can remember a field trip to the Woodland Park Zoo in 3rd grade….Some of the snapshots from that day had my finger over the lens, most were blurry…but they evoke the memories of that day. I can remember that it was cold, but fun….and we laughed in the back of the bus all the way there and home.

When I turned 16, I received a Minolta SLR camera…and I never looked back. I loved the blur in the back ground, and the space it created in images. I was hooked. Then that morphed into Yearbook Staff, then lots of images from across the country, then when I had my dear Estelle, I knew I wanted to make a living by taking pictures…now she is 6 and I just can’t believe it. She was my favorite…and most convenient model during those first years of business. Thank you Estelle for being such a great model!

Yesterday I bribed her with a bunch of balloons and some hot chocolate, and we went out to shoot….again…one my favorite children to photograph…..
