Okay, okay, I admit we’ve been a bit behind on our blogging!  Actually, “a bit” is an understatement!
Our November and December schedule got a bit crazier than expected, therefore, this got put on the back burner.  Long story short, there is no way I’d have time to do my normal blogging on all the shoots we had during those months.

So, instead I’ll do a bit of a review/recap of the past two months…



IT NATION 2011: We started November out with a 4 day destination shoot in Florida.  This is the second year we’ve been hired as the official photographers for IT Nation: Connectwise Partner Summit, held at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek.  With awesome people, evening parties (and I mean parties!), golf, and meeting a live wild alligator (or crocodile, not sure), it was hard to call it “work”, but after 16-18 hours a day for four days straight, we had no problem remembering why it’s called ‘work’!

The Freisen Family: We then had a fun time with the Friesen family (a beautiful family we met at a wedding this past summer) during their family shoot down in Bellingham, and also had the privilege of designing their Christmas cards!

The Zylstra Family: Not only did we take newborn photos of the Harbor, the youngest little one, but Kim, the wife/mom is one of our preferred florists that we recommend to all our bridal clients!  Such a sweet, gorgeous family!  And once again, we had the privilege of designing their Christmas Cards.  Thank you Zylstra Family!

zach + angela [WEDDING]: We LOVED this vintage style wedding! Everything from the colors, to all the handmade hats (made by the bride herself), and to decor! Nothing was ‘traditional’! This wedding was DIY meets ETSY, and definitely reflected who they are… TAKE NOTES EVERYONE!

We were so thrilled to be able to get creative and design a new photographic look to capture the essence of their theme. Thanks again Mr. and Mrs. Cook!!

maddox – [BABY, 3 MONTHS]: Can’t believe maddox is 3 months old already! You may recognize him from his newborn photos we took a few months ago, however, he was just a little peanut then! Can’t wait to watch him grow.

the moxley’s – [MATERNITY]: Absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this photo shoot! Joy wanted some downtown maternity photos taken, which is just our style! And with Joy being only 7 months pregnant, who knew that ‘little’ Emily would be here shortly after! Congratulations Joy and Mark on your little/tiny bundle of joy!

Although we have yet to have any of our glamorous brides wear a “mullet dress”, I do have to admit that I am a HUGE fan of this modern, yet vintage style!

It’s a little bit fun, a little bit sexy, and a lot bit unique!
AND… pair it with a fun set of heels and you’ve got all kinds of fabulous!


not quite a fan yet?…

don’t let the term “mullet dress” deter you….
this just means you get the best of both worlds… long and short!
Trust me, if you decide to ROCK this style, you’ll be a definite fashion statement!


And if you’re still not convinced, then here’s a few more ideas at realsimple.com

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!

You know someone.

You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances.

You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season.  You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone.  We guarantee it.

We want to give them a chance to experience complimentary custom photography.  We are offering a custom portrait photo shoot, along with a proof book of all their images, and a large print credit.
