chloe's bday :)

my little friend chloe turned four recently! we ventured outdoors even though it's still been pretty darn chilly here lately... we did find a few spots free from the wind. she's got the cutest personality. happy birthday chloe!

joe & ashley

joe & ashley are getting married this june! i thought they were absolutely adorable... so easy and fun to work with. they found this fantastic farm where we captured these great colors and textures. somehow they scheduled on a sunny, beautiful day in the middle of some pretty cold, rainy weather too. i'm really looking forward to photographing their wedding this summer. SUCH a cute couple!

shawn & mandy's big day

valentine's day will have an extra special meaning for this couple each year! they were married recently and i had the opportunity to take portraits on their big day! you may recognize them from their engagement portraits. CUTE couple and so in love! they have such a beautiful family... it was my privilege to work with them and all of their friends & family. thank you shawn & mandy for trusting me with such important memories!

the dean family

day after christmas i met the dean family up at the depot for some family portraits.... it was chilly, but they were up for it - even sitting down in the soggy, wet snow! watching the grown siblings interact and enjoy each other always reminds me of my own four brothers & sister! it was great to see all of these families gather for the holidays.

the kahuhu family

well this is my last entry for 2010! they had such a great idea to gather around their christmas tree for the family christmas photo this year... and with a brand new baby, that was a warm, smart idea too! however, the rest of the group ventured outside for some very cute photos at eagle island...

the packer family

more brave souls out in the freezing cold! it was windy and cold but we got some very cute shots... their littlest guy wasn't in love with the idea of having portraits taken, but we caught him with some pretty darn cute faces! and a pretty cute family!

little daniel

this sweet baby boy belongs to a friend of mine! he was born right after thanksgiving. he's number seven and very loved... what a gorgeous mom he has, too!
