Summer is the season for most of my family sessions.  I’ve had fun this last week shooting some children that I’ve been photographing for years now.  I love seeing these little people grow.  Saturday I was in Pasco at the beautiful  Promise garden  http://www.promise-garden.com/index.html with Miss K and her little sister Miss I. We knew it was going to be hot so we started early, but I think by 9:00am it was 90+ degrees so we tried to stay in the shade.  Even with the heat these beautiful girls had smiles for me most of our session.  My wonderful Sister Lori was there to help.  Thank you Lori!

This next session were Brothers from Moses Lake.  I’ve been photographing Mr. N and Mr. D since they were newborns.  I love this family, with most of my clients I enjoy the friendships that develop when I work with them.  Fortunately we had beautiful weather on the evening we shot this session, it was a few days before the heat wave.  My Daughter Kait assisted with this session and fell in love with little D.

I just wanted to share a few of my favorites from my second session with my son yesterday.

Family is everything in this life and in the next.  Today a dear friend of ours past away.  I will miss Tami. My love goes out to her family at this time.  Its during times like these that we turn our thoughts to our own lives and families and hold each other a little tighter and tell each other how much we love them more often. Ben is my second son and he’ll soon be leaving on a two year Mission.  I’m wanting to spend as much time as I can with him until he leaves on June 18th so today we went out and had a little quality time together and took a few pictures.  This was something I’ve been wanting to do for some time now since I didn’t get a chance to take senior pictures of him last year.  I know, shame on me for not getting this done for my son his senior year but I wasn’t the only one to blame.  I think every time I wanted to do it he had a different reason why it wasn’t a good time.  Here are a few of the images we took today and he’s promised we can do a few more later this week.
