SIBLINGS!! These guys are so gorgeous!! Who wouldn’t want to take their photos, right?! The Klinkhammer teens have been in front of my camera before, and I was happy to see them again!!!
Nina is the eldest and I am so excited to say that she is going to be a Chelle Nicole Rep at Harrison Prep School this year!!! And…so begins the Class of 2014!!! She is not only beautiful but just so sweet!! She’s the perfect fit for a rep of mine!
Vianna….I am so intriqued by her freckles and dark eyes!! It’s stunning!! 
And..Noah!! The poser! At least that’s what I started calling him….he’s such a natural in front of the camera!! Quite different than our last session where he was a little shy…but, you would never know that here!
We originally had talked about this being a Mother’s day session…but, with schedules and weather it became both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day!!
Aren’t they so cute!
There he is…..
Gorgeous!
Vianna…So beautiful….
…and I LOVED the blue bow!!! Had to capture it!
Sisters! A special bond!
Especially when laughing AT their brother!!! Haha!!!
One more of Nina!!
Guys!!! You were so much fun to shoot!!! Can’t wait till the next time!!! THANKS for all the laughter!!!!
Such a sweet moment between two people who have decided that 25 years together was so good that they wanted to get married again!!! When I first talked to Annie on the phone she said, “I know it’s just a renewal but it’s so exciting!” Absolutely!!! How many people get to say they get to be a bride twice to the same man!!! Not many!! And, Annie was a beautiful bride again!
Annie and Dan live in Idaho but were coming to Washington to have their vow renewal…so, that meant a few phone calls to talk about details….which all turned out SO beautiful!
She made her own dress…and, even had Dan’s initials embroidered on it….and, I love the shoes!
She got all ready and was waiting to go see her man!
This rosary was given to her by her mother…it was tucked in tight to her bouquet so she could be a part of this special day!
I love this image of Annie!
Her cousin, Cathy, was with her to help her get ready for her day! Special!
One thing that Annie was sure about is that she LOVES black and white photography!! I thought this one was perfect in Black and White!
Putting on the special cuff links, jacket and tie, and picking up his friends…..
…and waiting to meet his bride again!
We all headed over to Annie Wright School under an ominous sky….
The ceremony was being held in the Raynor Chapel.
Little side note: I have the cutest and best assistant/second shooter!!! :)
Ok…back to the wedding!! Dan is obviously a happy guy…a pilot for 50 years but has recently began the relaxing journey of retirement! I loved chatting with him. He has some great stories to tell!
Annie….such a sweet sweet spirit!!! She has so much love in her heart for everyone around!
25 years ago these two said, “I do” in their home in Florida with a group of close friends and family. It was such a special day. They didn’t have just one photographer….but, about 5 different friends that were witnesses and photographers…so, it was well documented!!! Aren’t they gorgeous?
25 years has done them good!!! Still gorgeous!
Still laughing….and loving!
…and, of course, KISSING! 
They were so happy to have their close friends with them again….
…and to have Dan’s son, Danny, with them as well!! 
Annie had a quiet moment in the school before the ceremony….
…and Dan soon joined her!! This was my favorite moment of the day!! 
Then, it was time! They walked in together….
Shared stories, laughs, vows, and….
yes, more kissing!!! It was a sweet ceremony!
Just as the sky decided to start raining we all went in to Johnny’s Dock….
…where they celebrated with their friends and family 25 years of love and friendship….and the next 25, too!
They easily fell into reminiscing and telling stories…and toasted to the roads they have walked to get to where they are…and to the road ahead of them!!!
And, of course there was more of that kissing stuff!! haha!!! Dan and Annie! Thank you so much for trusting me with your day!!! I was honored to be a part of your “Again Wedding!” I pray so many blessings on the next 25 years!!!
. Wonderful moments captured Chelle. Just beautiful
Such a beautiful girl!! Taylor showed up for her session and I knew right away that we were going to have so much fun!! She is the last of my 2013 seniors (as of right now anyway-it’s not too late to book a senior session)! She is graduating from Auburn High School!
And…she has a great laugh!! :) I absolutely love the dimple on her cheek when she does!
We had a wonderful evening of warmth and sunshine!
So comfortable and easy…I just love working with these seniors! It makes my life so fun!! I am the lucky one to get to call this ‘work’! ;)
She is ready to be off to Washington State University! She has a whole group of friends from high school that will be going together…. It’s gonna be a great time in her life!
I am starting into my first year with a senior…and I feel like there is so much pressure on these kids to declare a major and know what they want to do with the rest of their lives….I didn’t know when I was 18 or 19 what I wanted to do….I might not have even known at 30!!! But, these kids are doing their best!! I am so impressed with how they all deal with the pressure!!
Doesn’t she have beautiful eyes?
There were quite a few people around Ft. Steilacoom…so, we just used what we could…I don’t think you can even tell!
Taylor’s mom came along for our session together…she was great at helping, carrying outfits, and also great at giving Taylor some space!! What a hard job we have as mothers. Watching our babies grow up in front of us…but, being able to give them the space to do it!!
Even though I am just so in love with the light and color that we are having right now…sometimes an image just begs to be black and white!
Beautiful!
We had Taylor change back into her white dress towards the end of the session because she had a vision…but, first I got a few that were my vision….there is something about this shot that I just LOVE!
So pretty!
Taylor wanted a shot of her in the middle of the field in a white dress….
We got a few different varieties of that….
(another favorite!)
Taylor….you are a beautiful girl! You have so many incredible paths ahead of you….and, I know no matter which one you choose-you will succeed!!! Have a great time in Pullman!!
