F Family Sneak Peek! | Mill Creek Family Photographer

I had the great pleasure to meet up with this family while they were in town visiting relatives.  Renn and I had gotten to know each other before they moved to Montana when our babies were babies, so it was wonderful to get our now 6 year old boys together for a day!

We started at a beautiful local park with a boardwalk through the wetlands - just right for this outdoors loving family.  Afterwards - a trip to Starbucks to recreate our long ago photos with our babies....  Awww!

Just a sneak peek for now, guys, more to come soon! 

Sunshine at Seward Park | Seattle Children's Photographer

After weeks of rain, I was finally able to schedule an afternoon session with the H family, on the ONE sunny day of practically the whole month.  I picked a nice little grassy spot under a tree and we had some great toddler-wrangling fun for an hour!  I'm now thinking perhaps the issue has more to do with the number of children being wrangled at once, vs the age, truly.  Haha!  (I sense a new kind of casting call in the future...)

But you can't go wrong laying on a quilt in the grass in the park, on a sunny Seattle afternoon, and a fun time was had by all. 

Some favorites!:



Family portrait season is heating up, folks!  How long has it been since YOUR family was photographed together?  I'm scheduling through the summer right now, and weeknight evenings are a great time to fit in a session!  Contact me for availability/prices.  

Studio Lighting workshop | Seattle Portrait Photographer

I recently had a chance to take a couple of classes on studio lighting, at a fun studio in Seattle, downtown in Pioneer Square.  Local photogs, if you have a chance to check out REDred Photo School & Studio, I recommend them - affordable and effective hands on education! 

During the hands-on lighting lab, we had 3 models to work with, and chose magazine photos to try to recreate - figuring out the types of lights that were used, how many, positioning, etc.  If I was thinking, I would have also snapped a photo of the magazine page, but alas, you'll have to trust me.  These are some of my favorite shots from my class:

May Day Baby Shower! | Snohomish Family Photographer

Well, this is a bit of a sneak peek for hostess Lauren and beautiful mommy-to-be Selina.  I wanted to try out my new collage template, what do you think?  Haha....  More to come soon, ladies!  It was a beautiful afternoon, filled with love from family and friends.  I loved being part of it!
