Rob and Erica are Engaged!

Erica and Rob braved the cold with me Saturday morning for their engagement session. We met at Tumwater Falls early in the morning. And started our journey. I've said it before, but I love my job, and anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE to talk. I talk way too much, and usually about the most random things. Rob informed me, while we were walking to the next location, (and shivering I might add) that I am way too cheery in the mornings. People told me this all the time when I was in high school and PE was our first class at 8:20. It takes me a little bit to get up, but once I am, I'm up and ready to go! Erica and Rob are such a great couple, and I am so excited to shoot their wedding in February. Erica and Rob, thank you so much for meeting me so early in the morning! I hope you like your sneak peek!

Miss Boudoir!

Miss Boudoir finally has a face,I'm sure you've seen her on my site and blog before! I was so excited when Ashley agreed to let me post some of the photos from her session to share her experience with other women. This was my very first Boudoir session, and I was nervous, but so excited to get in there to see if it was something I liked. I've been anxiously waiting for Ashley's fiancee's birthday to arrive. It's today, so Happy Birthday, Nick! Ashley got ahold of me as soon as he opened his gift, and I started working away on getting them ready for the blog. Thank you so much Ashley for asking me to take these photos. I'm so glad Nick enjoyed his gift! I'm always a little bummed by the colors online, as they don't POP like they do in photoshop! Enjoy anyway:)

The image above is my VERY favorite from the session:)

Today...

Just a quick post from this afternoon. I took this photo to match this this little guy's brother's photo. Does that make sense? Anyway, here it is! Isn't this guy handsome? He was all over the place too! I've stopped by his house a few times with Josh, and every time he talks to me a little more. :) Ty and his little brother are the sweetest boys.

Miss Boudoir

Last week I had a boudoir session, and because we are keeping it under wraps, I won't be posting any other images besides this one, until Miss Boudoir's man receives his gift. I just loved this one so much, I thought I would share. It helps that you can only see part of her face, so she won't be revealed. This was my first boudoir session, and I hope I get the chance to do more! Here's a little sneak peek of her session. If you recognize Miss Boudoir, shhhh... Please keep her secret.

Something A Little More Personal

I rarely post anything personal on this blog. Most of our personal stuff, is posted on my other blog A Beautiful Life which hasn't been too personal lately being as there is nothing super interesting going on in our lives. We bought a house, so we are spending the weekends when we are at home "kind of" doing things around the house. Yesterday I touched up the paint on the molding in the bathroom. Anyway, last Friday when we were on our drive home for the three day weekend, I was mentioning how long it had been since we had seen Josh's best man, Lopez. In the army no one has a first name. While I know Lopez' first name, there are a bunch of them that I just know by last name. Most of these guys don't even know each other's first names, so why would I? We hadn't seen "Lo-Lo" since January 2008, when he stayed with us. Arriving at 12 am. and leaving at 6 a.m. that morning. Needless to say there wasn't alot of chit chat that morning. I don't even think he let me cook him breakfast.

So when we were on our way home (back to Kelso) Monday afternoon, we got ten minutes away, and were told to "come back, Lopez is here!" He drove down from Ft. Lewis. Did he call? No. So he was really lucky we weren't home already. It was so nice to meet his family, and catch up with Lopez. We laughed over wedding photos, Josh and Lo-Lo shared a drink and we ate pizza. The perfect way to spend Labor Day.

I rarely take my camera out for family events, but I just happened to have my camera in the car. Last weekend was awful for weather so my engagement session is being rescheduled for the second time.
