all the way from Seattle!

Meet Chelsea...a smart, gorgeous girl ready to graduate this year...2010 and head into Anthropology!  She has a bright future ahead and proved just what a tough cookie she was for her senior photos...it was about 20 degrees outside and she is still smiling...and pulled off that she didn’t look cold.  Chelsea, thanks for a great time and keeping your smile in place and teeth unchattered :).  I hope you like your shots as much as I do!  Congratulations & Best Wishes for the next chapter of your life.

PS...you can see more of your shots under Seniors...

Sledding Fun

Way too much fun!  It was a sunny (well sunny enough day) outside and we had to give the sled a shot :).  Morgan was such a happy girl leaning over the side trying to play with the snow and loved to go fast....but her boots didn’t want to stay on.  So sweet and fun our baby girl!

Love you baby

Mom

Yup we had to try that white stuff out!  Headed home from Xmas breakfast with Santa mom had to make a quick stop to snap some pictures...so so sweet!  

Love you Baby Girl!!

Australia!

So...as some of you may know out there...December was busier than usual for me!  My day job took me on a once in a lifetime adventure...to the land down under.   From a business standpoint. Tons of work.  From a personal standpoint...one word INCREDIBLE.  Toughest part..leaving my peanut.  Best part...coming back.  oh and the gorgeous beaches, awesome sunny skies, tropical weather...and mines.  Mines?  Yup...mining by day...

Talk about jet lag.  It took about 5 hours from Milwaukee to L.A. and another 14 hours from L.A. to Brisbane, AU.  After landing in Brisbane, travel continued to Mackay, AU.  I was so lucky to meet a fellow employee’s family and they were wonderful!  Typically, business trips don’t include time for play, but landing on a Saturday to give us time to recover from the travel...our fantastic hosts...the Sorensen Family...showed off their incredible island.

I was to Whitehaven Beach, Roxborough Park, and WhitSunday Beach...one of the most famous beaches in the world.  Did I mention I was able to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef?!!  Yup, I had to put on a “swimmer suit” covered from head to toe...and looked HOT..I don’t recall the last time I put spandex on..hopefully this Blog will communicate my sarcasm with HOT and Spandex in 1 sentence....there is no such thing people.  I kept hearing JAWS in my mind, thought a jellyfish was lying in wait, and swallowed a TON of salt water.  whew.

These are some amazing pix and some amazing people I met!

This is the longest BLOG entry for me EVER!!  But. it was a trip to Australia.

Boys will be Boys!

Jalon, Tristen, Thomas & little Matthew were a riot!  These 4 cousins have a fun times ahead :).  Special thanks to Jalon...aka “Super Fast” keeping the little ones together....hope you enjoy your jumping pictures.

Beautiful Day & Beautiful Family

Fall is still HERE...unbelievable how lucky to have all these weekends in a row without rain!  I’m knocking on wood. A bit on the cooler side...but the Scoville Family kept smiling :).  I had a great time shooting and Megan & Austin kept me moving!  Hope you enjoy your family photos!

Strolling through the Zoo

Morgan & Dominic enjoyed strolling through the zoo...and so did us parents!  The lion cubs were out and there was even room for us to see them up close and personal :). 

Family Photos

November is certainly more cooperative than October was!!  Dominic had his charmer smile on and it was a pleasure to capture it.  Special thanks to my asst Lauren who for a first timer did a great job keeping this little guy looking up!  Lisa, Joe, Dom....and Bogey...you have such a beautiful family, hope you enjoy the pictures...can’t wait to see them hanging on the walls :)

Engaged!

Woo Woo!  Trav popped the question...and Katie said yes :).   With a new family business venture...plug plug....Ferch’s in Franklin...these two love birds are pretty busy, so I was happy to get a quick Sunday afternoon  for their engagement photos!

Congratulations guys, the Czerniak’s wish you all the best...and FYI...their is a house in the neighborhood...think it has an inground pool...for sale :)

Getting Ready for Baby Armstrong

The morning was gloomy...and pretty chilly...and lack of natural light pushed us outdoors.  The photographer...yes yours truly...was near tears.  Ella & Mom & Dad rolled with it though and we ended up getting some great snaps.  What a little ham that Ella....she is going to be the BEST BIG SISTER!  

I have known Michelle since birth, wow have the days gone by....all the happiness Armstrongs :).

The Bumble Bee & Frog Prince

Our first halloween....and queen bee was as cute as a button :).  Morgan walked...strolled....if you will...around the neighborhood with Mommy & Daddy & Cash!  This year we were invited and had the pleasure to trick or treat with the Duerr’s (Dom is the cute frog prince of course!) & Bruno Family.  Thanks for a great time....the Czerniak’s went home with the Candy...woo woo!!
