Betsy and I have been great friends for about 15 years. (She’s the kind of person who can tell you the day we started rowing together. I, however, have to add “give or take 3 years”.)There is nothing better than friendship. Betsy and Kim invited Tim, Ellie and me to their sweet, rustic cabin in Moclips, WA. Married ocean-side, these two could not have purchased a more appropriate cabin setting than this. Being her usual social self, Betsy also invited friends staying at a local Inn to join us for a happy hour. It was a ball meeting Chris Collins and his two kids. Oh my GOD, I haven’t laughed so much in a long time.

Tazo and Betsy share the soon to be retired couch. Uh oh. Have YOU ever tried to un-train a couch-dog? The new red couch is sure to actually be black and red.

Ellie and Daddy. A daddy’s girl from her first moment in life. I enjoy the wonderful number two spot though!

  • Janet Klinger - HI Chris,
    I’m still out of state. Jane will give a call re: getting you prints, if she hasn’t already. My scedule is packed until end of May, but my two associates have some availability.
    I can’t wait to work with you, and I’d be honored to work with CHH. There’s nothing better than helping businesses that perform “good work”.ReplyCancel

Nicole Favorite and Matt Holt are engaged! This event is such a family affair. Nicole’s mom, Kim, is as much a welcome part of the fun as are their two loving kids. Every idea shared has been openly considered. This family is a dream. Since my motto is “Your Photographer for Life”, I hope to be shooting their daughter’s high school senior portraits, weddings and Nicole & Matt’s 50th wedding anniversary too! To say I’m honored to be chosen photographer is an understatement. I feel so lucky. (And I’m not even the Bride!)

Oh yeah, the cute engagement story…

Hiding from Mommy, Nicole found a butt sticking out from behind the “giggling couch”. There she found Daddy and girls “sneaking” a treat of ring pops. Nicole asked where her ring was. Matt pulled out a box holding a special ring indeed. Lots more giggling ensued, and crying, and hugging. On August 18, 2007 these high school sweethearts will be celebrating the life and love they already share.
