Rollins Family

We loved capturing the Rollins Family this past Sunday. Parker was such a great little man to photograph. The love that Meghan and Keith have for him was evident. They are a beautiful family and we can't wait to meet the little one on the way!

Here is a look into our session:

We are looking forward to showing you the rest!

Klimmek Sisters

What a great idea for a gift for your parents. Megan and Ashley decided to surprise their parents with photos of them for their Christmas present. (She told me they won't see this blog!) Their parents are dealing with an empty nest so the girls wanted to document what is going on in their lives at this time. Megan just finished her work in the Air Force and Ashley is a freshman at San Diego State University. They are stunning women!

Here is a look into our Session this past week:

Thanks Megs and Ashley for letting us capture this time in your lives. Your parents will be so touched!

Pollyanna turns 1

Now, this little girl doesn't help with a woman's baby itch! BEWARE: Abundant cuteness is on this blog. She is our best friend's daughter and is so well behaved. We love her to pieces and were excited to celebrate her 1st birthday this past weekend.

Here are some photos of The Hansen Family this past weekend:

Don't tell me I didn't warn you! She snuggles all day.

Thank you Hansens and enjoy your time in Southern California. Disneyland here they come!!

Little Ones--DooLittle Family

We met the Doolittle family about 2 and a half years ago in our Young Marrieds Bible Study. They had their little girl Delaney a little over 2 months ago. Ben and Tiffany have adapted so well to being new parents and we love seeing their courage in this transition.

Here is a sneak peek into our session with sweet Delaney this Fall morning.

Thank you Doolittles! Looking forward to showing you the rest of them!

The Otto Family

When I think of the Otto family I think of Kelley's vibrant smile, Josh's handy man skills, their love for college students and outreach, and their two beautiful children. They are Campus Crusade staff here in Chico and are great friends. We loved spending the afternoon with them taking their Holiday photos. Here are a few photos from this afternoon!

Thank you Otto Family for letting us be a part of your fun-filled life! We love you!

In Love--Kristen & Dane

Travis and I are so excited to celebrate with Kristen and Dane on their engagement. Kristen and I have known each other for about 4 years now. She is a great girl and she has met her match! They are a beautiful couple and their love for each other was evident. Here are some photos from our Engagement Session this morning!

Save the Date, people. It's going to be good!

Thanks Dane and Kristen, we can't wait to show you the rest!

Your keys are where?!

Okay, I couldn't think of a title for this. So, I just put the first thing that came to my mind. This morning Travis and I were able to do a Portrait Session with four beautiful women. After finishing up at the first location, we were going to drive and have the girls follow us to the next. Well, that didn't happen. Travis had accidentally locked the keys in the car. So, we walked because it was just up the road. Now, onto these beautiful roommates...

Roommates are more like sisters than friends.

Thank you Janae, Amber, Kayla, and Katelyn for letting me capture these sweet times of you as roommates! 

(Oh, and in case you are wondering how we got back into my car- after Travis had gone home to get his keys, he realized that his set of keys were in his backpack...that was IN MY CAR! So, we called our insurance people and they came within 15 minutes and helped us out. Phewww!)

Some Christmas Present Supplies!

Yes, Halloween is over. That means it is time to start thinking about Christmas gifts. I just got some supplies in the mail that will help make my Christmas gifts (mainly to my sisters and sisters in law) very, very cute!!

Visit here to check out all of the wonderful supplies!!

Here is what I got:

Check out this adorable tin that these stamps came in!

I'm obsessed...

  I have been wanting some Baker's Twine or Divine Twine for quite some time now. I got the package of 3 in red, yellow, and green. I'm really looking forward to using them!

 Also got this floral fabric tape. (see below to see what I am planning on using it for!)

 I added these versatile gift bags just to make the purchase over the free shipping amount. Click here to get a better idea of what to do with bags like this:

I plan on using the stamps, Divine Twine, and Fabric Tape to make something similar to this . Side note: If you don't follow Ashley's blog, do it. How cute would those stamps look in a stationery set?!

Going to use the Fabric Tape and Divine Twine to make some cute jars like this one. (scroll to the bottom to see the instructions)

Might also make some cute To-Do Lists like Ashley's , found on her blog!

For more ideas about what to do with Divine Twine and Fabric Tape simply google it!:)...my answer to everything.

Hope this gives you some inspiration to start thinking about Christmas gifts! 

Thanks for following!
