 In a vivid & lush backyard in Vancouver, on one of the hottest days of the year, with family and friends, homemade wine and music,

Jennifer & Rick joined their lives together forever.

Thank you for letting me be a part in portraying  your love story.  {View Jennifer & Ricks Engagement session HERE}

Absolutely LOVED her bouquet! (Made by a family friend)

What makes a fabulous party, even MORE fabulous? LOTS & LOTS of Homemade PIE!!

(The strawberry rhubarb was divine,  I tell you, da’ling …. just divine! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!)

The Z. Family :: {Washington Family Photographer}

{REEL LIFE FAMILY SESSION | VIDEO COMING SOON FOR THIS SESSION!!!}

Our children are here to stay
But our babies are not, I’m sorry to say
They grow and learn everyday
In the most remarkable and intriguing way

We watch and admire our babies so young
Hoping someday they will go to be strong
Wisdom and integrity are a hopeful thought too
Their brilliance is amazing that much is true…

…Cherish the little moments so tender and sweet
They grow so quickly you can barely speak
But remember this, as I reassure you with a tear in my eye
Babies are your children and your children will never say ‘Good Bye’

-Crystal Kaylynn Acerrio

 

If you enjoyed this session, feel free to leave some love below! I’d love to hear from ooyou!

Much love & happiness to you ~Heidi

    Those two are so cute I just want to squish their cheeks!!!

    And Heidi, NO ONE tells a love story like you can. And by that I mean NO ONE!! I don’t understand how so much talent and creativity can all fit in one person!

    Oh and that big picture of the couple sitting in the field with their arms around eatchother took my breath away! I just sat there and stared at it. If I was them I would order that in a GIANT canvas.

  2. Pam on said:

    Absolutely STUNNING wedding photos! They were so blessed to have such a talented photographer capture their beautiful day!!

Grady :: 2012 Senior {Washington Senior Pictures}

Most of us would agree that the days we spent in high school were certainly some of the best days of our lives. It was in school that we made our first friends, competed to excel, learned our first lessons about life, and had great hopes for our futures.

Those four years seemed to last forever at the time… What we would give now to have a summer break!

I absolutely love freeze framing this time in young teens life. I want them to look back on memories and images that express who they really are. To capture a glimpse of real their personalities.

Grady and his family were visiting from Ohio and scheduled a session while they were in town. I had so much fun with this awesome family. Hope you like these!

BONUS :: Grady, if you can rally up 30 comments by Sept 1st 2011, you will receive a FREE 11×14 print of your choice! Good luck! Help Grady out and leave some love!

Check out the schnazzy kicks Grady designed himeslf!

While Grady was changing his outfit, dad tried out the new long board. I love these!

Much love & happiness to you, thanks for stopping by today! ~Heidi

California Cousins Continued…:: Washington Family Photographer

Yesterday I blogged my cousin Erin’s family  & today I am blogging her brother  Jesse’s family. My cousin Jesse and I are alike in SO many ways. A lot of it being that we end our sentences with a laugh, even when it’s not funny. I love him and his sweet, sweet family.

I missed my Cali cousins, and I’m so glad we got to see them this summer, and I finally got to meet these adorable little twinners.

Thanks for coming by today! Your feedback is always appreciated, so don’t forget to leave some love!

Much love & happiness to you.
