Dani ~Albany, Oregon Personal Trainer~

Dani and I met a few years ago when we both worked at ACS. It has been really fun to work with Dani...she has given me some great one on one training and I really felt like I could do some great things. Now I just need to follow through! (And keep going to see her!) :)

Check out her website, take a look and see what she offers!

Dani Chance ~Personal Trainer~

So we did a session for Dani to get some head shots and updated fitness photo's done. This was a lot of fun...especially since I got to be the one telling Dani to "RUN!" or do exercises!

Busy-ness

Wow, the soccer season is here and we are in full swing! All three of our girls are playing this year, on three different teams! It has been fun, but a bit crazy over the past few weeks. On top of that we had a group of guys from our church come help us put a new roof on our house, and if that wasn't enough I picked up some free paint, borrowed my dads paint sprayer and have been painting the exterior of our house! So...I have been keeping quite busy. I have a fun senior session coming up and I am excited to get back to my photography after all the distractions lately! That isn't to say I haven't been taking pictures though...

I ♥ Faces "Laughter" ~Kids

I saw this sweet picture and thought it fit nicely with the "laughter" theme for the contest at

This is my sweet 4 year old...we were out taking some birthday pictures last month and she was just posing away, so I started shooting and caught this adorable moment of her laughing!

Brooke and Rae'ven are two of the sweetest girls! Their mom, Michelle, and I are good friends, so I was excited when she asked me to do a shoot with the girls and their dad when he arrived home from Iraq! I felt honored. Derek just returned from a 15 month tour in Iraq (which I believe is his second!)

So I am editing away on this session. I wanted to post a few pictures while I finish working on the rest.

This next picture just makes me smile. I love how it turned out and the look on baby's face is just priceless to me. If I were witty enough I would come up with some sort of humorous caption, but I don't have anything. I love the raised eyebrow and questioning look!

~Friends~

It is so good to spend time with our friends...but hard to let them leave! The time always goes by too quickly! We just took a few quick shots after church yesterday...they are such a cute family. Their baby girl is adorable and snuggly! I loved holding her a bunch. Miss M is such a fireball and had me laughing most of the time. Jen is so sweet and always wants to do the best for everyone. Ben is, well, Ben. Fun, smart and goofy! :) We love them to death!

I couldn't decide which one I liked, so I had to put both. The black and white is so dark and moody, but I actually like it on this shot.

I ♥ Faces~ Kids Entry ~ Joy

One day last summer my daughters were playing outside in the water and I captured this picture as she was about to swing through a stream of cold water. I love the childish look of glee on her face. So this is my kids entry for this weeks theme of "Joy"....check it out at http://www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com/

I got some more pictures finished and wanted to post a few more for you. Again, I had a good time with your family. Sorry I left my tripod there! Oops!

~Erin~

What can I say about Erin? She is a sweet friend, whom I don't get to spend much time with, but I enjoy every minute that I do. She makes me laugh at her silly antics. And laughter is great medicine!

I had a great time with her today, she is naturally comfortable in front of the camera. (And so she should be!) I can't wait to go through all of her pictures! The only problem is that I think they are ALL going to be great...how do I decide? So, I just pulled out a few that I really liked, for now.

~Arely~

Here are a few more from the Quinceañera. I loved all the pink! Arely is so beautiful! (Click on the pictures to make them bigger!)

This is a shot that I have been wanting to try for a long time! It worked out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to have a camera with a bigger viewing screen! But still...I love it!
