Babes Gone WILD!

Give a girl a little cake and you never know what might happen! Baby T sure loved her first dose of sugar!

Baby T's BIG Present

Check out Baby T's BIG birthday present! Baby T's mom is a professional horse trainer and T has probably witnessed hundreds of riding lessons that she has taught. Baby T has learned a lot and showed off all of her skills at the party including clucking to her to go faster and telling her whoa! She's quite a cowgirl!

Guinea Pig(s) Needed

When my sister and I were very small our Dad asked us what our Mom would like for her birthday. We answered "A guinea pig!" While our mother hadn't asked for a guinea pig, we sure wanted one so that was our response. To this day I can't figure out why our Dad believed us, but sure enough, after our soccer games we trucked into into the local pet store and purchased a lovely red and black guinea pig for our Mom's birthday. I'm sure she was just thrilled to receive it!

However, this Saturday I do really need a guinea pig or two! I'm getting my new camera tomorrow (a Canon 5D) and I just received a new AWESOME portrait lens (Canon 50mm 1.4). I'm eager to try this combination out, so I'm offering a free portrait session to the first person who emails me. The only requirements are that the session is for 1-4 people and must be this coming Saturday, at 10am, in Lynden, WA. The location is up to you as long as it is in Lynden (the City Park, downtown, Berthusen Park etc). The session will include an hour of photographic coverage and a $25 print credit, online hosting of images for proofing/ordering and of course all of my appreciation for letting me play with my new equipment.

Let me know if you are interested by emailing me at stephaniestremlerphotography@yahoo.com.

Baby T's Birthday!

I can't believe it has been a whole year since Baby T was born! WOW has she grown! Check out these adorable pictures from her birthday party as she opens her first gift. Many more pictures to come this week of the gifts (including one BIG present) and the cake eating! Enjoy!











Happy Birthday Baby T, Love Auntie Sneph

Another Beautiful Home!

Check out this stunning home Creative Stoneworks put granite countertops in! What a lovely home with all the bells and whistles! I was most impressed with the built-in master bedframe. Press a little button and a huge flat screen TV rises from your footboard! How great is that!?!

Two rock fireplaces, two wet bars, a HUGE kitchen, multiple bathrooms and stunning views--simply gorgeous!

Thanks so much to the home owners and Creative Stoneworks for letting me photograph such a beautiful home!

This first image is of the master tub--no granite here, but I couldn't resist an image of the serenity this tub evoked.

Here are a couple vanities for you...I love the stone choices!



What I wouldn't give to have such a beautiful shower--keep in mind this is only half of it. The other half (behind me as I was shooting) is an exact replica of this! I think it is bigger than my whole bathroom.

Isn't this island huge!? Creative Stoneworks did an amazing job with it!

They think they are snipers...

just because they can hit the center of the target at 100+ yards. But I shot all these pictures of them without them even knowing...so who is the better sniper now?

We've Got Spring!

Despite the rain spring has arrived! Maybe not officially, but I consider it spring when I start to see the first flowers bloom and the leaves arrive! Check out some of the fun going on in my flowerbeds...lupine leaves, hydrangea leaves and daffodils!

One Golden Image

A Man's Best Friend

Here are some images I shot of a beautiful German Shepard and his owner down by Bellingham Bay. I love how the dog is obviously so devoted to his owner. Enjoy!

Something to think about...

Here is one image I took a while back that is striking me tonight as interesting...I think it is the different textures and colors mixed together along with the uncertainty of what the picture actually is about that is intriguing me. What do you think? Do you like abstract images? Do you know what this is? Leave me a comment below! I'd love to hear from you!

One big boat!

Here is an image from my recent personal photo shoot at Bellingham Bay. Check out this big boat! I loved all of its color and stature.



I promise there will be more images to come in the near future...have a great weekend!
