Welcome Baby Luke!

Happy Graduation!

Cheers to my bad ass friend who kicked PT school’s butt, passed her boards, already has a job, and is one of the kindest people I know!  Presenting Ms. Val Wilkins, DPT.

The Duder turned 6!

Ryan turned 6 today!  I can’t believe how the time has flown.  I miss this kiddo so much – the piggie noises, his giggle, his cuddles, and his crazy imagination!  I couldn’t be home for his birthday since I started school here in St. Louis 2 weeks ago, but I’m always there in spirit.  To celebrate the Duder, I present our beach photo shoot from July because I apparently can’t get photo work done in a timely fashion anymore.

Happy birthday buddy! Auntie Daisy loves you!

View from Whidbey Island

We adventured to Whidbey Island last weekend and stayed at a house with a view of the Olympic Mountains and Useless Bay.  Walking out on the beach, we were able to look back to the East and see the Cascade Mountains as well.  I love the PNW and all its beauty!

Baby Elliott: 10 weeks

Before I move away again, I got to take one last little beach vacation with my Stephanie and her family.  Baby Elliott turned 10 weeks old while we were on Whidbey Island this weekend!  He’s getting so big!

He’s starting to smile! Ok, he might have been dreaming.

This kid loves being naked!

Fingers taste so good!

Beer in a vase the size of my son? Yes, please.

Burtis Boys

These kids.  They’re so much fun. And I’m going to miss them so much, but so glad I got at least one more photo shoot under my belt before I leave.  These little munchkins are growing so fast and I feel so blessed to get to watch them grow up and that they call me Auntie.

Little Boo Boo.

Ryan – 5 1/2 years old.

Goofballs!

Senior Pictures: Emiley

Finally was able to get together with this beauty to knock some photos out before the Inglemoor Vikings volleyball team head to the State tournament.  I’m so proud of all this young lady has accomplished as an athlete and student.  So here’s a favorite to wish her good luck at State!

Engaged: Brandon & Tye

Love is awesome.  These two, awesome.  Mildly uncooperative weather made for a wet but very fun morning in Seattle.  For all of you who thought Seattle was sunshine and rainbows after the amazing summer we had, here’s proof of grey skies and rain and us crazies who go play in it no matter what.

Brandon and Tye were engaged in August while on vacation in Hawaii.  A couple of weeks before they left, we were at a family party and I may have mentioned they were an adorable couple and when they got engaged, I wanted to do their photos – no pressure.  So I was pretty excited when I heard the great news.  Here are a couple of my favorites from the morning.  I’m so glad we had been planning this weekend for months when the article came out this week about the gum wall getting a cleaning this next week.  So along with the colored powder being thrown, a champagne fight, and the rain, we have 20 years worth of gum on a wall.

Wedding Preview: Mrs. & Mrs.

Shelbe and Chauntae got married today!!!  I’ve been waiting a whole year for this since their engagement last fall and these ladies did not disappoint.  The entire day was beautiful from these two lovelies, the venue, hard work and detailing that got put into each piece of the morning.  It stormed hard, and then broke so we still got to go outside to do some photos.  These beauties are amazing, and so in love.  Congratulations my friends!

No peeking!
