Aimee and Bryce, Momma and Son. Anchorage, Alaska Photography

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

So as I have decided to consolidate my photography here with my personal posts, I bring you yet another session! Aimee and Bryce are my very good friends. Yes, I am good friends with a 4 year-old. So close, that he has dubbed me the nickname “Wammer Hammer”. When we hung out and took these photos, Aimee was worried that Bryce would be too hyper and not want to “pose” for mommy and son pictures. He was indeed hyper, but we managed to make a game of it and play with him! We picked flowers, threw sticks, had some good ol’ toddler fun. Then when it came time to ask for some smiles and eye contact with the camera…he willingly obliged. See Aimee, I told you it wouldn’t be that hard!


^And THAT, my friends, is how a little boy picks flowers.

Moral of the story is, Aimee is stunning, and Bryce is a handsome young man. And I want that Moose hat for myself.

We built a fort.

We watched episodes of Modern Family on the laptop and kept up the fort for a few days longer than planned. These were taken a few weeks ago, but I am foreseeing lots of fort-nights in the months to come, with the darkness and all. A perfect way to bundle up for the long Winter ahead of us and make the most of being indoors. By that time I am suspecting our fort making skills will be excellent :)

Kristen & Guillermo Loaiza: Anchorage, Alaska Photography

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

So shortly after moving here, I had some photo shoots scheduled. It was a bit scary at first because although I’ve been into photography for years, I only did it for pleasure and to document my life. Until now. This was my second session, and it was so. much. fun. Kristen is one of my best friends here and when she threw out the idea of having her and her husbands photos taken I was all for it. And honestly? They hardly needed any direction from me. Most of these photos you’re seeing are pure candid moments between them with lots of laughing, playful flirting, and just them being them, totally in love. And after spending oh, about 5 minutes with them, it’s more than obvious that these two are head over heels for each other. So here I present the first of (hopefully) many sessions I’ll be sharing with you lovely people on my blog. Enjoy!

Seriously, though…could they be a more gorgeous couple? I think not.

In a nutshell.

This is what a good day looks like for me.

Pretty simple, yes. But there’s nothing that relaxes me more than sitting down with tea or coffee, reading, writing down thoughts and prayers, and maybe swooping in on some cuddle time when that strapping husband of mine comes home from work (asleep or not, but usually…he falls asleep eventually. See last post).

Simple is never boring for us.
