One-Day Senior Sale extended to TWO-DAYS!!!

I sent out this mailer a few weeks ago without cross-checking my calendar (silly me!) and realized that May 10th (the "one-day" sale) is actually a Sunday AND Mother's Day! Anywho - for that reason, I am extending the "One-Day Sale" to not only Sunday, but Monday, May 11th as well. To receive 75% off your Senior session fee with no minimum order, please schedule on that day! Please read the flyer for details.

Click HERE for the flyer. If a bigger copy is needed, please email me & I'll send one out :).

**Please call during the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. both days**

ATTN: Kennewick Seniors -

I will be in Kennewick on Friday, June 5th and will be photographing Seniors on Saturday and Sunday with an optional, but recommended meeting (regarding ordering options) on Saturday, June 6th at 8:00 p.m. (location TBD). I only have 10 openings available during this weekend, so be sure to be the first to call during the "One-Day Sale" (starting at 10:00 a.m.!!!!).

"M" Senior Sneak-Peek - Timberline High School

I offer up an auction item for a few schools around town and this is the result of one of them! These guys bought the auction item at Timberline's Auction about a month ago. Since "M" is graduating in a short month, it was time to get the session done!!! He is just a great guy all-around - handsome, athletic, kind.

Enjoy your Sneak-Peek "M", and thanks for helping me break the rules!

"S" Sneak-Peek - Rocky Mountain High

The first time I photographed this young man, he was three years younger. I can hardly believe that he will be graduating from High School next year. TIME FLIES!!! "S" and spent some time at the Shakespeare Festival & near Surprise Valley. It was a WINDY day, but we ended up with some great shots! Thanks for helping me "break the rules" & enjoy your Sneak-Peek!

"S" Family Newborn Sneak-Peek!

This family has been very close to our own for years. The son, "C" and Julius are good good friends and like to get in all sorts of mischief together. The "S" Family was blessed with their second baby - this time a baby girl! She is just beautiful and slept through everything. I think she may have opened her eyes twice :). I just love her!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek, "S" Family and Consider Yourselves Loved...

I Have Been a Naughty Blogger...

Okay, Dear Family, Friends and Clients...I apologize for being a naughty blogger. I have not been blogging like I should - that is a promise that I will get better and post a few times in the next week or so. So sorry :(. I am excited to post some recent sessions, though, so come back and I'll give you something to see!!!

And just because no post is ever complete without photographs, let me share some of a dear friend whom I've known since Kindergarten - yes - Kindergarten. We were meant to be friends throughout our entire life - from the age of five, where I walked in my snowboots ahead of Carolyne in order to make a path for her to walk in her dress shoes to the age of 32 (did I just write that out loud???) sharing in our joys and struggles as Mamas. What a joy it is to have such a friend. I love you, Buddy!!!

He Has Risen, Indeed!!!

Happy Easter, Everyone! I was fortunate to spend it with friends and family I love!!!

I wasn't able to do anything "Easterly" for Julius, but we plan on dying our hard-boiled eggs tomorrow. I am excited for that and I'll post photographs from it as soon as I can!

Here is a great quote to reflect on this awesome day!!!

Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring-time. ~Martin Luther

Well Done, My Good and Faithful Servant



A dear woman I met last fall sadly passed away Friday evening from a long fight with Cancer with her caring family by her side.

Holly was an amazing woman to whom I felt close within the first 5 minutes of us meeting. I was delighted to spend some time with her and Rob in November when I photographed a session for them. You can see their Album HERE. She had a way about her - a "glow" as her cousin calls it. The love of Christ radiated from her. Although I was unfortunate not to know her better, she left an impact on my life, as well as many others because of her unfailing love and faith in the Lord. Although it saddens me that those around her will no longer be graced by her presence, I rejoice because Jesus Christ has freed her from pain and has given her a new body, cancer-free!!!

On Tuesday, just three days before Holly went Home, she did an interview with her hospice provider. Please take a moment to listen to her story. You can find it HERE. You will not finish the interview the same - that is a good thing.

Well done, Holly Faithwalker, My Good and Faithful Servant
