Tim, Alana, Jasmine, and Little Simeon

Tim and Alana have become friends of ours this year. They welcomed sweet Simeon into the world two weeks ago. He has olive skin and this wonderfully wavy, dark hair. Every time I see this little one, it looks as though his mother has been fussing over his locks a bit. She assures me that she has not. It's all Simeon!

joel, stacey, and the girls

What a great family... and THREE girls! I can't imagine having three girls. This was a fun shoot. We met at a park in the Valley on Monday and just enjoyed the sun. Thank you, Joel and Stacey. It's been a treat to get to know you all a bit better this week!

parachutes staff

Yesterday, I got to photograph the staff of Parachutes, an Anchorage ministry. The three seem really to enjoy one another - as much friends as they are colleagues. The smiles came quick. It was all so natural. Thanks, Joel, Tim, and Kim!
