Almost ONE!!

She's almost the big ONE!! I had the privilege of photographing her at 6 months. And now at almost 1 year ~ isn't she just adorable?!?  The Savages are an adorable family and I am glad to call them friends!

Sascha + Kyle: Love Shoot

I have made some great friends up here in Alaska and some are like family. My friend Erin is certainly one of them. Sascha is like a niece to her and she's not only beautiful but she is a true sweetheart too. Her boyfriend Kyle asked her to marry him and she said.. YES! While they they were visiting here in Kodiak I got the chance to do an engagement shoot with them. They were a ton of fun to photograph and I think the pics turned out amazing!

July 4th!!

This year was anything but a "normal" July 4th for us. Last year we were stuck on the ferry on our trip over to Kodiak and missed out on all the fun. I love July 4th its always HOT, sunny and a time to get together with family and friends and have pool parties, BBQ out and eat watermelon and ice cream then get together and watch fireworks in the cool dark evening. 

Alaska does it a little differently. It was rainy, 50 degrees and cool, and of course daylight till about 1 am!! So no fireworks!! I know not fair right. One of my friends even admitted to watching them on TV from NY City!!! I was appalled! lol oh well I guess this is the new norm~ Bundling up for the 4th and attempting to do fireworks from a cloudy, soggy beach and ordering pizza! lol 

We still remembered to be thankful for living in a FREE nation and remembered all those who helped to make it free and those that still work everyday to keep it that way. So I hope you had a great 4th. We are all healthy, happy and free! So no matter how you got to celebrate I hope you made the most of it and are thankful too!

God Bless America and God Bless our troops!

The Repa Family

My friend Lisa and her family got together to do a photo shoot with me. They had never done one before but they did a great job! The kids kept me laughing esp after brother and sister were being nice to each other and then sister decided brother was too close and she leaned over and pushed him away! they were too cute!
