So this was one of my rare in-studio sessions. I was late to this one because I forgot my memory cards – of all things to forget! That’s like leaving your film at home… But even though I was 15 minutes late and they had to get dolled up right after nap time, these girls were so cooperative. I was definitely impressed. Aren’t they beautiful? Mom must be so proud!

Happy Birthday to this guy. He’s now the big 1-2. The last pre-teenage year is a big one, isn’t it? We headed back to Richmond Beach for this session – one of my favorite Seattle area locations. It’s just so stinkin’ pretty! I can tell that mom is so proud of her son. And rightfully so. He is handsome, polite, self-confident, and creative!

I find that photography opens my eyes to fun that I might not have found otherwise. Had I not gone and played in the snow with this family that morning, I probably would have wasted my time watching TV or something. I love winter, and Seattle pretty much didn’t have one this year. We saw a snowflake or two float down from the sky one evening, but that was the extent of it. I’m so glad I had the chance to romp around in the snow at least once this year.

Winter Whimsy was a blast! We had delicious food, mimosas, music, and wonderful company. I really enjoyed working with everyone! I thought it only appropriate to share some photos from the event… maybe you can join us next time!

These were taken on a gorgeous day just two short weeks ago. We got so lucky with just the perfect amount of cloud cover. The air was a tad bit chilly, but for October, it was pretty awesome. Perhaps you recognize the baby – the new addition I got to photograph over the summer when he was 10 days old. He’s not such a tiny bundle anymore, but he’s still darn cute! And so is his big sister, of course. I’ve been looking forward to photographing this family for a long time, and I’m thrilled that it went so well.

I just finished working on this collage for my brother’s family. I love this collection so much because it really shows what it means to have fun! These images are so full of love and life, it makes me want to go back to Iowa City NOW so I can hang out with these guys again! If you’re looking for ways to brighten your mood, spend some time with this piece. These kids’ passion for living is contagious…

This family is so great – creative, enthusiastic, agreeable – all the things I could ask for. We had a fun time walking around the lily lake in Amana.

I love these kids to death. I got to hang out with them for a few hours last weekend in Iowa, and what a treat! They had loads of fun and Mom even dressed them up in their formal clothes from a wedding they were in last month, which means I had as much fun playing as they did! It’s amazing how much these two kids have changed – and stayed the same.

If you read my blog much, you’ve seen this guy before. This is my third year as his photographer, and I had a great time reconnecting with his family. They’ve been part of my annual midwest tour, and they help make my trips a lot of fun. What I love best about this group of images is the insight into character. The boy he is this summer has been captured in these images. Even as things continue to change, these photographs will always have a magical ingredient that defies explanation. That magic is what keeps me making photographs.

I got a rare opportunity to photograph a newborn, only 10 days old! So many people wait to have their baby’s portraits done until 3 months or so, and they miss out on this lovely opportunity. Thanks to the S family for welcoming me into your home.
