Assignment- Light

What better time to show off my crazy father's Christmas lights, then now?? My Dad starts putting up lights on Labor Day weekend, and doesn't stop until the first or second weekend of December. He is very proud of his house, and I am sure would be pretty psyched about me using it as an assignment. :)

The full deal
His running stream into the lake complete with ducks and deer taking a drink :)

Assignment- Symbolic

When I think of our beautiful city of Snoqualmie, there are usually two things that always come to mind. The gorgeous view of Mt. Si, and our historic trains downtown. So, that is what I choose to take this week. :)

Christmas Card

I absolutely love designing announcements and cards now! I am still learning, but I am having a ton of fun! :) I thought that I would share the card that I designed for our family for Christmas! I hope that you like it!

Assignment- Thankful

There is so much that I am thankful for, it was difficult to narrow it down to just a few. But, here are some of my top choices! :)

I am so thankful for my happy and healthy boys, and that I have a husband who is actively involved! :)
I am thankful that we have become a family, and that we have a warm and safe home to raise our children in.
I am thankful for my heritage, and family. This is one of my favorite places in the whole world, in Portage Utah. It was my grandparents home, before they passed. My great-great grandfather helped found this town with the early Mormon settlers, which I never knew about until I was baptised myself when I was 20 years old.
And, I am thankful for all of Heavenly Father's creations. The beauties that are around us everyday, especially the little tender mercies that we tend to miss. I love how beautiful this earth is, and I always find myslef wanting to photograph everything around me!!

Assignment- Three

My three men! Dylan and Lucas playing around with Daddy.

Assignment- Spooky

I know this is a little late, but I thought I would give it a shot. I know that this isn't very "spooky" in the Halloween sense of the word, but is about as good as I can get at the moment. :) I love the water droplets! And I really enjoyed this picture because they magnified the veins in the leaf.

Assignment- Fall Leaves

When my mom and I were on our walk the other day, we found this GORGEOUS tree, with all sorts of colors! I had a ton of fun photographing these beautiful leaves.

Assignment- Fall Colors

This was really fun for me to play around with this week. Teage' s family was in town and staying with us this weekend, so we took a little trip to the falls where I was able to catch some neat shots that were a little unexpected. :) Let me know what version you like better...

And then this one....which actually looked rather plain, until I focused more on the coloring.

Another shot at Triptych

Something fun I put together today.....gotta love photoshop! :)

Assignment- Falling

I took some senior pictures the other day of this girl named Nicole. She was a great sport as we were doing some water shots, but she almost fell right in on this one! :)

Assignment- Triptych

So....a little late, as usual for me! :) But, I thought I would take a stab at the assignment for last week. I call it "The Garden"

Assignment- Excitement

I know that this is a little late, but I just found these pictures, and thought that they would be perfect! :)

Excitement is being a grandmother! :)

My little friend Sofia, dancing to her favorite song! :)

Assignment- Single

The last rose in my stepmom's garden that is still beautiful this season. :)

Birth Announcement

Hi everyone! I wanted to share the announcement that I designed the other day. I couldn't find any twin announcements, so I decided to try to do one myself. What do you think?

PS- I wish that I could have gone on the outing with all of you. I hope that I will be able to sometime soon! :)

My boys are so much fun!

I have had a blast taking pictures of the boys so far. I haven't done much in terms of being creative, but all the candids are a so much fun!

Family Reel

Another fun thing to do with photoshop. :) We took some family pictures the other day, and these were some of the results. I know that the middle one has Lucas a little cut off, but it is one of the only ones where Teage and I both look decent. :)

The boys

Hi everyone....sorry this has been so late in coming. I have no time to myself at the moment, and literally have only about five minutes every day to check my email. But, I wanted to share some pictures that we have taken of the boys since they have been home. They are almost six weeks already, which is crazy!! :) Thank you for all of your patience, and generosity and prayers for us!

Just for fun!

Flip Assignment

I wasn't quite sure what to do for this project....so, this is a pic of our Japanese maple out in the front. One focused on the tree, and one focused on the ground behind it. Just thought it might be interesting. :)

Those Crazy Kids!

Teage and our best friends' daughter, Madison, a few weeks ago. I couldn't resist! :)
