Carsen { 13 Months }

When we shot photos of this handsome guy at 6 months, the temperature hovered around 40-45 degrees. Thankfully, for the 1 year photos, the weather had improved to a whopping 65 degrees. Meeting up with my friend Stacy and her smiling, blonde haired, blue eyed babe at the park was the perfect spot for a morning shoot. Unlike the 6 month photos, Carsen was on the move so being at the park gave him free reign to roam wherever he liked and we simply followed behind and caught up on each others lives. My day was better because of this happy guy - he smiled, laughed and made noises only a mama can understand and I enjoyed every minute of it.

:: Sweet Finley ::

I had the pleasure of meeting Finley and her wonderful parents at their house in Woodinville a few weeks ago. From the looks of this darling baby girl, you'd probably never guess she was six weeks premature and nearly two months old in these photos. After mom spent a month on bedrest, Finley made an early debut and melted her parents hearts. So tiny and so sweet - slept like she hadn't slept in days and was alert and awake at other moments. Already looking forward to seeing how much she changes at her six months photos.

Twins!

After doing photography for a couple of years now, I finally had my first chance at a twins photoshoot. Never did I imagine how difficult and how much fun a shoot with twins would be. Difficult in the sense that it was near impossible to get a shot of both girls looking at the camera...at the same time...without one or the others hands in their mouths. I was over this obstacle real quick and enjoyed spending two hours following these darling girls through the park. As a 1st birthday gift, Allison purchased a photography session for her two adorable nieces, Ana & Elisa or in her words "the most adorable twins girls - ever." Can't wait to capture more of these beautiful girls at auntie Allison's wedding in July.

Zachary { 2 Months }

This darling baby boy, along with his mama, flew 3,000 miles to meet his extended family for the first time last week. I was anxious to take his photos, but I wasn't quite sure what to expect considering the time change, flying, feeding schedules, etc, but he proved any of my preconceived thoughts to be false and was 100% perfect. Zachary was an excellent little guy with his big blue eyes, blonde hair, chubby cheeks and full belly. Hard to believe he's two months, right?

:: Carson - the BIG 13 Months ::

It pains me to write that it's been almost a month since my last post, but I've been completely swamped. There really is no excuse for my lack of posts, other than I'd prefer to get into bed before midnight and editing usually lasts until that point.
I've now completed Carson's newborn, 6 month and one year photos. It amazes to me to see how much a child can change from just the 6 month point to one year (or in this case 13 months) - he now resembles a little a man. Carson, his mama (my friend Becki) and I had a great afternoon wandering around my neighborhood taking photos and topped off the night with a BBQ steak dinner. Carson is such a funny guy in the sense that he absolutely can not stand to have his bare legs, feet or hands touch bare ground if he doesn't have a blanket to sit on. He remained happy the entire time and only shed one tear, which was captured in the 6th photo down - such a precious sad face he has.

Bert & Allison :: Engagement Photos :: Seattle

I was contacted by Allison a couple of months ago to see if we were available to shoot her wedding this July. We had never met, but I knew from our connection that I would love to work with her and her fiance. Allison is marrying Bert who is my friends brother-in-law. Remember this family? Bert is the younger brother of Ole (the dad in these photos) who is married to my friend Kylie. Confused yet? We met up a couple of weeks ago for the engagement shoot, which ended up falling on a perfectly sunny and warm spring day. These two were wonderful to work with - so in love, so cute, so perfectly tall (a step-stool may be accompanying Steve and I to the wedding), so photogenic and so much fun...

Allison & Bert - Congratulations again on your engagement and we look forward to working with you in July!
