the Gardners

You know when you blink your eyes and all of the sudden kids have grown up? That's what I feel happened with these handsome/beautiful/awesome kids! Chase is preparing to serve an LDS mission so the family asked for some pictures before he leaves. We went out during the "golden hour" and had to joke about it being more like "auburn hour" since the fires in Idaho made the sunset so red. Whatever the "hour", these smiles and the lighting made for some great pictures!

The girls made it look like fun so their dad had to jump in; literally :)

Brittaney

This beautiful Brittaney will be a 2013 graduate! She lives in Iowa and while visiting family here in Washington we went out on a gorgeous evening to take her senior pictures. She enjoys running and already has plans made for after graduation. Good luck with your senior year and all of your running in cross country and track, Brittaney! 

Kelsey

Kelsey will soon be starting her final year of high school! She's vacationing from Iowa to visit family and was able to see a few sunny days before our Washington rain started up again. Luckily, we got our pictures in before the rain started! Have a FUN last year of high school, Kelsey!

Children's Photography: Drollinger Beauties

I met Lisal over a year ago while running in a half marathon race. Her youngest daughter, Emmy, at the time was three months old and has cystic fibrosis. This race we ran in supports CF research; Lisal works with my mother-in-law and a group of them who work together ran in these races and wore the shirt, "Run for Emmy" (I was also given one to wear; which is why Lisal and I met since she noticed me wearing the shirt!) Lisal and I met up again a year later for the same race, this time running the marathon and she asked me to take pictures of her three beauties. We finally got around to it and these girls are SO HAPPY and were so easy to take pictures of! I had a fun time and they shared some pretty cute smiles, thanks girls!
