Emily & Lucas

I met the Amundson family about six months ago when I was asking for models for free sessions so I could try out some new looks and ideas. Lucas posed as my Vintage Traveler and was so cute with his little chuckiness. Well...the little man is now a big ONE YEAR OLD! Mom contacted me about taking some pics of him and sister, Emily, at their grandparents' house. It was a cold evening so we did them fast but we got some great shots. Check them out!















Makayla - 4 years old

I've photographed Makayla a couple times before, but now that she's FOUR, she's such a ham and really jazzes up her sessions. I met up with her and mom, Christina, on a cold cold afternoon. We did a quick session and Makayla was a real trooper. It wasn't originally planned, but with the chilliness, she ended up wearing her coat for a few -- and those ended up being my favorite shots!

Maddie - 3 years old

I met Maddie briefly about 6 months ago when we took a couple pictures with her cousin Elliott. She was not overly impressed with me -- she pretty much didn't want to have anything to do with me. So I wasn't sure what to expect when her Mom asked me to take her 3-year pictures. I showed up and it was like she was my best friend! She was so excited to have her pictures taken and did exactly what I asked her to do. Thinking Mom might have a future model on her hands!!


















Taylor - Class of 2012

I met Taylor's family last year when I photographed her brother's senior session. Now it's Taylor's turn! She will be graduating this spring from West Salem. We had attempted to do pics a few weeks ago but the weather had other plans and decided to rain on us. I was nervous that we would get rained out again, but the clouds went away and we met up in WS for her session on a gorgeous afternoon. Taylor has these GORGEOUS blue eyes and AMAZING red hair that I was completely jealous of. She was so easy-going and will do stand, sit, and lay down pretty much wherever I asked of her, which always makes my job easier. I wish her nothing but the best in her last year of high school and everything the future has in store!
