I’ve missed my boss!

Pam_21I love Pam! Pam was my boss while I worked as a dietitian at Banner Baywood Heart Hospital. It is hard to believe we actually worked together for 5 years! Pam is such an incredible person. She has always been supportive of me not just in my growth in my career as a dietitian but even in my photography endeavors. Pam was one of the first people who let me photograph their family. Brave woman!

I still remember the knot in my stomach as I walked in her office to announce that I was leaving. It was awful! I didn’t want to let her down, she had been such a great mentor and I loved my job there but I just had to leave and try new things. As I should have expected, Pam was so gracious and while I know she was disappointed I was leaving she was once again incredibly supportive.

I was so happy to see her last week for some quick family portraits. Seeing how much her kids have grown makes me feel so old!

She has three gorgeous kids:

And Kendall deserves his own awesome portrait for putting up with all the girls during the shoot:

Haas Family

You might recognize Abbey from my website. We got together for portraits during the summer and had so much fun! I was excited when Christy called me again, this time for some family photos. It was fun to meet the other half that helped create all the cuteness :)
Look at her eyes! Absolutely no photoshop, this is really how gorgeous her eyes are:

Love this one:

Thanks, guys! I hope you had fun on the Polar Express!

Isn’t she stunning? Gisele has been married to Mark for almost a year but she really wanted to have a “trash the dress” session. I wish they had a better name for these sessions. We didn’t trash her dress, we just had a lot of fun with it!
It was over 100 degrees during this session and we went out in the middle of the afternoon. She was such a trooper though!
First we stopped at this little church for some shade:
Then we found a really cool Old West bar for some much needed refreshments and met some really cool people. This is Andy:

And this is “Nasty Nick”:
And these are his boots: Back outside for some more hot fun:



Gisele, you are stunning! Thank you for being so much fun and just going along with all my craziness. I had a blast! I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos!

I AM … always trying to be better
I WANT… to have an amazing photography business
I HAVE … faith
I KEEP … my family and my friends in my heart
I WISH I COULD … be in two places at the same time
I HATE … the word hate
I FEAR … losing the people I love
I HEAR … the rain falling right now and I LOVE it
I DON’T THINK … I should have had that second ice cream bar
I REGRET … not always telling people they’ve hurt me
I LOVE … too many things to type…
I AM NOT … sure how to answer this one
I DANCE … not as often as I would like to or used to
I SING … more often than I should
I NEVER … can go to sleep without brushing my teeth
I RARELY … go to sleep when I should
I CRY WHEN I WATCH … almost anything – even commercials
I AM NOT ALWAYS … patient
I HATE THAT … I have to wait for things
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … reality t.v. 
I NEED … to get my butt to the gym – literally
I SHOULD … go to sleep now
