Meet Cruz~private home
Right before I came down with the worst cold I’ve had in so long I was able to meet an adorable little guy who stole my heart. I can’t stop smiling when I go through his pics. I just loved how he would look at me and grin. He knew it was picture time and he loved it. The girls are going to chase after this one!
When I was there I must say he had the coolest toy ever. A giant toddler roller coaster. If you want to be Grandma of the year, go and get one of these! They are awesome! Oh and he also had the coolest John dear boots ever. So cute!
Here are my favorites from our session.
Thank you so much Summer! I feel so honored to meet and photograph your family. You are raising such a sweetheart! Your home was so lovely and filled with so much joy and love. Now every time we go to Salty’s I’ll think of you guys!!
Meet the Cagney~Shorrocks~in studio
What a better time to have family pictures done then when they fly across the Atlantic to come for a visit.
I had the pleasure of meeting two people who did fly over from Ireland. I have to admit I’ve wanted to visit Ireland ever since I saw Far and Away when I was a teenager. I may have had a Tom Cruise crush♥♥♥……. Anyway, we had a great time inside and out of the studio. The weather is finally turning. I’m soooo ready for spring! These two little cuties came all dolled up for Grandpa and Auntie. I can tell they love them so much.
I hope you enjoy my favorites from the session.

Thank you so much Helene! You have a wonderful family! I can’t wait to meet the missing member for your family pics! You have a wonderful spirit! I really enjoyed getting to know you and the girls!!! Next time I know baby girl will be dancing!
Meet Josiah and Cami~Bear Creek Country Club
Seeing and feeling another person’s happiness can be contagious. You walk away feeling butterflies yourself! And the couple below is very special to me. Cami is one of my oldest friends. She was a bridesmaid in my own wedding so many years ago. So I have countless memories to share about her and I. We go as far back as Junior High. You know, the awkward goofy time in life.
My first memory of us is a camping trip. We of course got in trouble one night singing “American Pie” with some older neighboring campers. I just smile thinking about it….. We are also connected by the loss of some amazing loved ones in our lives. So we have a very strong friendship that will always be there. No matter how much time passes or life changes our friendship picks up right where it left off. Whatever she needs I’ll be there!
I hope you guys enjoy my favorite images! Our location is the Bear Creek Country Club. This also brings back many memories for me since I worked here as a banquet server back in the college days. I had a lot of fun at that job!
I am so excited about your wedding. I am so honored to photograph your special day! You two are such a great match! I wish you the happiness you both deserve forever! LOVE you! XOXO
10 months and counting…..
It’s time to get a little personal. I’ve been photographing this little one since birth and this month is no exception. She sparkles like glitter in my life. Her laughter lights up the room. And her silky smooth skin feels so soft. I could go on and on about her. I ♥ being an Auntie!
We had some quality time at the park last week and I just wanted to share it with you guys!
These two have a thing for each other. One giggles and the other gets jumpy and energized.
I saved the best for last. I didn’t realize a baby could laugh the same way we do. The laugh that makes you tear up and almost pee your pants. LOL.
Meet the Lehmans~In studio
Winter is here in full effect. You may think this is not the best time for pictures, but Au Contraire Mon Frere. I’ve actually had one of my busiest months shooting in clients homes, my studio, and a quick jaunt outside in the cold. And I’ve also been designing a book for my biggest client. So its been a well-rounded month. Somehow I have to catch up on blogging. So here I go.
The first session is a mini family session. We shot here in the studio and literally 15 minutes outside by my home.
This just melts my heart. Did I mention this is my family? The next shot we were able to use my Great Grandfather’s high chair. That’s a five generation connection. Awwww….
What can I say?! Auntie/Sister loves you three!!
Goodbye 2011! You treated me well with sugar and spice. Hello 2012!
Fashion Shoot~private home in Duvall
A recent photo shoot allowed me to dabble in a new genre~ the world of fashion and portfolio building. I loved exploring this side of photography. It was challenging and exciting to have a little crew of workers all collaborating ideas. I learned so much at this shoot. I love expanding my horizons.
This selection of photos were just part one of a series to come. What a beauty! I want to give a big thank you to all that helped. The home that we were able to use was so beautiful. I think I walked around saying I love this to every wall I saw.
Thank you so much for this experience, Vannessa! It’s been wonderful reconnecting on such a creative venture!
