SARAH & KEVIN - ENGAGEMENT

Look at these two!!! This was a really fun shoot for me and getting to know Sarah & Kevin as a couple as well. They completely rocked at the shoot and had some pretty funny candid moments. Here it seems as if they were a little bored with me so they decided to start playing w/ grapes to keep themselves entertained. =)

TRILBY & JIM - OCT 8

My goodness...what a couple. I had SUCH a great time w/ Trilby & Jim. I had just done their engagement session 2 days before their wedding so you could say we were all a little warmed up by the wedding. But, I dont think they really needed to be warmed up because they were so fun to photograph. They are so naturally comfortable in the camera, and with eachother and they LOVE to have fun. They were so open w/ me being creative w/ their images and that was great for me as well.

Frankenfield family

This was a flash-back shoot of me trying to photograph my daughter. This adorable little one, Faith, is the same age as my daughter and just as active. It was funny, I have to embarass myself and act like a complete idiot to try and get little ones to pay attention to me. When it's all over, it's good times though...and hopefully the adults still want to talk to me. =)

TRILBY & JIM - ENGAGEMENT

I had SO much fun at this shoot. Trilby & Jim are such a perfect match, and they can't help but let that show in front of the camera. I just got to sit back & shoot away...I love that! They do not have a PDA issue, which helps. =) We actually did this shoot a couple days before their wedding because they aren't living local anymore. We had a lot of fun at the wedding too and I'll be posting some images from that soon.

BRADI & SCOTT - SEPT 24

Bradi & Scott, what can I say...I actually can't say enough. Let's just say I felt very lucky to share their wedding w/ them. Scott LOVES to be in front of the camera, and Bradi is just the cutest thing w/ the biggest smile. I had a TON of fun! I love this...Scott had to come up for some air & loosen up his tie after his first attempt at the garder. He is a crack up!

TAYANA & JASON - SEPT 23

What a great wedding! I was so excited to hear that the bridesmaids were going to be wearing different color dresses, and they looked so fabulous! Besides looking good, these girls were SO close, and I found out later that they were all friends from different stages of the brides' life. I would have NEVER guessed. This was the first time I shot at Elegant Gardens, and was it ever elegant. I love how she had caramel apples for the guests, that was such a great idea, and sweet!...just like Tayana. =)

ALEXIS & DAN - SEPT 16

Well I had a first at this wedding...a groom in a white tux. Seriously, it made me a little bit nervous. That's a lot of white to get right! =) He looked really sharp, and the wedding was at The Promise Garden which is an amazing outdoor location. The grounds are lush. and I really enjoyed shooting there. The bride had the most simple red detail on her dress, but wow, I dont know if it was the red or just how amazingly gorgeous she is, but she looked FABULOUS! This image was the first time they looked at eachother after leaving the alter. She was very emotional, it was sweet. It was a great wedding and I had a great time.

Gracie sweetie

Gracie is so cute & smiley, such reflections of her parents. I did her 6 month pics a little bit ago and she was so fun to work with. I thought these shots were so funny, she wasn't even dressed yet and I was testing the light when she had to sneeze. She was so giggly right after she sneezed...and I like how dad is in the back laughing too.

KATIE & JASON - SEPT 3

Katie & Jason were married on September 3rd, and they had a great party. They are both serious people, but instantly come out of their shell to have a good time. Jason is very in tuned with Katie, and was totally into her and her dress and all the little details about her. It was so sweet. Katie is just giddy with Jason and it's adorable as well. They are going to have a great life together.

Nesting

One of my friends, Kelly, is about to have her second daughter. I did her maternity pictures a few weeks ago and she looked stunning. She's so tiny, she doesn't look 9 months pregnant at all. I was a blimp! =)

Lots of seniors

I've been doing a lot of seniors in the last couple of months. They have all been really cool, laid back and wanted to do a lot of different things. I'm going to put together a collage of this class when things slow down.

Good livin' outside the city

I love shooting in Seattle, who wouldn't. I was there a few weeks ago for 2 days and had 3 shoots and I wish I had more. This family had the most amazing home with land I could only dream to own. I mean the dad & their neighbor picked up the boys from the bus stop on a 4 wheeler and dirt bike. That's so unbelievably cool to me, I'd LOVE to live that way. Anyway...we all had a great time. The family is so darn good looking and Grandma was there to have some fun too.

SYDNEY & JEFF - ENGAGEMENT

The two of them met while going to UW so we started off on campus which of course is unbelievable. Between parking tickets, of course, some great Thai at the Tiger Room, & Gas Works park for the sunset, I had a great time. They were such a fun couple to get to know and I'm so excited to be photographing their wedding.

more from Seattle...

I did a family shoot for Jeff's sister while I was in town to do their engagement session. I love how the kids are decked out in Coug gear. They were a fun group, I'm so lucky.

Cutie

Meet cute little Connor. This is actually a toned down shot of him, he was a complete ham for me. At 6 months old he's already showing signs of being a ladies man...he looks like he's about to say, "How you doin'".

MICHELE & DWIGHT - SEPT 2

I was really excited to shoot this wedding, September 2nd. Michele & Dwight are so fun to be around and have great, fun personalities. They had a lot of fun people around them on their wedding day and I think Michele was on cloud 9 the whole day. She was SO excited to be marrying Dwight and she radiated happiness the day. This shot is of them being announced at the reception. OH! And they had "The Coffee Guy" there serving espresso & italian sodas. SO COOL! OH, I had to go pull another image. They surprised Dwight's son & daughter with rings to unify them all as one, as a family. It was so moving to watch & capture that moment.
