collaboration or else

my husband kinda sorta put me in a corner.....but it was all for love. he owns his own design firm in spokane, nystrom, olson, collins, and asked me to photograph his first residential project. which by the way is amazing. so proud.....anyway, i thought it was too much too soon for me. when it came down to crunch time, even though i clearly said "i'm not your gal" he had me shoot the property. all is well and in the end it was a privilege to photograph his work. its always good to reach out of your comfort zone.....right?!? check it out, don't you want to live there?

catching up

times are busy, i know everyone is feeling it. i have been having a great season of meeting new clients and getting to see how much the ones from the past have grown. i love that part of my job! thanks to all.....

pregnancy in 2007

this mama is due in four weeks, wow! her husband was so great and i saw a very hands-on-dad in his baby's future. he couldn't have been more attentive and helpful during our time together. congratulations melissa and matt, you two are going to be great parents!

elle

elle is becoming quite the young lady, i will never get tired of taking her photo. this spot has been in the corner of my eye for the longest time and yesterday we made a halting screech in the car on our way home. i said "lets take your picture" she said "its been awhile!" sometimes i get wrapped up in my work and let time go by without snapping a few for our own archives.

the boys

these two little guys are two of the cutest out there! it is so fun having them in my life. ronni and i go way back.......early 80's. we knew each other before we eventually ended up collins women. that is spokane for ya and that is the beauty of this place. the boys are great and i love their spark. thx for watching mine ronni, now if i could only get other clients to watch my kids that would make my job a piece of cake!!!!
