The other day I took my friend Celeste (and her daughter) out in my fave city, Tacoma.  (Don't tell Vancouver I said that ;) )

I met Celeste when I photographed her kids with Santa.  We ended up talking and I found out she is on her way with photography.  Of course I'm excited, I invite her to click chicks, she comes, and the rest is history!

I work fast :)

Yesterday was sooooo fun!

Ali, Jaclynn, and I went out for a photoshoot.
Dual purpose: photograph Ali's new color and show Jac some camera stuff (she just got a new slr for christmas!!!).

I was trying out a wide angle lens I borrowed from a friend (thank you Angie!!).  I have been wanting wide angle for the last year and now I am hooked!

Ode to miss Shannon Sewell on the combos-she is a constant inspiration on image collections!





    

  



Super fly!!

I am up in Vancouver for a couple of photoshoots this weekend.

Ok, so i get to hang with Ali (sister) too, 
soooo, not as much work as I started this post with. :)

Play, work, play, yay!

On top of all that, Ali colored my super new hair a super new color(s). Images to follow...

This morning I had the pleasure of photographing Marty Lou.

I knew that this shoot was going to be magic.  It was sight unseen (the location) and I only met them once (at Ali's brithday brunch) but there was no question in my mind. Absolute perfection. As in 70% cocoa, know what I mean?

They are Marty+Mary Lou=Marty Lou.  You'd think it was almost too cute but you don't even think that. It just fits, perfect. I like calling them that. Marty Lou. It makes them smile. And they are cute when they smile! :)

So here is the latest scoop on Marty Lou.

Beautiful.
Couple.
Baby.
In the belly. :)
Super cute.
Super in love.

I watched the slideshow 6 times and probably will 2 more times before I go to bed.





And there is more...
Marty is a painter with some beautiful work, check it out here, you will enjoy it! :)

go visit friends, make a new one!

Before the weekend I went to Vancouver (south) to see a couple of photographer friends, Kathy & Shannon.

Whenever I get together with them I feel so inspired in so many ways. We share ideas, go photograph together, talk shop, hang out, make sarcastic jokes, laugh, all that. I always leave feeling filled up, sometimes overflowing ;)

These visits, as well as my local friends, inspired me to put together a chick photographers group.  I wanted all that idea sharing, energy, and inspiration to happen often. A get together involving coffee and whatever else we wanted to do/talk about in a relaxed environment.

So far it has been great! It's still in the beginning stages. I don't know exactly where it is going to go (maybe I should make some plans!) but it is only going to get better and better :)

While I was in Vancouver I made a new friend.  Kathy and Shannon shared her with me and I am so glad! She is super cool and her images make my eyes happy! Now I can share her with you...  

Check her out here: Kristy
