These guys flew in from England for the weekend and managed to fit in a family portrait session. It was awesome how it just worked out perfectly to get the family together. We were able to catch some really great moments in there session too. This one is really special.
It's always exciting to capture a moment like this one. It's a pretty awesome portrait.




Being a horse lover myself I just had to post this panel. Erin was a winner of a grad session and chose to include in this a super fun session with her horse. Gorgeous portraits. I love these!

There is something amazing about this image. The light reflecting softly on the water as the sky opens up in the background. It's absolutely beautiful.



These families had the right idea including their old trucks in their family portraits. These are totally awesome!! You can see in the top panel that it was just starting to rain but still ideal for the shot.

Grad Portraits




We recently enjoyed photographing grads from the NIC Nursing Program. The portraits turned out fantastic. And so deserved after all the student's hard work . Congratulations to all the grads!

More From Our Baby Sessions


Fall Portraits



This was such a fun group of ladies to photograph. I love how these images capture the interaction between grandma, mom and her daughters. It's really neat to see each of the ladies unique personalities here. Lots of fun. Awesome portrait! Kin Beach has been a great place to hide away from the wind and shoot some amazing fall portraits.




More great famiy moments. What a great time of year to get out there and capture the rich fall colors and tones. This itty bitty image collection is pretty cool. You can't help but smile when you see these guys together.

Family

This brother and sister were a whole lot of fun to photograph! I love the fall colors here. The portraits turned out fantastic!




This is a beautiful image. I am taken with it. The expression in her eyes along with the soft, rich colors just draw us in. It is altogether lovely. The amazing thing is that this was a test shot. Somehow those images that you just don't expect can turn out to be the ones you love the most.

Tiny Treasures

It is a priviledge to photograph the Charette family's second little one - Tristan. We had the pleasure of watching Tristan's sister grow and change throughout her first year and now we are thrilled to have the opportunity to watch this little guy as he charms his way through his baby portrait sessions. One of the many rewards that come with this line of work.
