Family Camp 2008

A couple weeks ago we had our annual family camp trip to the Black Hills. It is always so much fun to get everyone together since we are all kind of spread out across the country, there isn't always times when we can ALL get together. We had a blast like usual, and I wanted to share a few pictures from the fun weekend.


This was on our hike up the Devils Bathtub. It was so gorgeous!! It basically is a bunch of waterfalls into these deep pools. Apparently people use the rocks as water slides, we were not that adventurous.

gotta have arts and craft time with grandma and the kids :)

We celebrated Trinity's 3rd birthday and of course Tavin has to be right up in the mix. I think he blew out her candles for her, so we had to do it again :)

One BIG HAPPY family!!

My brother-in-law Casey brought along some fresh tuna that he ordered in fresh from the ocean. I never knew you could do that, and have it over nighted to you. Anyway, my mom has never had fresh tuna, so she decided to take a whole dot of the wasabi sauce and she quickly figured out how HOT it really is, that was her face after she put it in her mouth.
Tavin and Luke were practicing their flying skills.
A random sunflower in my parents trees. This one is for you mom, i know you love these things.

Andrew and krista brought along a bunch of games for the kids, and here they are playing a little badminton.

Girls Just wanna have fun

A few weeks ago I got the chance to photograph these two lil' cutie pies. They don't look anything like sisters, do they? :) We had a blast, and I just love all the expressions that I captured. So much fun!!

this picture is probably one of my favorites from the day :)

Welcome Baby Henry

Last week my friend Jamie and I got the chance to photography baby Henry at only 6 days old. I feel like you always get the best newborn pictures within the first week because they usually sleep the whole time, and they are used to being balled up, so they usually let you fold them and place them, and Henry was no exception. He was the perfect model, and he didn't even have an accident, so impressed. We met Henry's parents at a wedding we did, and they graciously let us use Henry as a model. I am working on some new baby announcements and needed some updated pictures of newborns within the first week, so I was thrilled to be able to capture some fun shots. (if anyone out there knows someone who is having a baby, send them my way because I still need a few more models) Thanks again Ryan and Lindsay, and Congrats on your new bundle of Love!! You two are going to be awesome parents :)

Isn't he just a lil' peanut

This chair was in his room. Lindsay used to have it in her room, her mom made it for her awhile back, and now Henry gets to have it in his room. It is a jungle theme, and sooo cute!!

How can you not SMILE when you look at this picture. LOVE IT!!

Here is a sample of one of the new announcements.
