Sweetie brother and sister {Alaska child photographer}

I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful family a couple of weeks ago! I already knew Gunnar from a previous session and it was nice to see him again... he sure has grown! Miss M was celebrating her 2nd birthday so we took some great shots to capture the occasion! I can never pick my favorites... it's too hard!

My little apple {Alaska child portraits}

Let me preface by saying "Mom, this post is for you. I know you are reading and I thought you would like A's outfit hahaha!"

Second, I think I have a thing for red apples. Here is Aubrey one year ago in her cute little knit apple hat. This was my favorite photo of her for a loooong time! And now she is so big... stomping all around and actually has a bit of hair for some clippies!

Love her...

It seems like lately my focus has been drawn to capturing the little things in my day to day life. At my office we have these two pepper plants right next to my desk. We aren't exactly sure what kind of peppers they are, only that they are not spicy. My dad always picks them as soon as he sees them and so this one we have decided to let it grooooow and see what happens! Any takers on what kind of pepper?

A new hat! {Anchorage, AK baby photographer}

I made this cute little plum hat for my friend's baby last week! I loved it so much I made another for my arsenal of baby hats. You also get to see it in action since I took a few photos of the new baby this past weekend!

Before Luke headed back to work, we took the kidlets to Kincaid for a bit to play. It was such a nice day out which made for a lot of fun... but not the best photos since everyone is squinting haha! Luke mentioned that he had been taking the kids there a lot while I am at work which I thought was sweet, getting in their daddy time! When I was taking this first photo, I thought "Aww Aubrey is picking some little dandelion flowers how girly" and then she proceeded to immediately rip them to shreds and discard the empty little bud. She is Luke's child... not mine. Hahaha!

P.S: I think Luke needs another lecture on including me in some photos sometimes! I haven't been in any in AGES. The kids are going to grow up and wonder where the heck I was!

My best friend had a BABY! {Anchorage newborn photographer}

My friend Amber had her third baby - first baby girl! - last week and I ran off to the hospital because I couldn't resist snapping a few photos, don't you just love that yummy hospital window light!? ha! Welcome Isla Simone!

I took this photo yesterday at the bluff by my in law's house. I have always loved how those benches are placed. Some day, I would like to just sit there at dusk and just relaaax. I remember when we were teenagers, my husband and I huffed down the hill and stomped around for awhile. I have another photo around here somewhere from years ago, it was winter and foggy and I sat in the car while he walked out to the edge for a look. I whipped out my disposable camera and shot through the window glass and the image was absolutely perfect. I need to get that out and post it!

My latest kick has been making memory boxes.... here are two I made - one for each of my loves! :)

Has anyone started thinking about fall yet? {Alaska Family Portraits}

I have! I can't wait for the beautiful colors and the crisp air! I have so many ideas, full pettiskirts and knit hats for little girls, piles of leaves for the boys... oh the anticipation! I am also working on some family specials so give me a call if you would like to schedule a session!
