I got the sweetest email not tooo long ago. You might remember Aimee & Dan from one of my favorite 2009 weddings, or from their engagement/family session in the summer prior. Either way Aimee, Dan and Ethan are awesome, so when Dan emailed me to ask about a family session this year I was 100% in. You see the traditional first wedding anniversary is celebrated with a “paper” gift, so Dan wanted to give his lovely bride the gift of photos. How cute is that!

So we headed out to the streets of lovely Downtown Sherwood, OR to see what we could find, have some laughs and take some photos. Here are a few of my favorites so far:

It’s been a whole year, and clearly everyone has had a good one. Check them out, even more adorable then ever.

Ethan is a seriously handsome kid, and sweet to boot.

I love the bond between mother and son, especially with these two.

Our love birds, cute as ever.

The whole family.

We also had some silliness you see.

Aimee & Dan thanks again for meeting  up with me and strolling around downtown Sherwood with me. I had a great time hanging out with you all and catching up. You all are the best. And of course you know how I love my comment challenges right, so lets have another one shall we? If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a cute little wallet brag book on the house. That should cover part of the “paper” right. 🙂

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of meeting a new family. They found me through friend of theirs who’s photos I did last year. You might remember these two adorable blond girls.  I knew we were going to have fun if they were friends with the P family, what I did not know was how amazingly beautiful these little blond girls would be. There must be something in the water in Washougal Washington, because wow, they make some beautiful kiddos up there! We lucked into some great weather and a fun time at the local beach. Even the family dog (a cute blond lab of course) got in the mix.

Take a look at a few of my favorites so far.

What did I say, beautiful girls and beautiful family!

We had some fun can you tell.

Meet little sister, her eyes kill me.

Meet big sister, her smile melts me heart.

We even snuck a few in of Mom & Dad being cute. 🙂

Like I said beautiful light, and a lovely family. The beach was amazing that night!

Check her out, girlie knows how to have fun.

🙂

And one last image of the whole family.

Lynn thanks for meeting me and sharing your family for the evening. I had a blast, your girls are so wonderful! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek. I have so much more to show you very soon! Of course as new clients I would love to throw in a blog challenge. How about this, if you can get 25 people to comment on this blog post I will throw in a darling little mini wallet brag book. Perfect for showing off 2 adorable little girls. 🙂 SO leave some love people!
