MEET ... Odin (again!)

It is so hard for me to belive Odin is already TWO! I can't wait for the day to watch him and Brax running around playing together! Odin's Mommy is one of my best friends in life and I am so happy to have the chance to photograph Odin as he grows! I love their family so much!

MEET ... The Herrin Family (again!)

Here are the latest pics of the Herrin family! They are such good friends and it is so fun to see their family growing up in front of my camera! Aubrey is talking like crazy and Jack is walking here there and everywhere! I think Michelle was a little shocked at my choice of location, but she ended up really liking it :) It's always better when you SEE the pics after!!!

MEET ... The Balls (again!)

Here are the latest pictures of the Ball family! The kids are growig up SO fast. Hard to believe Connor is already ONE! And it was so cute because Sean told me that Jayden was crying yesterday because she wanted to see me!!! :) How sweet!!!

MEET ... Kyla!

This little cutie is Kyla! We had such a great shoot with her. For only about 3 months old she did great! I love her bright blue eyes! We did some of just her then some with Mom and Dad! Her parents are both goregous and they are just a beautiful family! I am so happy to have done pictures again for them!

MEET ... The Turners (again!)

Here are a few pics I took of the Turner family for their Christmas card this year! As always the girls are too cute for words. What a good looking family!

My new favorite subject

The proud Mommy has to share just one more! I took this of Braxton with the most darling hat we got as a gift .... a new prop for other newborns to use as well!

MEET ... Chaz

This little guy is Braxton's first friend! He was born the day after Braxton :) He also happens to be the son of our friends Jenni and Adam! He was such a great baby and did so well for this photo shoot! Only peed once and barely fussed during a 3-hour shoot! We got so many great shots!!! Thanks, Chaz!

My baby boy!

Here are a few more pics I took of our new baby boy!

Braxton Hunter Kluse is here!

Our little boy made his way into this world on Wednesday 10/28/09 at 1:48am weighing 9 lbs and was 21 inches long! Blake and I are doing great and we couldn't be happier! He is the cutest and best baby in the world! Look for his newborn pictures soon :)

MEET ... Auddie and Nina (again!)

Here are some pics I took of Audrey and Nina! Some last minute fall pictures before all the colors are totally gone! We went to downtown Kennewick and shot around down there, then a field off of Clodfelter where sagebrush actually looked pretty :)

MEET ... The Sanders Family

This family was great! Great looking family, super nice and very easy going! They knew exactly what they were looking for which made my job a piece of cake! We got some really unique and cool pics (see the b&w with only jeans in color!!) and they were so happy! Love to work with families like this :)

MEET ...the Magician and his White Rabbit!

Well, Julianne has out done herself again! As you may recall, she makes her kids' Halloween costumes every year ... and every year they get more and more elaborate and fantastic! This year Bryce is a magician and Morgan is his White Rabbit. I don't think there could be two cuter kids! We took pics at a park today with all the beautiful leaves and they turned out soooo cute! Love you both! Auntie B!

MEET ... the Princesses :)

This was such a fun shoot! I have taken pictures of both of these girls a few times before and this time their mom's wanted pictures in their Halloween costumes! How adorable! They really looked like the princesses they were portraying! We got some cool shots in the corn stalks and in the mustard field! Good luck on Halloween girls; get lots of candy!! :)

MEET ... my new model!

OMG ... OMG ... OMG. This girl is STUNNING. I have taken her family's pictures before and this time it was allll about her! This chicky knows how to work a camera! She's my new practice model that I am going to take around to try out new locations, poses, lighting, etc. She was coming up with as many ideas as I was! It was great and we had so much fun!! Can't wait until next time ... my mind is already creating ideas :)

MEET ... the Janosky family (again)

I'm so glad we were able to make this shoot work! And check out the awesome colors at the Park! The kids did awesome and we got so many great fall shots! Last year we did their pics out on Rebecca's friends farm (you may recall from my blog post about a year back). This family is so fun and we had a great time!

Joelie in the Mustard Fields!

Had to get some of Miss Jo in the field too! I loved the purple against the green and yellow! She's at a great age where she takes direction for posing perfectly---not to mention she's a natural Hannah Montana :) You're a doll, Jo!

Abbey Mae in the Mustard Fields

Here are some of the pics I took for Abbey's 3rd birthday picture! We went to the mustard fields by their house and it was gorgeous! What a perfect day! I can't wait to use this location a couple more times before the yellow goes away! If have a shoot with me in the next week and are interested in switching to this location, let me know!

MEET ... Melissa

Oh my gosh! How photogenic is Melissa?!?! These senior pictures turned out amazing! She is such a natural and was a great poser! She even took me to a new location in south kennewick and the colors were to die for! It was a little hike back in the woods, but well worth it! We got some amazing shots at sunset!!

MEET ... The Noltes (again!)

It's that time of year for the Noltes family picture! And this year they added one more :) Elaine is just as cute as her brother! The shoot went so well ... I just love how coordinated this family is! Some of you may remember the little boy who rocked the white onesie with the John Deer boots a year ago! Can't believe how much he's grown up!

MEET ... Cruz (again!)

Hard to believe that Mr. Cruz is already one! I've been taking pics of him since he was just a couple months old! How cute is that mowhawk of his??? He is always dressed so cute! He was great at this shoot and really enjoyed down by the water! Although he wasn't a fan of getting dirty at first, but he really liked the water!!

MEET ... Michael

Below are some of the pictures I did for Michael's 5th birthday! He had the best smile when I was joking with him, "not to smile!" ... I love how kids genuinely think that's funny! He was such a sport and we were done in no time!! Happy 5th birthday, Michael!

MEET ... The Bateman Family

How cute is this family? I have been friends with Kyle and Mandy for years now and it is so fun to get to spend time with their new daughter Ava! She was such a trooper and didn't fuss one time! I love the one of them holding her hands sitting on the ground below!! How precious!

MEET ... The Krisher Family

Ok I am behind on blogging again! Man 8.5 months pregnant and I feel like I don't have a brain anymore!! :) These are a few from the Krisher family shoot! The kids were soooo cute and so well behaved! I loved their boots and wranglers; what cute cow-kids :)

MEET ... Lucca!

Meet Lucca! She is the neice of one of my friends and Lucca and her parents were here from Seattle and had me take her newborn pictures! She is such a cute, tiny little thing --- only 12 days old!! She did great :)

MEET ... The Hinkson Family

Here are the Hinksons! What a fun family! The boys are soooooo incredible and photogenic and actually don't mind having their picture taken --- how refreshing! I especially love how Anthony brought his guitar; we made it a staple in some of the shots! Had a great time and I am just so happy to have met them all! (PS - congrats are raising two excellent guys!)
