Chelsea






So, Chelsea, Krissie, and Heather are all roommates. I hope they print these as 8x10's and frame them on the wall in their apartment. Oh, and put vinyl lettering above them that says "we love mckenzie" hahahahaha!

Chloe





Chloe was a hard one to crack. Most of the time we had her Mom hold her so we could get her to smile. :)

Chris and Natalie








What an adorable couple! I could tell from the very beginning that this coupled LOVED each other. I mean they are in LOVE! Lilly (my friendly videographer) was there taking video of their love story. I'm not gonna lie, I definitely cried. It was just so sweet. :) Thanks you two!

Tate Family



The Tate Family has been such a huge part of my life growing up. I used to babysit M.E. and Gary and Joyce have been great friends with my parents. In fact, when my Dad and Gary cross paths, it seems like any other obligations or appointments that they had were dismissed and they talked for at least 3 hours. :) Each Christmas Joyce and her daughters get together to make special homemade chocolates. When this precious plate of heaven comes to the house everyone does 'paper, rock, scisssors' for who gets what. Thank you so much for letting me take your family's portraits. Gary and Joyce, you two are a beautiful couple who have reared and nourished a wonderful family. I love you all!

HEATHER! Oh my goodness! These turned out stunning! Props to you for the fabulous color combos, I don't think I would have come up with these one my own. LOVE the umbrella, chair, scarf, everything! I hope you liked them as much as I do. :)

Hailey





Hailey was such a cutie. She had her Mama Koala stuffed animal with her to keep her company for the photo shoot. To help Hailey laugh I thought it would be a good idea to take Mama Koala's portraits too. Once I showed Hailey the photos, she would not stop laughing. What a cutie!

Sorenson Family









I did Justin and Alyssa Sorenson's wedding. Actually technically my husband photographed their wedding. I took their engagement and bridal sessions. Check out their wedding images on www.gregcharles.blogspot.com - This is a barn/fence behind the Sorenson's house. It's going to be bulldozed soon, so they thought it would be a good idea to shoot next to it. I agreed completely! :) Thanks for Lilly McDowell for the borrowing of the cute red chairs. :)

Halloween 2008


I have had many friends, family, and past clients that have been asking what we were for Halloween this year. Each year I make our costumes with a little help from my Mom (thanks Mom!). Ellie LOVES Minnie. When we went to Disneyland in August, that was her favorite new word. So it only seemed appropriate to have the fam be Mickey, Minnie, and Minnie Me. :) We had SOOO much fun with these costumes. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!
