Our family has enjoyed getting to know Brian + Carla since we have moved to the Seattle area. They have been our go to people for where to go, how to get there, where to eat, + what sights to see. So basically our own personal google or yelp, not to mention house/dog/babysitter!
By the way they treat each other and those around them this child will be born into a home of great love + respect. I have no doubt they will be incredible parents and I can’t wait for it to be my turn to help them out!
I was excited when Karissa + Victoria contacted me about doing a fall shoot at the Washington Park Arboretum. It was a beautiful autumn day and every nook and cranny of the place was buzzing with photographers. Armed with a few outfits each, we braved its highly travelled trails.
I’m already looking forward to doing another shoot together with these beautiful ladies. Not only do I get to check out another fabulous location but get to see what creative outfits they’ve pulled together!

The bridge made for a stunning backdrop but it was by far the most popular spot! We barged our way on and managed to snap a few before the next camera came along!
This was an exciting year of firsts for this little munchkin {+ her parents}. We took this little busy body over to Pine Lake, chased her around, photographed her + chased her some more. Because turning one is kind of a big deal + the chasing has only begun!
When you move to a new area there are just some people who make the transition a lot easier. Meet one of the families that has been a saving grace since I stepped foot in the PNW. I enjoyed having these sweet dimpled faces + their parents in front of my lens the other morning. With her little girl creeping up on the one year mark, this mom is very well aware of how quickly time is passing. Here we are at the Snoqualmie River to document their family at this very busy stage!
There was no way this little guy was gonna let his mama get thrown into the water!
This summer break has been a busy one, going from one thing to the next. The day we had slotted for the ‘W’ family session was forecasted to be a cooker but without any option to reschedule we went ahead with it. With the beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area in the background, not even the hottest of days can make this family look bad!
Poor lil ‘B’ was not thrilled with the heat and spied my smoothie tucked away. Who can deny such a face?! He sucked it back like nobody’s business! 
With just a bit of sun left in the sky and the air only a few degrees cooler, we walked down to the lake to finish off our day. Thanks ‘W’ family for lookin’ smokin’ hot and making it look like no big deal!
