Pre-Deployment Family Portraits – OpLove [C Family]

Wednesday, December 26, 2012 5:55 pm

I was so happy to be able to fit this family in for this OpLoves session before daddy headed out on deployment. Being here in Oak Harbor, it’s a very familiar site to see moms and/or dads leave on deployment. And it’s always tough around the holidays. Being a military wife myself, I know how hard it is to play both roles in the home, keep up with kids’ homework, taking out the trash, paying all the bills and everything else in between and beyond. It’s a tough role, but one that I know I was born for and freely welcome when the time comes. It’s hard on all of us, but I am so grateful to these men and women who sacrifice their time with their families and guard their posts while we sleep soundly! Thank you so much to this family for your service!

Limited Edition “Sprinkled With Snow” Mini Sessions

Sunday, December 16, 2012 8:39 pm

I have been putting off showing this sneak peek because I wanted to make sure everyone’s Christmas Cards had been sent. I didn’t want to spoil any surprises for their friends and family members. These sessions were done back in the beginning of November. Our original set design was not working so we had to go to plan B; which was a simple, but bright & merry set. Due to the set not design not working in our favor, it took longer to get the promotion out and so we didn’t have as much participation as previous years. But it was fun nonetheless. We enjoyed giving away a free session and had fun playing with the kids. THANK YOU to everyone who participated. We already have next year’s set planned and prepped, so no late promo announcements next time!

Nicole Wilson - I am going to sound like everyone else, but I love the colors. Sometimes it’s nice to change things up and play with the color.

A Gift for The Holidays: Twins

Wednesday, December 12, 2012 12:34 am

This brother & sister duo came in at about 4 weeks old. And in normal twin fashion, as one slept the other was wide awake. As one was mellow and cooperative the other was stretching and and wouldn’t sit still. But we snuggled and wait, and well, I even got pee’d on. I can’t remember which one of those little cuties did it. But, I am just grateful that I decided to move from where I laid my camera. To see one more adorable image of these two, click HERE to visit my Facebook page.
