Nicholson Sisters

I missed posting the shots we took last year, so I’m including The Nicholson sisters’ current and past pictures together. Both sessions were so fun, I couldn’t just skip one!

These ladies are as beautiful to know as they are to see, and they just get better with time.

This year I was so happy to get a photo of the family together, a tricky thing to do with their busy schedules!

I’m looking forward to our next session!

A Big Move

As a parent, I find great joy in seeing my children succeed in their passions and talents. The McCoyville family knows that joy- their very talented son was accepted into Boston Ballet School. This meant they would be packing up their home in Oregon to make a new home on the other side of the country.

Before they left the West Coast, they visited family in California- where I got to take their photos.

Mays Kids with Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma

The Mays kids were excited to see their grandma and great-grandma, who were visiting California from the mid-west.

Grandma was pleased to meet her newest grand baby for the first time.

I have enjoyed watching these wonderful people grow through the years.

Beautiful people to photograph, beautiful people to know 🙂

Woolner Family

Most of the Woolner family recently moved to my local area from Southern California.

Their son stayed south, as he is pursuing his college education…

…and a beautiful girl. (They are now engaged- Congrats!)

Alix misses her brother, but is adjusting to life in this area.

They are a fun family, and I am so grateful to call them friends!

Senior Portraits: Lucas

I’ve known Lucas since he was a middle schooler, maybe longer. Taking his senior portraits was exciting… and a reminder of how quickly time flies.

20111112 150836 IMG 9904

We took a few ‘traditional’ portraits…

…but had SO much fun taking personality shots!

Lucas is an awesome guy. He’s fun, smart, polite, talented… I’m lucky to know him, and look forward to seeing what he does with his future.

Tobey

As a photographer, it’s very important to capture personality. Some clients are spunky, silly or sassy. Others may be quiet, reserved or serious. Hopefully you get a glimpse into a person’s interests, or a little idea of what they may be like when you see their portraits.

While Tobey hasn’t had many photos taken of her, it’s easy to see she is a natural beauty…

She couldn’t bring the horses to the shoot, but this fifteen-year-old wrangler knows what she loves.

Hopefully you get a feel for her sweet spirit and playful nature. It’s a joy to be around!
