Birth of my niece "Madelynn Shea Anderson"

Friday June 26th at 12:34pm God blessed us with new niece a 9 pounds 12 ounces 21 inches baby girl named Madelynn Shea Anderson.

There is just nothing I enjoy more than new babies and Maddy's chubby little face will steal your heart right away!

My son Jacob has a real deep love for babies and he was so excited to go up and see Maddy.

I love the look on Patty's face in this picture. You can just see the love for her new niece.









I have always loved the top of babies heads, so kissable.






I have seen my mom hold so many babies with that exact look on her face. It just makes my heart feel good looking at it.






This is how Stephanie chose to spend just one of her many hours in the hospital.







I absolutely love when babies yawn, and Maddy gave me plenty of opportunities to take shots of her yawning.

Just an amazingly beautiful baby.

My Sister's Shoot

I had the pleasure of taking some shots of my sister Paula for her to use for publicity. She works at a large church is LA and she was voted one of "California's Women of the Year" for, in part setting up a shelter during the wild fires in the Porter Ranch area. She is such a strong loving person and I could not be prouder of her.

Paula is so Photogenic and I had a lot of fun taking these shots.

I love this one it shows Paula's happy disposition. I have yet to meet one person that knows her that doesn't love her to death!

Young Moms

Our Family is blessed with 3 Young moms and 3 little ones. I have always loved kids and enjoy every moment that I spend with them.

This is Stephanie and her daughter Peyton. Peyton is the typical little girl she is always talking and is as sweet as she can be.

This is Mariah with her daughter Mollie. Mollie is this tiny beautiful girl that is so expressive and says hi to everyone.

This is Jenn with her mom Camie. Her son Joshua is a joy to be around. He is so cute and loves listening to music and playing air guitar.



I hope these kids grow up knowing how much their loved!!

Pre Mother's Day trip to a Van Lierops Tulip Farm.

This year we had such an amazing Mother's Day weekend. My Sister Paula and Debbie flew in from LA. Debbie is a flower freak and we decided to take her to Van Lierop Farms to see the Tulips. We were a little late to see the full bloom but it was still beautiful and a great place to take some shots.

I love this shot of Jacob I know I am a little bias but I think he is so Photogenic. He is a blessing to have in our life!

The kids love walking around and seeing all the Flowers. Joshua thought that he needed to smell everyone.

This is (from left to right) my sister , Camie, Paula, my mother Euvila, and my other sister Debbie. We are so blessed to have so many great mothers in our family!

Pics of Joe's Cadillac.

I had Joe's car for a couple of days so I thought that I would shoot it. This is in my opinion the last of the great Cadillacs. Powerful V8 and rear wheel drive gives this car that true Cadi feel. The pics are nothing special just a car that I love and wanted to share it.

Both of these were shot with my 50mm set at 1.2, it's amazing to me how small its focus range is.

Still having trouble getiing a good post white balance I guess that will come with time.

I love this Canon 10-22 it is great at interior shots. This cars interior is bigger than some studio apartments.

Seattle in Pictures

These are just some random shots that I enjoy. And yes I know 3 blogs in a day is a lot!

Family in Black and White

This week I really enjoyed messing with some black & white shots. I think it brings the true emotion of the shot out.
