remember this beautiful mama….
well, here is her ADORABLE little baby boy. his little nickname is peanut - that is the cutest nickname I have ever heard! he is sooooo precious! I am seriously having baby “peanut” withdrawls right now.
These were from a session a few weeks ago…(I don’t know where my days go, it is so crazy to be behind in the month of April) I just love this family who I was so blessed to meet a couple of years ago. They were wonderful clients who have now become friends that I truly adore. I recently did Ally’s maternity session (that I can’t wait to share some….just need to get her approval on them:) the littlest sure gives me a run for the money….and sweating bullets too! I figured out something on this one session, let her be in charge and definitely, be on her level:) They are so precious!
oh, and Renee, thanks for all of your help:) you are totally hired!
xo, christina
These were her “own” poses. Isn’t she a doll!
Just got a chance to add a few…..Isn’t she stunning!!!
I just wanted to thank Jr Miss for choosing me as their photographer. Kim, you were amazing to work with! We will forever be each others stalker:) xo
It was such an honor to be part of their program this year! I really enjoyed meeting and photographing each of the girls. Tonight is the program and I am sure they will making lots of parents tear up! (I will be bringing lots of tissue myself!)
I also wanted to thank Jamie Stephens with Shine Salon for doing such a beautiful job on the girls make up! Jamie, you rock!!!
Anyhow, I look forward to the show tonight. Best wishes to all of the girls!!! Good Luck girls!!! xoxo
meet viktoria & nels. I am so excited for them. They will be getting married in May and have chosen me to photograph their wedding. We were so lucky to have such a beautiful, sunny morning to photograph their engagement pictures. They are an amazingly beautiful couple. A quick sneak peek…
On another note…have lots to post ~ been working really hard on the jr miss project. Also, if you are waiting on an order, they will all be ready to pick up this week. I will call you and leave a message when they are ready. So excited for this next weekend. Headed to Vegas for WPPI (photography convention & trade show). Well, I am off to have a little fun right now, a comedy show in Spokane. I really need a good laugh right about now- I have been working so hard lately, as if it was the middle of Christmas season! It’s all good though:)
These girls could seriously be models! I nicknamed them “gap girls” a couple of years back. They just “know” how to work the camera. Mom came with lots of accessories for their recent session - so awesome! LOVE that! Thanks for a great photo shoot. Can’t wait for the next:)
All shot with 85 1.4…. I think I’m in love w/ it!
they were such awesome kids! and so adorable! gotta run ~
you can see his “hanes” underwear……here’s a little tidbit - Back in the early 90’s in Monterey, California - I managed a Champion Hanes Factory Outlet Store. I have no idea why I just told you that. Seeing his hanes I guess just reminded me of that.
Who said white men can’t jump….I seriously almost peed my pants watching them!!!
It was such a pleasure meeting this wonderful family. I am so happy for you guys! What a BEAUTIFUL, sweet baby!!!:) can she be anymore sweeter?
adorable!!!
I have decided to open my schedule to 2 more days for mini sessions. One day is already full. I do have a few spots open for Saturday, November 14th at the Studio. These sessions are for children only and will be done in studio or outside of studio building {weather permitting}. Please call 208.765.5560 to schedule an appointment.
Meet the “G” family….Aren’t they the cutest!!! I originally met the G family 4 years ago…one of my original clients that I have had the pleasure of photographing year after year. I began photographing them as a couple with their 2 VERY big doggies. They were their babies {at the time}. The G family has an amazing story…. they tried for a family for {many} years. They were blessed with the most adorable little boy almost 2 years ago and again a couple of months ago!!! God is so good!
I learned something VERY valuable on this last session…Little “E” is much happier with a lollipop. Congrats “G” family!!!
I know I said the other day that I have to quit blogging for awhile… but just had to add these few for now. I have lots to blog. I also wanted to thank all of my clients who are waiting for proofs or orders…for being so patient!!!!thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart =) This is seriously the craziest time of year for me. Working like non stop =)
I just loved her beautiful red dress…. she is also so beautiful! we also had lots of fun! one quick sneak peek…
dance…………….like no one is watching.
Well, I have been under the weather (like a big black cloud!) this last week - Haven’t been able to get out of bed or walk for most of the week. I had a back injury a few years ago that has been really giving me some problems lately. I started back to physical therapy this week. I had the most pain I have ever had in my life a few days ago, but I am happy to say (and praising God for this! very thankful for all of the prayers!) that I am starting to feel better!!! Wahoo! Still gotta take it easy, one day at a time =) I have been ordered to not sit at my computer this whole week, so I would be in big trouble if my phs therapist saw me today!
So anyhow, I was able to get another session proofed, and here are a few sneak peeks… This CDA senior and her mom were so sweet! I hope you love your pics =)
I just had a wonderful photo shoot the other night. Tessa was sooooo kind, sweet and beautiful. Oh! and look at her beautiful eyelashes! Those are not photoshop’d! Beautiful! We started at the studio and finished at Tubbs Hill. I am starting to get my exercise now =) I have sessions on Tubbs every week for the next 6 weeks. It was such a pleasure hiking w/ Tessa and her Mom….fun talking to you two….it was almost like we’ve known each other for years! I can’t wait for your family shoot in the fall! Thanks for a wonderful photo shoot.
PS The 2nd image w/ the pink background is a sample page that I just designed that would be great in a senior folio or could also be used in a senior graduation party announcement, etc.
My niece was here this past weekend and we went on a photo shoot starting at 6:00pm and didn’t finish till 11:00 pm. She loves to get her pics taken! (I wonder why:) It is so funny to see the last few photos that I took at the end of the night. Let’s just say, I had some pretty crazy angles! Oh, and I also locked my keys in the truck while we were at the studio at the end of the night. We had lots of fun! Had a big giant bug fly right into my eyeball! (I do not like bugs!!!) Had lots of fun scaring them! I have never seen them jump so high! (I will be nice…got a few pics of them like scaredy cats but won’t show you:) So, here are a few…she is a beautiful girl!!! She goes to school in Denver, trying to get her to move here!
This is a pic of my sister (she just moved here a few days ago - sooooooo excited to have her here!) my oldest niece Ashley and youngest niece Brianna.
Here are a few pics of the new studio. I am so excited to be able to offer studio pictures to my clients! My BFF (aka Amy Waddington) went in together and decorated the studio with these beautiful canvas’s. I am IN {love} with them! They are sooooo gorgeous!!! So, to share my {love} I am offering a 20% discount on all gallery wraps. (For a limited time only)
What a pleasure to meet this beautiful family…they are visiting here for the first time all the way from Texas. Really loved all the colors in their clothing and all of the new spring colors in the foliage. Check out the absolutely adorable polk-a-dot rain boots that mom picked out. Miss “P” {absolutely} would not put them on, how cute would that have been. I do think we got something even cuter here…trying to put the boots on her doggy! Love it:) Enjoy your trip in Coeur d’Alene Nokes Family:)
Just working on her proofs and had to add this one. She is so beautiful!
