LOOK at this totally rad chair I found in Spokane yesterday! SO excited to use this for a prop! who wants to use it first?

Oh, are they the sweetest, cutest, most adorable….and oh my! love, love their outfits! I loved the style, the colors, the patterns!
Mom did an awesome job!!!
The weather around here has been very crazy! One day it is summer and the next, well, it is winter, spring and summer all in the same day! How do you plan for that one? We totally froze on this day…of course a few hours later in the day, it was sunny and beautiful. We got through it….with the help of mom & dad promising….Silverwood to their beautiful kiddo’s for doing a great job with pics! So happy to meet this family!

A celebration of life…… even the simplest things….things we take for granted are some of the most beautiful things in life.

Alexis was one of my Jr Miss girls I photographed in the spring…. I had lots of fun with her and her mom, exploring and using some new locations! Just a quick sneak peek;) Can’t wait to work on the rest! xo, christina

I have been dying to edit some of their wedding pics….lots more to come. They were such a GORGEOUS couple and so wonderful to work with. I will upload some more later. *Need* to go watch American Idol and hang out with the family:) Thanks Nels & Viktoria - you guys are amazing! xo, christina

Here is their wedding announcement that I designed.

I just love spring….the new grass, the new leaves, all of the new “green” and even the dandelions (just as long as their not in my yard:) - We had some crazy wind, but managed through it. Jessica is a beautiful girl!

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.

Mentoring at the laundry mat….that sure sounds funny! Well, I have wanted to do a laundry mat shoot forever! So, I thought what the heck, that would be a fun addition to a day of mentoring!!! So cool because my mentoree, Tana has wanted to do the same shoot! It was so fun!
What a beautiful model we had! I have been dying to edit some of these! Lots more from this session, if I ever get a chance, I will add more.
I have lots of sessions to sneak peak on the blog…just not enough time to get them all up. Here are a few from my mentoring session a few weeks ago. I will offer more mentoring sessions (online/phone mentoring and one on one in person) at a later time. (for individuals who live at least 100 mile radius from Coeur d’Alene) If you would like to be on an email list for when sessions are available, please email me.
thanks for looking - have a great weekend!
