Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend some time helping to pick out beautiful frames and finishing touches for two large canvases from this fall portrait session. Needless to say, I can’t wait to see the finished products!

That also reminded me that I hadn’t posted a session since sometime when the craziness of the fall and winter season began! Here’s to catching up! This is a perfect session for me to start off with. These boys are way too handsome and were cracking me up the whole time. They seriously reminded me my little guys the way they interacted with each other. So that means brothers never grow out of teasing and poking, and chasing each other, right? Right!

One of the problems of being a child of a photographer is that you are unfortunately always around whenever mom needs to try something new.  Yes, it’s true, my boys have been photographed way too much and can no longer crack a genuine smile.  And, yes, whenever the camera comes out they practice their entire freak-show face making repertoire for me!  Granted, deep down, I can tell that their goofy little expressions will still be tugging at my heart strings 20 years down the line regardless of all the chaos they create during the moment!

Last week, we set out on one of those beautiful sun-shiny days to track down a field of arctic lupine (one of the reasons I think I moved to Alaska:) and to go on a little hike to the Winner Creek Gorge.  One stubbed toenail, a skinned elbow and a bloody knee later, we returned from the gorge and cruised on over to Chair Five for some much needed pizza.  After our day long adventure I was blessed with two little pint sized sleepers snoring happily all the way home.

Summer flowers are in full bloom right now everywhere you look!  Geraniums, bunch-berry, prickly rose, bluebells and lupine.  Catch them while you can!    Look for a summer portrait session bonus to hit your mailboxes early next week.

Oh, yes! I am still catching up from last Christmas! These three cute kids and their lumbering dog just had to get posted.

Gorgeous Day, gorgeous light, and a nicely typed out note on my car telling me not to park there again or else I would get towed! At least they were polite about it:)

Don’t forget to look for the wolf in sheep’s clothing hiding in the grass.
