And the Baby Turns One

As much as I love new clients and meeting new families (it is true that I am a business no matter how many discounts and unwise business decisions I make lol) I LOVE photographing the same families as their children grow. It is so much fun to catch up, have a connection, and take more photos of their changing family dynamics and little ones’ personalities.

Laurel's Golden Garden Senior Session

I might be a grouch. Sometime after I was a teenager, I started to think of teenagers and kids as “youths". When you read “youths” I want you to say it with a sneer and look of annoyance mixed with fear. Aka, “Ugh. Those kids didn’t even move to one side of the sidewalk. Youths! “ If you are thinking you missed something and I am really 85, I am not. Just have had the soul and bedtime of an 85 year old since I was maybe 15.

Rufus' Birthday/ Halloween Party

Rufus decided in September that he wanted to be a rainbow for Halloween. It was his idea and he didn’t waver. This kid. I only hope our sometimes brutal world doesn’t crush his sweet spirit.

Annual Pumpkin Patch Photos

Normally I am not a cheesy photographer. I don’t like props, I don’t even always like people to look at the camera. However, I make exceptions. Our annual pumpkin patch visit is one of those glorious exceptions. Rufus and David love pumpkins and Halloween so much it is contagious.

Why You Should Trust Your Photographer On Location

I looked at a field full of dying grass, fruit trees, and geese and saw a story. A romantic, lovely, photographic tale needing a family.

Amy & Nate at the Palladian Hotel Seattle

Amy and Nate’s Engagement session was so much fun. Amy is a friend of David’s from work, so I had met her a few times and always loved her bubbly enthusiastic personality. As Amy was texting me outfit choices we discussed the setting for the photos. Amy and Nate are outdoorsy adventures, who also have a swanky glam side. Knowing this, we shot the first half of their session at the Palladian Hotel Seattle.
