Beautiful Brehani

Brehani is a childhood friend of my husband's. 
I've met her in person a couple of times and have stayed in touch with her via social media and we have mingled for years through a plethora of mutual friends.
 
She's super sweet, spunky, funny and a rabid sports fan- which makes me giddy happy to know that I'm not the only girl out there who loves sports!
 {and who totally understands that she who has the most bling WINS!!!!!!}
 
Every single time I see a shared photo of her- I am just speechless at how incredibly beautiful she is.
 
 Her cinnamon skin is flawless!  Her sparkling eyes give you an indicator of the warmth and love that lives in her soul and her smile absolutely confirms it!  And those perfectly pouty lips- are what all women wish for- she's a blessed individual for certain! 
Such a beauty inside and out.
 
So when she mentioned that she was coming home to Seattle for a visit- I jumped at the chance to photograph her!  She brought along her *favorite* and only Niece Mary Mattea and we had a fun time playing in downtown Bellevue in the glorious evening sun. And just for the record- M.M. 's eyes really are that color- no enhancement needed- they are crazy bright- beauty just runs in the family!
 
Thanks for playing with me girls!!

Brayden's back!

Your Husband won't even know what hit him for Valentine's day! xoxo Didi V.

Mc Carthy vs Monroe

My girl H says that she's more Jenny Mc Carthy than Marilyn Monroe.... but I beg to differ..... I think she rocked the glam old skool beauty thing quite well..... Happy Anniversary Mr. President......

Hello Hot Stuff!

"Happy Birthday dear" just doesn't seem to cut it when you are presenting your husband with these..... I have known Alicia forever and ever- so I was totally excited when she told me that she was finally ready to do pin-up pix!!!

She is the embodiment of what a few years of wisdom and confidence looks like- and it looks HOT!

(And I'm certain he'll say that his jeep- has never looked so good.....)

Now Alicia will be the first one to tell you that she's nervous about this or doesn't like that about herself.... but after coming to peek over my shoulder today to see what we got...... she's relieved and pleasantly surprised..... her ideas and my vision came together beautifully- even if it wasn't totally what she saw in her head originally.
***Primal- is the only word that comes to mind here.***
We had lots of fun and loads of giggles yesterday & I had the best assistants a girl could ask for- Thank you Christy and Daffney!!! And Alicia- love ya girl- thanks for choosing me!
So as the sun sets on another day...... walk tall, with a little swing in your step... and think, "hmmmm.... I wonder what I look like in someone else's eyes???"
Then call me and say, "D-It's time.... let's go play!" :)

A Valentine's gift he'll never forget...

I love a lady who plans ahead.... and Holy guacamole is her husband going to be surprised!

I met with Miss M on Sunday for some pin-up fun to send to her husband who is currently serving overseas in a very hot and sandy place.....

When I asked how long he'd been out of country her answer was 7 months.... and when I asked how long they had been married- her answer was 7 months..... wow- can you imagine having to let your hubby go during the time that should be your honeymoon???? Talk about sacrifice! ( A big thank you goes out to this family- and to all the other military families who make this kind of sacrifice to keep the world a safer place!!!!)

And thank you to Miss D, who I'm sure you'll remember as Mrs. Clause in my December posts... who came up to hang out and be my assistant for this shoot! What a fun day!
SO.... I think it will go without saying- that these photos will I'm sure be instrumental in his wanting to get home and pick up where he left off with his new bride! :) Miss M- best of luck to you both! Thanks for coming to play with me!





*can I just say- I love how this shot came out...I love the blown-out effect!*

What a shot- I'm sure he misses this pretty view...sweet dreams!
