Gorgeous light and laughter | Seattle Family Photographer

Seattle Family Photographer

I’ve known this beautiful family for a few years now, and they’ve become such good friends of ours. While it was sad that they moved about 30 minutes further north of us, we actually end up seeing them more since we are more mindful of getting together (plus, our dog is in love with their backyard, so how can we deny him that??)

Pamela and Chris have three gorgeous daughters, and we headed over to this beautiful field near Ebey Island. The light that evening was just divine. The steady breeze that evening keep the girls’ long hair moving – both a challenge and also resulting in some gorgeous images!

We had such a fun evening and laughed all through their session. Thanks again for such a fun night!!

April 10 on 10: A Personal Project | Seattle Photographer

My husband and I headed down to Southern California to spend a week with my brother and his family. All 3 of his kiddos are active in sports, but only Gavin had a ball game while we were in town. So, of course, Auntie had to bring her camera! The game started just as the sun went down, but oh how gorgeous was that sunset!! The fencing around the field was challenging, trying to focus on the game without getting too much fence in the way, but the challenge was also part of the fun – trying to see what kind of images I could get and still include it!

I had originally planned on including several days worth of images from our trip into my 10 on 10 for April, but this night lent itself perfectly for this project!

Thanks for visiting! And please continue through our circle blog to see what Ceri was up to over at Ceri Herd Photography for her April 10 on 10!

Baby boy – 5 weeks new | Seattle Newborn Photographer

Seattle Newborn Photographer

This adorable baby boy came in to my North Bothell Studio when he was 5 weeks new! He was absolute perfection and slept throughout his posed newborn portraits. We were also able to capture some awake images while he was wrapped in a beautiful blue wrap and laying on a gray flokati fur rug.

He was an absolute joy to photograph! Thank you for coming in to see me! And congratulations on your new family of 3 🙂

March 10 on 10: A Personal Project | Seattle Photographer

When I was contemplating ideas for my March 10 on 10 project, I realized it would have to be yet another set of images of Bo, since his birthday is March 11 🙂 And well, our German Shepherd is photogenic and we are THOSE dog people, so there’s that….

I’ve seen a lot of these type of personality blocks with human kids lately, so thought it would be fun to bust out my black backdrop and studio light and see how many expressions Bo would give me! (Needless to say, I ended up with WAY more than 10 images….ha!)

Mad props to my husband, Adam, who served as dog wrangler, treat giver-outer, ball/toy tosser, etc. I’m sure it will be awhile before I can convince either of my boys to help me out with a photo project again, but it was so worth it! Enjoy!

The 10 on 10 project is part of a circle blog, which means that there are several of us participating in sharing our 10 images on the 10th! To follow the circle, go check out Katie at Crate and Petal Photography.

Couldn’t resist including this one, since this sweet boy turns 7 tomorrow!!!

Don’t forget to check out Katie and the rest of our circle blog! And if you’d like to see our previous 10 on 10s, follow the links below!

Winter Portraits at North Creek Park | Seattle Family Photographer

Seattle Family Photographer

I have been photographing this family since Alandra was in her Mom’s belly. Hard to believe they are now so grown up! We headed to North Creek Park last January for some family portraits, in addition to grabbing some images of Dresden for his birthday. It was a really cold day, and we were all trying to stay as bundled up as possible, and quickly get through our session! Even as cold as it was, Dresden and Alandra were troopers, and we got some amazing images. The sunlight was gorgeous that afternoon!!

If you’ve got some time, check out Alandra’s birthday session at Scriber Lake Park!
