A belated Happy Halloween to you all! It was another great night full of little goblins and ghouls ready for tricks, treats and pics at my Halloween Photo Spook Booth. Halloween has always been a favorite holiday of mine, and last year I thought - what the hey - it'll be fun to do this for all the little kids that come by my house on Halloween night. It was a great success last year, and such a fun time this year as well. I noticed there were a few returning trick-or-treaters from last year (I heard one boy shout, "This is the photo house! She's a photo god!" Thank you, mystery boy - that made my night!) as well as lots of new kids armed ...

Nature’s Paint Palette – {Wordless Wednesday}
I love color unabashedly. If you follow my work, it's probably fairly obvious how much I love color. I love it even more so when it grows wild and oh-so-incredibly-beautifully. Seriously - it's amazing what our world gives us to feast our eyes upon. So, today's Wordless Wednesday comes from a recent mountaintop stroll of mine: {Nature's Paint Palette - A Study in Wildflowers} On the docket: weddings and engagement sessions! Yippee! Cheers! -Kristine ...
Everybody Needs A Little Sun – {Wordless Wednesday}

Parents! – {Wordless Wednesday}

Happy Mother’s Day, Mamas!
Happy Mother's Day to all you mamas out there! I truly believe mother's day should be every day since our mothers do so very much for all of us. I know my mom is certainly one of them that deserves recognition every day. So, I'm going to keep this short and sweet and give a big shout out to my mom: I love you, Mom! Thanks for each and every thing you do, big and small. Thanks for helping me grow into the woman I am today. Thank you for your unconditional love and support. Thank you for always believing in me. Thank you for being one of the kindest, most caring people I know. Thank you for giving some of the best mom hugs around. Thank you ...

Jumping Quail! – {Wordless Wednesday}
I headed over to Portland the other day for a working vacation and on my way there, stopped in Spokane to visit my most wonderful grandparents. They're avid birders and were showing me the little quail crew that comes near their house for a visit each morning and evening. Quail, in my opinion, are already pretty funny, so this photo just makes me laugh even more than usual.... Jumping Quail! I know that was a lot of words for a "Wordless Wednesday" post, but I wanted to give a bit of background. Plus, I was an English major back in the day.... :) On the docket: engagement and portrait sessions, as soon as I get over this cold I've ...
