The weekend before school let out we piled in and took off for Lake Wenatchee. We went camping up there with a bunch of families from school, enjoyed the beautiful lake, camp fires, tons of food and treats galore. We also got a ridiculous amount of mosquito bites, but that pretty much doesn't matter when you have such a great time. #personal #lifestyle #camping

When your kids are asking what you're doing in the Target parking lot and you have to tell them to hang tight because the light is just right. #personal #lifestyle

The light was just so and we had to water the flowers again, so my big kid let me practice freelensing a bit. She got a little too close for comfort a few times with my lens detached and all, but overall I'm glad I took the risk. #freelensed #personal #lifestyle

Well, nearly a month later and I am getting around to sharing my 4th of July photos on the blog. We went up to Camano Island with my parents, aunt, and some friends and their kids. We spent the days crabbing and the evenings gathered around the fire pit telling stories, drinking wine, roasting marshmallows. Basically it was a little slice of heaven rolled into a few days that went by way too quickly. Here's a little glimpse into the 4th of July. #personal #lifestyle #travel

I happened to be headed back to Moses Lake for the weekend to help celebrate my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary - yes you read that correctly - and I had a session to shoot with an old friend of mine from high school. I absolutely adore Callie and her little boy Jayden. You can tell he has mama wrapped around his tiny, adorable little finger. We had so much fun playing around at Callie's mom's house, looking at the pond, splashing in the water, blowing bubbles, play

I remembered that I had a camera remote (purchased off amazon for a couple buck) tucked away in my bedroom. I had just finished reading a number of books to the littlest one and figured I had better get a photo of us snuggling on her bed and playing in her room. I knew with the remote she would be pretty engaged, so I set the camera up and let her press the button. I ended up with a number of photos that I'm pretty sure I will love forever because they are totally just us

Yeah so I jumped in on the trend. I have to admit, it's pretty fun. Using a prism is hard though...especially when you have a battery grip on your camera and are recovering from major tendonitis in your right hand. Let's just say my arm and especially my wrist were tired after practicing for a little bit. If you haven't tried it, just watch Sam Hurd's tutorials. I bought this prism off Amazon and it does the trick. #personal #prism #366 #lifestyle

His name is Griffey...and we are smitten. Also, I can't believe it's been almost two months since I posted...I guess I was a little busy, or just wasn't feeling the updates. But I'm back now and hope to make it regular! #366 #personal #lifestyle

I mean, they are always getting spoiled by grandparents. New beanie boos to add to the collections. #366 #personal #lifestyle

Art museums are a favorite of mine. Whoever said museums and kids don't mix was full of it. #366 #Seattle #personal #lifestyle
