Fourth of July Gift Inspiration

The weather has been so nice here in the pacific northwest and we have been enjoying our summer to the fullest, with breakfast on the marina, barbecue's for dinner, and lots of swimming in between! I hope that you have been enjoying your week just as much as we have. 

I have two very important people serving LDS missions so we put together a fun and patriotic package with lots of fun and easy ideas. Thank you Pinterest!

I wrapped chocolate kisses in paper covered toilet paper rolls and just decorated the roll with an "I Love America" stamp.

These cookies were so simple and delicious. The recipe is from here. And I got the sprinkles from the bakery section at the grocery store.

Children Mini Session | Silverdale, Washington Photographer

The cuteness of these 5 boys is absolutely crazy! And the fact that the little ones are twins, I was about ready to burst because they all were to die for. This mini session turned out so cute and perfect for summer!

 

 

happy friday

hope you all have a great friday and a fun summer!

Carlos Vallejo 2013 Graduation | Event Photographer

Last week I was asked to document Carlos graduating and I was so excited to be able to do this for him and his family. We have known Carlos and his family for a very long time and he is like a younger brother. He will be serving an LDS mission in Mexico City in July and we couldn't be more proud. 

Thanks Carlos and the Vallejo family for including me in such a special day! 

 

My website is finally done!

This has been such a long process! I wouldn't believe how long it took to finish, if I didn't experience it first hand! I never realized how indecisive I was. I would decide on something and a few days later I completely changed my mind. I am so excited to be done and to show everyone! I hope you like it and let me know what you think!

Of course, I will continue to post on this blog too!

Carly Gorman | Before and After

I loved photographing Carly and a huge thank you to her for working with me! She is absolutely gorgeous and a breeze to photograph. I am also really excited to showcase this "before and after" session!
I always love being able to work in the Pacific Northwest. It has so many beautiful forests and ocean, providing a backdrop unlike any other. If you are looking for a one-of-a kind experience, please contact me to set up your session. I have limited availability and spaces are filling up quickly. Don't hesitate to book your session this summer, it's never too early!

beach day | point no point

To help keep me and Patrick busy, I have decided to start a new series on my blog. I am going to visit a new place each week, somewhere I have never been and post all the fun pictures on my blog!
Our first place we went to was Point no Point beach and lighthouse. It was a perfect day and Patrick loved the sand and the freezing cold water (much different than Hawaii).

If you have any suggestions for places that me and Patrick should go, let me know! I would love to know of any awesome places you have been!
