Sneak Peak: Smiley Children

Today I took photos of the Smiley kids, and Wow!, they are getting big! Brooke is growing up like crazy into such a beautiful girl and those brothers of hers are just too cute too! I am looking forward to posting the rest of their photos by the end of the week. Thanks Smiley family, you are "gorgeous"!

Savina : Portraits

Despite losing power for awhile we were able to finally do Savina's photos. Her mom (Amber) brought dresses that her mother (Pat) had worn when she was a baby...that is so cool! We took a photos of Savina wearing the same dress her Grandma Pat wore in a photo years ago. The dresses are so delicate & pretty. It was really fun to recreate a moment in time. I just love being able to take photographs that will capture those moments & memories!

Slope Style : Sports & Events

Mt. Shasta Ski Park held its annual Slope Style event on Saturday, Jan 22nd. It was so nice up there. The sun was warm, shining and the day was sooo nice! I was able to get some photos of the competitors. I have posted them on my website and also on Flickr.

This is Wyatt!

Tandy : Senior

Tandy & I finally got a chance to go out & get her senior photos taken between sporting events. She is one busy girl & as we all know quite involved in Etna athletics. Look for more sport pictures in the future. We headed outdoors for these & the weather had a little bit of everything to offer. I'm thinking warmer weather would be a good thing at this point. I have been heading out in freezing, just about raining or snowing weather lately & I am already ready for spring to roll around!! Now back to Tandy....

St. Jude....You absolutely should watch this!

With Christmas fast approaching it is so easy to get side tracked by the "what to get" & "what to get done" lists. I have been a supporter of St. Jude for awhile now but this video represents soooo much more than St. Jude alone. It makes me appreciate that my children are healthy and sets me back a for a moment to think about and realize what is really important. This will most likely make you cry some heart felt tears, but it is worth watching every second of it. I also love Matthew West. I just bought his CD the other day, so it was cool to see him sharing this story....just watch it.

King Family

I was delighted to be able to take my sisters family pictures. We crossed our fingers for the weather to hold off raining or snowing on us & luckily it did! It was a little cold & damp out but we got it done, yeah!
