Meet the “S” family….they have an adorable little girl w/ the most blueist eyes you will ever see! So, here’s the deal. ~ Dayna booked this appointment 1 year ago, just after their fall session from 2008 - then they had another session in May of ‘09. I bumped into them at the Vintage Barn Sale in September and mentioned to them their next session was coming out…her hubby was feeling all “photo’d” out. Which I can totally understand, especially for the hubby’s - 3 sessions within one year! ~ he really loves his family!!! During our conversation, he mentioned about this really awesome property that they take care of…and that we could use it for their session. The way he was describing it sounded pretty awesome, I think it changed his tune on the idea of family pics. Dayna said after that day, he was all for pics =) Way to go Mike!!!!!! You are an awesome hubby and dad!!! I am in LOVE this location!!!

UPDATE: new Christmas Cards are now posted on the website. just go to www.christinagphotography.com - click on “clients” and type in the password cards (all lowercase).

Aren’t they the cutest? ever! It is especially fun for me when I get to photograph kids year after year! I just love to see them grow up!!! Little “S” is about to get a baby brother and I am so excited for them! Congrats “h” family!!! Can’t wait to meet him =)
Thanks “h” & “e” family for being so patient on your proofs…I am on a roll~i think =)

Mike & Natalie are swim teachers in downtown Coeur d’Alene. Natalie is the coolest :)…and she is my daughter’s swim teacher. When I first brought my sweet little girl to Natalie for swim lessons, my daughter literally cried if she got a drop of water on her face. Ok, so that makes it a little difficult to go swimming =). So, each summer - we go see Natalie for lessons - she is the BEST in the WEST! I have also had the pleasure of photographing her family and watched her kiddos grow up =) Oh, and she has the coolest house. She has the biggest imagination, the most colorful ideas, ….a few words to describe her decorating- wild, shabby, colorful is an understatement, chic, cool, and did I say WILD? It is so wild and I love it! Here are a few sneak peeks…xo Hamm Family!!!
back to proofing =)

It was truly a beautiful, sunny, warm, September day for the Vintage Barn Sale.  Couldn’t of asked for better weather!!!  It was a whole lot of fun, music, food and of course cool junk.  I found some of my best treasures for props this show.  Wahoo!  I have the best job ever - I get to work and shop at the same time =).  Well, mark your calenders for next July.  Don’t wanna miss it!!!

PS  The Vintage Barn has a fun little giveaway on their blog this month.  Check it out!

meet the Waddell family…I have had the pleasure to have their friendship for the last 6 years.  Kristin & I met at a M.O.P.S. group (I believe it was abput 6 years ago…losing track of time!)  We had one of the most wonderful groups that year….we got together on a regular basis w/ all of our kiddos and just hung out - life was a little less hectic then! Great friends that I am so blessed to have! xo

About a year and half ago, Chris was diagnosed w/ cancer.  He had surgery last year.  And this past summer, was told it was back.  They were given some horrible news at first but later told that it was in fact treatable. Praise God…God is so good!!! They have been on one heck of a roller coaster!  He has just finshed his most recent chemo treatments and will be headed back to MD Anderson in Texas.  There he will do blood work, CT Scan and a PT Scan.  I would like to ask everyone to pray for complete healing for Chris and and a safe trip home. They have an amazing testimony and story. You can view it here.

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…
