My Two Favorite Models!

Recognize these two cuties? I have featured both Haylee and Hunter in several of my marketing pieces over the last couple of years. They are so much fun to be around, and we always get great expressions and have a great time!

We spent some time in the park for this session, and some of their images will be included on their modeling agency's website! I'll post the link as soon as we get the images uploaded!

Sessions in the park are great this time of year! The evenings are unbelievably gorgeous--and not too hot. Give me a call to get your children or family scheduled!

Grandma Sherri & Emma

I have been photographing Sherri's "kids" at Cornerstone Montessori since...forever! Now that Sherri is a grandma, she called to have me photograph her family and new granddaughter, Emma. Emma was not overly thrilled to be part of this epic family portrait. In fact, she evidenced true diva-like traits by expressing her displeasure with the whole affair!

All said, we went back to the studio and captured a few tender moments with Emma and Mom and Dad.

And here's Sherri's kids in the park. I photographed Justin, lower left, when he was a senior in high school, and Josh, upper right, owns Waddell's, next to Twigs on South Hill.

More Seniors!!

Senior season is in full swing and this week I had the privilege of photographing 3 seniors from Southridge HS in Kennewick. As luck would have it, Spokane experienced some of its highest temps this week. The girls from Tricities felt right at home!


Here is my favorite image from Sarah's session.




On Saturday Paige and Chelsea drove up for their session. They braved the crowds of Hoopfest to make a quick stop at Nordstrom for some last-minute clothing items for their session. We circled the park and took some really fun photographs in and around the pond.






Here's my favorite of Chelsea:








And this is my favorite of Paige! I have to tell you that I photographed Paige MANY years ago when she was only about 4 years old! I would post it, but its been so long ago that it was actually photographed on FILM and I don't have a digital file on hand. Maybe I'll look it up and post in someday. It was a fabulous image of Paige and her sister, Logan, who has also grown up quite a bit. Time flies...

Summer is Here--Almost!

Meet John, Amy, Kaitlin, and Victoria! We had a great session in the park the other day. We came very close to moving it into the studio because it had been raining earlier in the day. (And several days prior!) But, as if on cue, the rain stopped, the sky brightened, and we were able to get this wonderful image of the family in front the pond at Cannon Hill Park, (otherwise known as Diane Maehl's very own personal outdoor studio!)



Today I heard that the locals are referring to this month as "June-uary" As much as I wish summer were officially here, I have to admit I haven't seen the park this green in quite some time. Combine that with the blooming dogwood trees, nice soft light from the clouds overhead, and great subjects, and you have the makings of a beautiful portrait!
