The “G” Family : Moses Lake Portrait Photographer

Posted in Children, Families

Stand back because this is going to be a ginormous photo post. I couldn’t narrow down my choices, so I figure I’ll just post a bunch.

What a fun, fun family I had the honor of photographing. They laughed and joked the entire time. The weather was just perfect too, especially for this time of year when it’s usually so overcast and dreary in Moses Lake. This session was special because I also got to photograph the two girl’s grandparents as well. What a sweet and tender relationship they share. Thanks so much for letting me be there to capture that.

Don’t forget about the new blog comment contest too! Ten different comments wins you a free 8×12. Get 20 comments and you’ll get upgraded to a 12×18 print. Nothing is cooler than free!

The new blog design is fabulous, Sandy! Love the galleries as well. Can’t wait to see all the gorgeous light and beautiful moments in 2010!

Sandy Summers Russell - February 6, 2010 - 8:36 pm

Hey thanks! I’m excited to see what this year brings too. I think that’s my favorite part about being a photographer. When you wake up in the morning you never know what will have been created by the time you go to sleep. How cool is that!

Kimberly Fetrow - February 8, 2010 - 2:36 pm

Beautiful. Truly Beautiful. LOVE it. Wonderful images, patterns and colors.

Welcome Baby Camille : Prosser Newborn Photography

Posted in Newborns Tags: Newborns, Prosser

Sweet baby Camille you are just as pretty as your name. What a joy it was photographing this beautiful new family. I was also super excited to find out that Camille’s parents, Amy and Jon, are former Midwesterners like myself. They’re from Iowa and Kansas respectively while I’m from Nebraska. We got to compare bad weather stories from back home and lament about how dusty it is here in eastern Washington. But unlike this flatlander, they actually know how to ski. I’m so jealous!

Enjoy the photos! I think my favorite is the first one…no wait, maybe the last one; those bee stung lips are to die for! Oh I just can’t decide. I like them all!

Shaysta: Moses Lake Senior Photography

Posted in Seniors Tags: Moses Lake, Senior Photography

Meet ShaystaMoon. This lovely Moses Lake High School senior is just about one of the coolest teenagers I’ve met. I’m doing my typical chatting a mile a minute to get to know her while I take her senior pictures. “So Shaysta,” I ask. “What do you like to do for fun? What’s your hobby?” Here I’m expecting the typical sports or general hobby response. But no, not miss Shaysta.

“I like to weld,” she responds casually.

What!? That’s just about the coolest response I’ve gotten to date. That’s awesome! She’s making a giant flying metal pig for her Senior Project. Now that, is something I have to see.

Anyway, this was just a quick photo shoot so she’d have a picture in time for the yearbook deadline. This spring we are going to tear it up for her full Summerland Photography Senior Session. Stay tuned. Maybe I’ll make her bring her welding gear. Now that would be something to see.
