Wacky Williams Wednesday : Intellect

 As my oldest is learning to read, I had to laugh at this one.... His favorite books are the easiest ones (memorized, I'm sure) and I'm starting to hope he gets interest in some new books.  This idea just had to reflect that Cadence is ready to move on as well.  Enjoy!

Nick & Wren : Engaged

Ever hear about someone getting married and think, NO WAY!  They are too little!?  Well, that's my little Wren.  I remember helping train one of Wren's first horses when she was about 10 years old and how proud she was when she showed up at my house to show me her ribbons after 4-H fair.  Well, here she is, all grown up and beautiful!  She's found a wonderful man who treasures her.    She has a heart that love's God and it shows in her lifestyle, actions and desire to serve.  Nick proposed to Wren in Alaska on a mission trip.  I'm super pumped to shoot their wedding this spring!  Congrats guys!

Alden : 2 years old

Alden is the SUPER CUTIE of a couple whose wedding we shot back in 2009!  They now have 2 adorable little boys who you've seen a lot on this blog and will continue to see more of them as they grow.  Alden took a little bit to warm up to me, and then (with the help of grandma) he was all smiles!  And what a cute smile he has!  Enjoy a few of Alden!

WW : Buried in snow

Our second snow of the 2014-2015 winter brought us a wonderful Alberta Clipper.... a nasty storm that came with temps below -10, winds higher than 45 mph, and piled enormous amounts of snow within a few hours.  Clean up from the storm was exhausting, and while I'm a cold hater, it may have made me a bit MORE bitter about winter....only a few days into the winter season..... SO..... Why not have fun when the wind dies down and the sun comes out?  Cadence couldn't resist the chance to bury her big brothers.... sporting her mamma's hat from Farrier school back in 2004.... that's my girl. LOL!  Just to get an idea of the snow depth.... The tree behind Zeke is almost 8 feet tall, and the play set behind them is 6'5", and that's only from 1 storm!  :( oh dear.

Elsie : 6 months

Oh. My. Cuteness.  This little girl is so adorable!  We were blessed to had photographed this couples wedding 5 years ago, and now we get to see them as they raise a family.  Elsie is super loved, and it's always a real treat to see that a child's parents are still so in love!  Can't wait to see the dimples in at 1 year old!

WW : Smokin' hot

For all those of you who don't know me personally, I am a Farrier.  A Farrier is similar to a blacksmith but only works with horses rather than all things forged metal.  I went to school at Pacific Coast Horse Shoeing School 11 years ago this month to learn the trade of horseshoeing.  I really wanted to get a cool photo of me doing my trade since my days may be numbered as I venture into other employments (photography/farming).  What a unique mix we are, eh?  Not often you hear of a photographer that farms and gets dirty nailing shoes on horses feet, huh?  Well, I love my work, and really like all the variety life brings with it.  This image is of me burning in a hot shoe on my horse Dakota this winter.  Some of the smoke is from the shoe, and the rest is probably our breath at 18 degrees outside.  Thus the adorable coveralls! :) LOL!  Thanks to my dad, and hubby for help with the shoot, and to my mom for watching my children :)  

This is an HDR image (High Dynamic Range) which allows the details in the shadows to become pronounced, and the highlights to keep information.  I used 2 speedlights and a Paul C. Buff light.  Thanks for looking!

WW : Celebrate!

Happy Birthday to a 7 year old who brightens our lives and keeps us in check!  Zeke was 7 yesterday!  I know everyone says it, but I really cannot believe it's been 7 years that I've been a mom... How come the 4 years in High school seemed to NEVER end, but 7 years of motherhood went by in a snap!?!?  Well, we'd like to have some fun with silly string for our wacky photo, because really, what makes a celebration better?

Happy Birthday Big guy!  We Love you!  xoxoxo

Chris & Kaitlyn : Engaged!

What an awesome couple!  Chris and Kaitlyn are super musically talented young folks that bless our church with an amazing worship experience.  Chris had such a cool proposal that it made the local news!  He painted a large tarp with the question and they went up in a plane to circle around the tarp laid in a field.... sooooo cool.  Enjoy a few teasers of Chris and Kaitlyn's Engagement session!  This couple is STYLIN'!
