Follow your bliss

Find what makes your heart sing and don't let anything get in your way....follow your bliss.

Go Danny Go !

Danny- what do you think? Not bad for an early Saturday morning photo session. Thanks for hanging in there and waiting for a dry day. I think it was well worth the wait. I can't wait to show you the rest of your photographs. When I was a little girl seeing my shadow always made me run faster. Silly I know but that's the way it was for me and my shadow. Good luck at districts. Run your heart out!

Brittany

This is Brittany- just a sneak peak. Wait 'til you see the fun we had during her senior portrait session. Brittany is filled with adventure and ideas. I've been working lots to capture every last 2009 senior during our wet spring. This was one of those perfect days when you know the light is going to be ever so sweet right to the end. I love photographing at the end of the day... the light presents everything in a striking way. It was so fun to work with Brittany and her sweet little doggy. I met her mom Pam around 5 years ago when my daughter needed some physical therapy. Pam is always there with something nice to say and a happy welcome. I am honored that I was selected to photograph Brittany. What a pleasure!

Just for a moment

Just for a moment...take time be. I just finished reading my friend Kathy's blog and she inspired me to post this cute photo of this farm cat that came a visiting me during a recent session. This cat showed up uninvited to multiple locations and then while heading across the farm I spied the cat just being for a moment. Kathy talked about slowing down and enjoying the moment. Living life to the fullest, being present, feel the sun on your skin, embrace it ...this cat gave me the gift of being "fully in the moment". Meow-

Fundraiser at Suburban Sole in Enumclaw

Last weekend I went to a fund raiser with my friend Jolynn Voth (awesome lady, mom,hair stylist, gardener, artist and much much more) She set up a shopping night at Suburban Soul http://www.suburbansoul.net/ in Enumclaw- it was fantastic...good eats, wine, beautiful decor, amazing jean bar (never heard of one before last week)- it was a fun evening to meet new people, eat, shop and relax --as well as raise money for the breast cancer 3 day walk coming up this summer. If you haven't been to Suburban Soul yet you gotta check it out. This shop has much to offer such as home decor/art pieces to fashionable clothing to Italian made shoes. Make sure you allow enough time to browse around. The ladies will help you find something perfect for an up coming occasion like high school graduation (for moms) Thanks Jolynn for getting everyone together for a fun night.

Emily

Emily-- look at how beautiful you are. I just loved working with you--and Kelsey was great with the light reflector. What a great friend to come along and help out too. You have amazing

FASH-on and style. Most of all, I see a kind person with a big heart when I look at your portraits. It is so great to see you and your mom so close. You treat her well- with love and respect and seeing you two together just fills my cup. So glad I got a chance to know you.

Dream big!

Kelsey

Hi Kelsey- wow you really rocked it for your session location and the works. I am so impressed that you found this needle in a haystack location and that the owner was so friendly and accommodating to us. I love your smile and was smiling and laughing with you and your mom the whole session long. You energy is contagious! You are a beautiful person - inside and out. I can't wait to get your photographs in your hands.

If you could hear me sing...

this photograph was taken in Kenya, Africa during my daughters trip there in 2007. How amazingly these siblings band together as they go about their day. If you could hear them sing you would know their joys are so great. I am encouraging my daughter to post her slideshow that includes the voices of Kenya.

beautiful children

This is truly one of the cutest girls on planet earth. She is playful and bright. Thanks for being our model, Ms. N the rock star

He couldn't be any more adorable. This is my friend Anna's son. He was a model for a group of eager photographers and he did his part so well. I love the window light and his relaxed placement. Thanks Anna for providing such great boys for us to photograph. Your boys are darling to watch -as they interact.

Friends at the Park

Check it out! Spring has sprung...at least for the moment. Berlyn and her pals were game for some fun at the park. I took lots of photographs of all of these awesome gals having a good time, playing around. I'm planning to use the photographs for Berlyn's podcast. I am going to add tons of the photos to her slide show to complete the podcast. It's going to rock because Berlyn and her friends are so much fun together and oh so so beautiful! Wow- I also tried out my new whimsy borders on these photos. I think they are fun and playful and I see lots of possibilities for some great albums.

Matthew gets his driver's permit

My son Matthew got his permit yesterday after a very long wait at the licensing office. He drove home from his driver's ed class last night with Dad. I snapped a couple of photos- while he was getting out of the truck. We're starting a new chapter - the start of more responsibility, privilege and independence.

Berlyn

This is Berlyn, a new rep/model for AMIT {class of 2010}. We had a fun time during her urban session- She said that she is an urban gal and loves the downtown atmosphere. Check out her pattered rain boots, perfect for this winter photo session. I just love your big brown eyes- they speak before you say a word-simply beautiful!

Berlyn will be A Moment in Time's featured senior rep on the "New for 2010" limited edition, iTunes photo session {to be announce in March}. Thanks Berlyn!

Hands

I was so inspired by the great weather this weekend I just had to get out and photograph. I did not take these photographs this weekend nor do I have the magic powers to make tulips bloom in Feb. and I found these photographs from last year and thought they would be fun to post. Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait. I am already seeing the tiny buds growing on my trees and crocus blooming around my yard and neighborhood. I love the changes of the season and the anticipation of the new surroundings. This little girl is the daughter of a master gardener and loves plants as well. I love how she is using her hands and fingers to interact with the flowers so gingerly.

Zach

What time is it? TRAIN TIME-- This is my client and friend Zach. He loves trains and wants to be a conductor some day. We had so much fun hanging out at Kent Station looking at the train tracks and waiting for the train. Check out his amazing jump. All for the love of trains. Zach you are awesome and I am so proud of you. Wait until you see his 4 wheeler photos-

Nicole

I had a chance to play around with my daughter Nicole and create some striking photos of her with her dramatic make up and look. She is a QT- I love her bunches and bunches.

Meet Max

Max is the greatest dog! I had an instant heart connection with his owner Barb and soon our dogs became playmates. Max joined us for previews and more. As part of my upcoming charity event - Dog Days of Summer- I am photographing a few pets to get ready for the promotion.

Stay tuned for more information. You'll see Max again when the event is announced. Thanks Barb for providing such a great model.
