I had this little 8-month old in the studio last week! He had just learned to crawl, but luckily he was happy enough to sit.
He is so adorable! He reminds me of my son when he was this age.
Look at that smile!

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010Gorgeous light | Seattle family photographer
Monday, December 6th, 2010We had one of those gorgeous Seattle autumn days and the perfect setting for this extended family session. The girls mainly wanted to run around and play, but who could blame them on this kind of day!
We managed to corral them all together for some family photos…
This family is moving this month, so we got some of the girls with their grandparents.
And the whole beautiful family!
Family sessions are a challenge…it’s hard to get everyone looking good in the same photo, or even looking in the same direction, especially with kids, but they are so important. I love being able to capture this time for families. And good luck to this family in their new life!

beach time | Seattle family photographer
Saturday, October 9th, 2010Last Saturday was a glorious fall day that remind me how much I love the Pacific Northwest. It started out overcast, but not cold. One of those perfect fall mornings. I met this family at one of their favorite local beaches for some photos.
There was tree climbing…
And rock-throwing….
And cuddles with grandma…
And log-jumping…
And in between, I managed to get a few smiles…
Thanks for the great session!!
Laura and Paul | Seattle photographer
Thursday, October 7th, 2010Last week I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Laura and Paul. It was a small, intimate wedding at Cafe Juanita, and it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended. These two are blessed indeed, with each other and with a community of family and friends who cherish them. I wonder how often the photographer ends up crying at weddings?? 
Luckily I didn’t end up with blurry photos!
Here are the bride and groom…Congratulations you two, and here’s to a long and wonderful journey together.
The bride was attended by her lovely daughter, who read a very beautiful piece about marriage (wish I could remember the author!).
Cafe Juanita was the perfect spot for a small, intimate wedding…it was gorgeous!
For a happy marriage, keep doing lots of this…
Cheers, you two!
jen & brian | seattle engagement photographer
Sunday, September 26th, 2010Today’s session with Jen and Brian was one of my favorites in a long time!! Everything was just right! We thought we might get rained out, but the rain held off and kept the crowds away from our location!! I had the privilege of shooting their wedding a few weeks ago and was thrilled that they wanted to do some fun shots on Jen’s bike and at the lake where they had their first date (awwwwww!!). It was really hard to pick favorites to show…and there’s so many more to edit! Here are some I just couldn’t wait to show them.
We started at their place for some fun shots on the bike…I love these two!
then we headed over to the lake….
Here’s to many happy years ahead you two! I hope you are always laughing!
Studio coming soon | Seattle family photographer
Sunday, September 26th, 2010The new studio space is almost ready. It’s a matter of getting organized and fine-tuning at this point. My daughter wanted me to try it out on her the other day, so I snapped a few by my tree wall. I am looking forward to offering some holiday sessions in the new studio! Stay tuned for more information and an opening special!
Jen & Brian | Seattle portrait photographer
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010This past Friday night I had the opportunity to photograph the wedding of this adorable couple! I LOVED the colors they chose, and the vintage look to everything!
They got married at the historic Monte Cristo Ballroom…a beautiful and intimate place for a wedding!
I LOVED the dress she wore!! 
Congratulations, Jen & Brian! Here’s to many happy years ahead!
The Peace Project
Friday, September 3rd, 2010I am very excited to share my good news with you all! I entered a photograph into The Peace Project, an international competition to promote and inspire us all to contribute to global peace efforts. My entry won an Inspiration Award, and will be one of 150 selected entries to be printed and displayed in galleries in Los Angeles, San Fransisco and New York City! What an honor!! They are printing a book that will be available as well as other items. All net proceeds will go to the war victims in Sierra Leone. This is my entry:
You can see the other entries and read more at The Peace Project from The Whole 9.
brothers | Seattle family photographer
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010Had another session with another family with two boys! Lots of boys this month! They were so sweet….it’s so nice to see big brothers in action! Here are a few favorites from today!
It’s easy to see where the kids get their good looks!
During the session, a young, injured bird came right up. It wasn’t afraid of us at all, and seemed to want help. It even ate out of Dad’s hand! Hopefully it made it safely.
Thanks, Norah and Frank for letting me photograph your beautiful family! And for the jicama salad recipe! I can’t wait to make it!
