Spring is Coming!

We’ve got a little of this going on today.  Hopefully it sticks around for awhile.

We’re heading up to Bellingham for the day to celebrate my cousin’s graduation (far left).  When did we all grow up??

Mt. Saint Helens

Another amazing place in the Pacific Northwest

Hi Moxie!

Recent photoshoot

I’m such a bad blogger and am so far behind on posting (don’t I always say that???). 
Remember this little guy?  Well, now he is the proud big brother of an adorable little sister.  Here are some pictures from our photoshoot - isn’t she the most adorable little 6 month old?

Trip Planning

Wampus was helping me plan our upcoming Thanksgiving trip.





Unfortunately, he thinks we should go to Brazil instead of Uruguay and Argentina.



Sorry Wampus...tickets are already booked!

Brodie

The couple weekends ago a our friends Krista and Brian came and stayed the weekend with us and brought their dog Brodie.  Brodie was such a fun dog, I was hoping they would accidently leave him in Seattle with us. 
Isn’t he such a beautiful dog??
 
Can you guess what breed he is?


and just for fun….here is a picture from Krista’s blackberry of Brian and Joel enjoying a friendly competition of wii swimming:

thoughts of sunnier days.  horse art. sculpture art. rain - go away!

John and Laura - Engaged

Laura is a good friend of mine from work and I had the pleasure of getting to spend time with her and her wonderful fiance, John, while shooting their engagement pictures in August. I LOVE the outfits Laura picked out!!

Welcome Baby Noah!

I had such a great time at my newborn session today - Baby Noah is so cute! Here are a few pictures. I still have a ton to go through - so expect more later.





Enjoy!

L&L's Portrait Session

A few weeks ago I got to spend the afternoon with L and her [almost] 5 month old baby L. They showed me around a part of Seattle I had never seen before and and we got to enjoy an unusually sunny February afternoon playing in the yard of a BEAUTIFUL Catholic school.

Isn't little L just precious??


Mama L said little L has just recently begun to have an obsession with her feet. I am so glad I could capture this for them!



I think I got a different expression from little L with every shot.



Some people may disagree with me - but I think baby drool is SOOO adorable!



These two were so fun to spend time with!



Mama L told me this was one of her favorite shots from the session.



Again - this is picture heavy, but what can I say....I LOVE pictures!

M's Maternity Session

I'm so far behind on blogging - but I'll do my best to catch up! The first quarter of the year is considered "busy season" for those of us that are able to call auditing our profession. Luckily for me I've had some time to get some photo shoots in too!

In mid February I had the opportunity to take maternity portraits for my beautiful co-worker "M." She and her husband are anxiously awaiting their first baby and I'm excited to shoot some newborn portraits for the as soon as he arrives!

M's house was one of the coolest I have ever seen. She had so many modern funky colors and amazing furniture, but all put together in a very comfortable atmosphere. Once she has settled in with her new little one, hopefully she'll give me some decorating tips!









I have so many more pictures I could share, but I don't want to overwhelm this post with too many!

Thank's M for letting me spend the afternoon with you! I am so excited to meet baby "A"!

H Family - A day at the park

Last weekend I got to spend the afternoon with the "H" family. They are a wild bunch and sure know how to get the most out of a day at the park.

Baby X was not thrilled to be in the tire swing.


Look at those baby blues!!!


While A and X were playing with some pebbles - C thought it would be funny to point out X's "diaper crack"

Little X was exploring everything! His wonderful big sister A was his tour guide
