…with a BIG personality! This session was a delight. This girl is 4 and was so much fun! She’s a brand new big sister too! Here is the new addition to the family:
These are just a few of my favorites from the session.
Here’s the whole beautiful family:
Thanks for the great session and I hope you are enjoying your new Barbie!
Another senior! The whole day of the session the weather fluctuated between sunny and crisp to dark, ominous and pouring down rain! Luckily we managed to get our session in between downpours. We started at the beach, but it was pretty windy, so we went up the street to a park that had some lovely fall color. Luckily this senior was a good sport about sitting in the wet grass! Here are a few of my favorites from the session so far!

Here’s a few from a session several weeks ago! This family has been very patiently waiting to see their photos…so here are some to tide you over! I will have that gallery up soon though!
The kids were amazing…so much fun and adorable too! We thought the beach was cold, but I gotta say…it was balmy compared to my beach session this past weekend!
About 60 seconds after I pulled out of the parking lot at the beach, it was POURING down rain and lightening! We left just in time! I’m really glad we took the time to head to the beach though…what a great spot for some senior photos!
This was such a fun session for me! Thanks for being so open to trying my sometimes goofy ideas! With such a beautiful girl, it made my job easy! Look at those eyes!
I’ll have your gallery up soon!
I had a session with a great family this past weekend. The weather held out for us, so we were able to go to the beach for some shots. It was pretty chilly though, but the kids did great! They are such beautiful kids it was easy to get great shots! These are just a few of the ones I’ve looked at so far!

Here’s a few more of the adorable kids from preschool! I love this hat!
And this little girl is just too cute!
And this one! Quite the ham! In the best way, of course! She was full of giggles and attitude! I love that mom let her have tattoos for school photos too!!

I had the pleasure of photographing the children at my daughter’s preschool. These kids are adorable! Preschoolers are so funny when they are getting their photos taken. Some are all out hams, some turn on the cheese, some look like a deer in the headlights. Most of the time I can get them to give me a giggle or real smile. Sometimes I have to settle for no smile. And sometimes the funny expressions are the BEST! Here are a few of the MANY I have to go through and edit. And parents, don’t be alarmed if you see your child here and it’s not the traditional class photo headshot…you’ll get one of those to choose from!
I’ll be posting more as I get them proofed, so check back!

I had a great session last weekend with my first senior! This session was rescheduled due to rain and I’m so glad we did…we had gorgeous weather! She was a great sport, as I drug her all over the arboretum, but we got some great shots! Here are just a few from the session.
I should have your gallery up soon!

I love living in Seattle, but oh, I do wish we had more sunshine and warm weather sometimes! This beautiful girl and her sister were the best little models…they obligingly traipsed through a VERY VERY muddy field for me with no complaint! Would you look at the BLONDE hair on these girls!! Such gorgeous kids!!

I had the pleasure of taking this little guy’s photos when he was 6 months old. Look how he’s grown! He’s 14 months now and on the go! This is such a fun age (though a hard one to capture a photo of!). We had to reschedule the original shoot because of rain, and I’m kind of glad we did. We ended up with a beautiful evening in Fremont and ended up at Gasworks park! I had a great evening and hope you guys did too, and the drive wasn’t too bad!
Here’s a few from the shoot to tide you over!
Look at those blue eyes!
And killer smile!
We ended up at Gasworks where the planes taking off from the lake were a big hit!
