That's right, another one!  This time, Sarah provides the commentary to her very own, very personal Trash The Dress session.  She shared the whole story here: Trash The Dress - Fairfield.
Peruse the book, enjoy the sneak peek!  I can't wait to hold this big beautiful book in my hands and turn the pages in person!!

Orting Twins!

A year ago I contributed to a little silent auction my MOPS group was doing.  The package was for a mini-session, set of invitations or holiday cards.  My friend M. won it, but it took us all this time to put it to good use!

M. has 5 year old twins and it was high time for a fun, in-home portrait session!

The sun decided to come out, which provided us with GREAT indoor light!

And these two are each a ball of FUN!

Wait for a future blog post of outtakes! 

These kids rival my own in their energy level. :)

But what eyes these two have.....

And an adorable sibling bond...

Happy 5th Birthday kids!  I loved coming to your home today!

Referral Gifts, Travel Pics

It is time to update the blog!

I'll discuss the Referral Gift program after a few TRAVEL PHOTOS!!!

For two years in a row now, my husband has been in Barcelona, Spain for a week in February.  One year ago I couldn't join him due to an injury and I was very very disappointed.  But this year everything is fine and dandy and there was no reason not to tag along!  Plus I found airfare for just $600!!

So here's a little recap of a week with the camera in Barcelona...

The view of the ceiling at the National Cathedral.

At Park Guell, we fell in love with Gaudi's style of architecture: whimsical, nature reflective and very colorful...

The view from our first hotel was amazing at night! The National Museum of Art was lit up every night.

One day we browsed the Gothic Quarter and stumbled into Placa Reial on accident.

And the lovely Segrada Familia (another Gaudi project) occupied one night and a good portion of the next day..

It was a wonderful week and it was a lot of work to whittle it down to just what I posted on Facebook, Flickr and here!

But now for news on my referral gift program!

Anyone who refers a friend will receive something in return!

For referring a friend for child or family portraits - YOU receive half off your next family or child portrait session.
