Stefanie & Tyler | Maternity

After this session I'm pretty sure I love maternity shoots! Stefanie & Tyler are such a nice couple and I really enjoyed getting to know them. Stefanie had really creative ideas for the shoot & it made it even more fun for me. It was hard to choose just a couple, but I think these are among my favorites.

New Toy Alert: 100mm f/2.8L Macro

Today we became the proud owners of Canon's 100mm Macro lens (f/2.8L). Having added the 50mm back in December we now have two Prime lenses in our arsenal.

The 100mm is often used for taking close-up shots with stunning clarity and detail. This is an excelent lens to use when photographing the bride & grooms wedding rings & also useful in capturing details on the wedding cake. I've included a couple of pictures shown below, one of Kira's eye and the other our wedding rings. This camera is no one trick pony, however, as it also makes a great portrait camera and will also be useful during ceremonies, receptions, etc.

Lashes by Leslie | eye lash extensions

I've heard great things about eye lash extensions & I absolutely love seeing them on brides so I decided to give them a try. So far they're wonderful! It's nice to wake up in the morning & look beautiful before you even apply make-up. You might as well throw out the mascara because once you try these you'll be hooked. The lashes generally last 6-8 weeks & it's recommended that you get a fill every 3-4 weeks. It's a simple & low maintenance way to enhance your appearance.

I would highly recommend getting lash extensions for your wedding day, they look great in photos.

Central Washington Bridal Show 2012

The 2012 Central Washington Bridal show, and unofficial start to the 2012 wedding season, was held yesterday at the Yakima Convention Center in downtown Yakima. Featuring nearly 70 of the Yakima Valley’s finest wedding vendors the show offered a one stop shopping experience for hundreds of brides (and grooms).
New this year the show was held at the Convention Center and the comments from vendors and brides alike were overwhelmingly positive (from a photographers perspective, the lighting was much better). Another new feature this year was the fashion show. There were two shows, one at 3:00 pm and the other at 4:00 pm, and by 2:30 the line to get in was already several hundred feet long. Suffice it to say the show was a rousing success and the buzz generated from it substantial.
Below is a sampling of pictures from the Bridal show.

Christmas Crafts & Family

Wow, It's been a while since I've blogged! Life is hectic sometimes so that makes it hard to keep up an online presence. We just moved into a new house a few weeks ago & I've been so excited to be able to decorate for Christmas. We don't own a lot of Christmas decorations though & while I plan to do some after Christmas shopping to stock up for next year that leaves this year without much to decorate with; so I decided to make some of my own. After a couple of crafting sessions with friends I finally finished some button ornaments. I totally love these, they are so simple & add a lot of fun to the tree. We also FINALLY took a family picture. Believe it or not, we only have a couple of all three of us. I can't wait until spring so we can take some outside but for now the indoor pictures in front of the Christmas tree will have to do.

Ornament Instructions: I used two pieces of wire to put the buttons on. After you get a long stack of buttons going wrap it around in a circle wind the wire together. Then tie a piece of ribbon on & make a bow! Simple:)

Aaron & April

April & Aaron were married in their own back yard:) They had just purchased a house out in the country & it came with quite a bit of land that was beautifully landscaped & lined with big tall trees; It was the perfect place to get married! I seriously think they should turn it into a wedding venue:)

Cameron & I had so much fun with the bride & groom, they were so laid back, easy going & totally in love. The wedding was really well organized & I could tell that a lot of thought went into every detail. We wish you the best & hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
