Rasmussen Sneak-Peek!

The Rasmussen Family = love, compassion, generosity. It seems like I spent many a day at the Rasmussen's house while I was in High School. Sean (the oldest) and I competed in state drama when we were Sophomores at Meridian High School & shared interests in music. Sasha followed, not far behind, with an interest in music as well. I hadn't seen either of them in quite awhile, so it was a real treat to meet up. Sean's been married to the lovely Kendra for 10 years, is it?, and they have two BEAUTIFUL children. Sasha (the youngest) just got married a couple of months ago to an Argentinan woman he met while serving as a missionary in Argentina where they still reside and serve - I'll post a link to their site as soon as it is available. Tom and Lorene (the two beautiful parents) hold a Bible Study that Lumuli and I attend - so I was honored when asked to photograph their annual Portrait Session. Yes, Everyone, ANNUAL Portrait Session...do you see the example they've set for all of us :). I overheard Lorene say, "Thanks, Folks (family) for participating in our 26th annual Photographing Session" - or something to that effect...26 :). Love it! Love you guys - thanks for letting me shoot your 26th :).

Frisby's Newborn Sneak-Peek...

I just photographed Susie's maternity portraits about 5 weeks ago and about two weeks after that, she had precious Olivia Grace. She is just a beautiful little girl and it was an absolute delight to photograph this sweet little family again. Enjoy your sneak-peek, Frisby's!

Look What Lumuli Did For Julius!!!

Awww...I love my family :). Since Julius came into the world about 2 1/2 months early, our good intentions of painting a mural on his wall got put on the back burner. Lumuli's been done with school for about two weeks and he goes back in just a week, so he thought yesterday would be a good time to pull through on his good intentions. This is what he came up with! Isn't it just darling!!! The first time we took Julius in there, he cried, not sure of what happened to his room. But as you can tell from the photographs below, he got used to it. Enjoy!

Jake & Megan's Sneak-Peek!

Jake was visiting here from Virginia, where he is stationed with the Air Force. Megan called me a few weeks ago to get some photographs of the two of them together to tied them over between visits. We spent time at the place they lovingly know as, "The Park With Fish in the Walls", Municple Park.

Jake and Megan, you make a beautiful couple and are so sweet! Thank you so much for letting me share a few moments of your time :). Enjoy your Sneak-Peek!

Laura's Sneak Peek!

Oh, Laura! You are a girl after my own heart - your interests in High School were choir. That's where I was a few years ago ;). For you students who have never tried choir, give it a chance! I'm sure you'll love it.

It was great spending time with Laura and her mom, Colleen. They came to me all the way from Nampa. Laura just purchased a beautiful royal blue VW Jetta *insert green jealousy face here* - we just had to get a shot with it (it's the last one)! She plans on going to Dental Hygiene School in the Spring. Thanks, Laura, for letting me be part of your Senior year. Enjoy your Sneak-Peek!

Shaul Wedding Sneak-Peek!

Do you remember these guys? I posted their engagement shoot a couple of months ago. When Samia told me at their consultation that their wedding would be colorful, they weren't kidding! How in the world am I ever going to want to turn any of these photographs into black and white? I just don't know if I can do it...

There were so many details carried into this wedding - all of the Bridal Party's dresses & jewelery were custom-made in Bangladesh (the Bride's native country) - the Groom gave the Bridal Party the gift of Tully's :) before the wedding - the Henna on their hands represented things close to their heart - everything was planned with such care.

They had their cake done by the incredible Greg Marsh (http://www.marshcakes.com). Their DJ was Brad Rowen of DJ One One (I'll post images of this crazy guy later :) ). The event was held at the Powerhouse. How could they go wrong? The ceremony, bride and groom, guests were all BEAUTIFUL! I will be posting more of the reception as I get to proofing them.

Anyway...enjoy your sneak-peek, Samia & Craig!

Davies Sneak-Peek!

Oh my! What great girls you have...it was such a wonderful priviledge to photograph you and your family. The love that is among the five of you is beautiful! I hope you enjoy your Sneak-Peek as much as I enjoyed taking your family photographs.
