Arjun's First Family Photos

Amit and Jinita were some of the proudest parents I have ever seen! They are so smitten with little Arjun. They were affectionate, sweet, and honest about adapting to being new parents! We took their family pictures outside in the Bellevue Botanical Gardens and had so much fun.

MacDonald Newborn Lifestyle Session | Ballard

I first photographed the MacDonald family in the fall. They had just moved to Seattle, WA from Atlanta, GA. Kirsten was pregnant, Kunal had accepted a new job. Adeleigh was on her way to toddlerhood. When I got the call that the time had come to meet the newest member of the family, James Everett b. 8lbs 4oz, I couldn't wait to see and hold him.

Rufus the Explorer

Rufus is actually happiest in the woods. He loves to walk down the trails, talking to himself, playing with sticks and leaves. He is so much calmer in nature. My little transcendentalist.

Estrada Family Holiday Portraits

When I first met Alyssa, I was completely frazzled. I was on a coffee date with her and Lora, and my toddler was diving into the street out front of Starbucks while I pulled a million things out of an overstuffed diaper bag. Rufus was a crazy nut and I awkwardly, and immediately, asked to hold Amelia.
