Alaskan Cruise

Hey Everyone! Once again sorry for my lack of updates. It has been a VERY busy month for vacation, real estate, photography, and just plain life in general. But I did want to share some photos from our cruise to Alaska - thanks to Aaron Grandma Wieringa. Thanks Grandma!


I couldnt decide which ones...so here are some.

Here is the WHOLE group - 27 of us.













We took a helicopter up to a glacier - it was AMAZING!




















The Bear we saw on our lil ride to the Yukon.




















The glaciers - they were so blue. Defintaly worth seeing! We even saw some ice chunks fall into the water.

Trashing by the Bridge

Well I did another TTD (trash the dress) this week - so much fun - I have a new location to shoot and it is pretty cool! Here are some of my favorite photos....I had a hard time picking!

Wedding Invitation

Last week I was asked to make my freind, Leah Frye's, wedding invites. She had seen this really cool idea of a postcard invite and a business card for the reply. Her photos wher dont by Dusty Brown Photography. Cute I idea for those getting married...let me know - not too expensive either!

Crazy Boys

Here are some fun photos of the crazy boys at the cottage.

Ben,Aaron, & Kelly getting ready for skiing on lil kid skis














Aaron taking a nice wipe out at mock 10!















Aaron & Ben skiing no handed...hmm that could end badly.















Hmmm, this just makes me wonder....suuuure Luke "needed help" getting up.




















This is just amazing. I want to be cool and flip free standing.















Ben! Slow down! Ya - he landed a long ways from this point - slightly dirty as well.

Baby on Board!

Well things have been very crazy around my home lately. And yes I do have lots of photos to share with you all - I will try to post them this weekend.

But! On a different note! Aaron and I are expecting number two Feb '08. And I have been extremely tired and sick. Which is why I haven't don't much to keep up. Sorry!

I will do better - I hope. Hope you all had a good 4Th of July!

New Exposure

I was recently added to a website for trashing a prom dress www.LetsGetTrashed.com . The host of the website is photographer Mark Eric, who was recently on Inside Edition, Good Morning America, and The New York Times. So you can imagine my excitement to be a part of the "new trend"

I have a few more "trashings" coming up - exciting! If you want to do one yourself let me know! I would LOVE to be a part of it.

And More Cottage Fun!

Well this first photo is of Cohen - he was NOT happy about this life jacket....and I mean NOT happy....

Here is Ben - first time skiing all year, he NEVER skiis and he starts jumping the wake. I died laughing...

My mom skiing.

And then Ben did his majic on the wakeboard. So much fun to watch. Especially since his first time he ever went he bawled begging not to have to try...good thing we made him.

And a fun family pic. :)

Wedding Dress Trashing

Well I did the trashing of my wedding dress. It was so much fun! Stephanie Teslaa did the photography, she does amazing work! She did Cohen's photos when he was one month - back a little over a year ago.

The dress I believe is savable! And I got awesome shots in the process.

(in a non vein way...) here are some photos I love!

Oh! And if any of you want to do this, I would love to be a part of it! For more inspration check out www.TrashtheDress.com

Prom Trashing

So I did my first prom dress trashing! I was extremely nervous. And very excited! We went in a crick behind her house and it was freezing! I was so anxious to work on the photos when I got home that I finished them that day!

Here are a few from the session....ok maybe more then a few. I couldn't choose. You can also go to http://www.karingastudios.smugmug.com/ and see the whole session under Trashings.
