Mr. and Mrs. Jones {Olympia Lifestyle Photographer}

I'm not sure who was more nervous at this wedding... the bride, the groom or ME, the photographer!  My dear friends, Kyle and Tera, asked me to be their photographer as soon as they got engaged.  I was thrilled and felt honored to be such a big part of their special day.  I have shot a few weddings in the past but nothing this size so naturally I was a bit nervous.  In the end, I had nothing to worry about!  The wedding was beautiful!!!  The wedding party, the family and even the staff from the venue were fabulous to work with!  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Jones!  I wish you many years of happiness!

Christmas Family Fun! {Olympia Family Photography}

 Last weekend I got to spend Sunday afternoon with a wonderful family.  Our goal was to get their Christmas photos done for their cards but it turned into an afternoon with all sorts of fun.  On my way to their house, it poured on me.  But just as I arrived, the sky cleared up and the sun came out just long enough to start our session outside.  The rain made for some fun though when Mom decided that they should jump in the puddles!  After running around and watching the airplanes, the rain began again so we went inside and joined the fur babies.  Although they didn't want to fully cooperate, they added a lot of their own personality to the photos.  I had such a great afternoon and I think this photos are so much fun showing all their personality!

 

School Fundraiser {Olympia Children's Photographer}

Last week I spent the morning at Spurgeon Creek Childcare doing a fundraiser with the kids. Since most of the children don’t go to school yet to participate in school photos, I thought it would be fun to take photos of them at daycare and donate 40% back to the center. The parents have loved the idea! The shoot was a success, the children LOVED having their photos taken and we had such beautiful weather to work with!

Todd and Candy {Olympia Engagement Photographer}

Last week I went on vacation to San Diego to visit family.  While I was down there, I was able to do a session with my cousin Candy and her fiance Todd.  They have such a fun style and we were able to incorporate their 1960 Oldsmobile into the photos.  I wish I could fly back down to be at their wedding!  Congratulations Todd and Candy!  I wish you many years of happiness!

Wade, Gina and Their Beautiful Children {Olympia Family Photographer}

New logo, new website design (http://www.aspinphotography.com) and I am committing myself to being a better blogger!  With that, I want to start by sharing my photos from today's family session.  I couldn't have asked for better weather for an October day in Washington.  It was BEAUTIFUL and reminded me why I love fall so much!

Cindy's Senior Session {Olympia Senior Photographer}

Yesterday I met with Cindy to capture her senior photos.  Cindy is working with me as a Senior Rep this year.  We started at the capital building and then went to Tumwater Falls.  We were fortunate that the weather decided to be wonderful and was even warm enough for Cindy to get in the falls at the end!  That made for some really fun photos.  Go to http://www.facebook.com/aspinphotography to see the rest of her sneak peek!
