This awesome family purchased my donation gift certificate from the SafeHaven Diamonds and Dice fundraiser and I'm SO glad that they did! It was no surprise that they brought their sweet 4-legged family member along to the shoot as well. Thank you for a HILARIOUS afternoon, McDonald family! You guys are crazy-hilarious and I really enjoyed getting to spend an afternoon with you!
South Albany Class of 2014! Make sure to chat up Karah-Maree for discounts on your senior portraits! In case you can't tell from the photos, she's crazy-fun to hang out with! :)
I LOVE it when you bring friends/family along to your shoot. I'm a, 'The more, the merrier' kind of girl. And since you're having fun with us, you're gonna get your photo taken. Because life (especially the photo part) is about preserving memories. ...And I've never met a mom with too many mother-daughter photos. :) 
If I gave out prizes for fun and silly, these girls would have won the trophy for sure! I had a hard time holding my camera steady. MUCH laughter and many fits of giggles happened. 
Normally, I discourage "bunny ears." (below) But for these two, exceptions had to be made. 
Please join me in welcoming home - the father of Marcus, Emma, & Liam - the husband of the wonderful Amy - WELCOME HOME NATHAN! We appreciate your service!
Nathan has spent the past year overseas as First Lieutenant (1LT) Nathan Christensen, first platoon (rogue platoon) leader, Force Protection OIC (Officer in charge). If you think that's a mouthful to say, think about the reality of the role. Big stuff.
While Nathan has been overseas, I've had the pleasure of getting to know his people at home. His wife, Amy, is the FRG (Family Readiness Group) leader for the 1186 MP. She does an AMAZING job of bringing the ladies of the 1186 together; they're an amazing support group for each other. (They are also super-fun to hang out with!!).
Marcus, Emma (my name buddy), and Liam are some of the coolest kids ever. I LOVED getting to see them with their dad, enjoying some quality family time.
THANK YOU CHRISTENSEN FAMILY for your service and for your friendship. You guys are AWESOME and I love spending time with you!
