Little Lila

Little Lila is already 15 months old. It seems that I took her mom, Heather's, pregnancy photos just a few months ago. When I arrived for Lila's photo shoot her dad, Art, said that she was just slipping into her tutu. Sure enough Lila came around the corner in the coolest Purple tutu with flower petals in the hem. Mom and dad had several outfits ready for her but tutu was such a winner that we stuck with it.
Art and Heather have a great collection of one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture that always make for great props in their photos. Lila turned this chair into a stage and put on a great performance.
South and west facing windows provide great lighting for location photo shoots in peoples homes. Whenever I arrive for a portrait session the first thing I look for are picture windows and unique props such as this basket that was filled with Lila's toys before it was filled with Lila!!

Emily

Miranda's friend Emily came to hang out at the house for the weekend. Her Mum, Mrs. Nelson was Miranda and Sam's teacher when they were in fifth and sixth grade so Emily is like a fourth daughter. I shot a few frames of her as I was walking out to a family shoot on the mountain.

Ken and Jen

Ken, Jen, Bryce and Daisy live in a great straw bale house surrounded by flowers. Ken and I used to work together as lifeguards in college years ago and bump into each other every couple of years. We had a great afternoon taking photos as Ken, Jen and the kids relaxed around their home.
