Emma @ 7 Days Old – Newborn Photography

Almost one year ago I had the pleasure of photographing Mike & Amy’s Wedding.

Yesterday I had the joyful job of taking photos of the newest member of the family,

a sweet little girl named Emma who was seven days old. Emma was so cute I didn’t even mind

that she went to the bathroom twice on my blankets. lol. To the wash they went and on we shot.

Emma’s mommy and aunt made the cute floral headbands she wore. I loved them!

Emma didn’t like to be in her birthday suit all that much and she wasn’t about to go to sleep

and stay there. Nope she was too curious to sleep so we got a lot of cute shots with her

beautiful eyes open.:)

Thanks Mike & Amy for having me photograph your precious baby girl.

I hope you enjoy your preview. I will let you know when the rest are ready in two weeks.

Feel free to leave some love down in the comments section. Thanks! Enjoy.

Class of 2011 Kelso Senior Rep Alex – Sr Portrait Photographer

Meet Alex everyone! Alex is my Senior Representative for Kelso High School for 2010 – 2011.

Alex loves Videography and Music. He dabbles in song writing and plays the guitar.

He is a fun, goofy and the life of the party type of guy.

We met in downtown Longview to start off his senior portrait session in style.

After spending an hour there we headed out to Willow Grove for some fun beach shots as the sun was setting.

Once done shooting on the beach we hurried to a grassy location to get out the guitar to finish the night.

I had a great time Alex I hope you had fun as well!

Enjoy your preview and feel free to leave some comment love below this post.:)

Thanks!

These guys are some great friends of mine and I was so excited when they decided to have me do their family photos this year.:)

So thanks again guys for giving me the honor of capturing this years family portrait!

Enjoy your preview!

Now offering Pet Portraits! – Longview WA Pet Photography

After getting the same question about doing Pet Portraits over and over again I have decided to start offering it to my clients.
Here are some examples of some awesome pets I have been able to photograph.

When you have a pet it often becomes more like a child of yours than an animal.
Most pets live with you a long time so why not get professional photographs of the pets you love so much.

To book a session e-mail me at Schonakesslerphotography@yahoo.com or call me at 360-957-5918
