workshop n stuff

May 30, 2013

For a few days after our workshops, I feel like I have been hit with a small truck. But, now that the sleep deprivation, nerves, and stress are gone, I am left only with the amazing memories of two days with SUCH a cool group of people. I am also left with the wonderful truth that we are SO blessed and grateful to share with and teach others what we love doing most. So much thanks to the crazy awesome attendees and all of the people working behind the scenes!

Right after the most amazing weekend at the Chic Retreat, I met up with Heidi and her family for an awesome shoot in downtown Seattle. IN love with this family. And IN love with Seattle.

whizzing and stuff

April 11, 2013

The reality of time whizzing by at warp speeds smacks me right in the face whenever I go to photograph a six month session. I mean, seriously people, I was JUST at their house photographing their newborn session last week. Or maybe it was last September. Where. Did. Six. Months. Go?

As I ponder ways to slow time, or, rather enjoy and utilize the precious time I have, enjoy some images of one of my favorite family’s six month session…

blue.berries.n.fun.

March 6, 2013

At the beginning of 2013, some serious awesome goals were made. One of them was going through and organizing, sorting, and backing up FIVE YEARS worth of our family’s images. While going through the images, I came upon these from last summer, and knew I HAD to share. One, because I am crazy homesick for summer, and two, because, well, they kinda ooze happiness and we all need a little of that right now.

This is who we affectionately call Ro-Ro…jeansmith1jeansmith8

Rachel (left) came to visit from Texas. Laurel and I spent most of our time convincing her why she should move to Michigan.
