It’s always a huge honor to be asked to photograph another photographer, and this week I got to hang out for a “quick” family photo session for a friend of mine, Amy of Amy Parsons Photography. I say “quick” because our lovely plans for a 30 minute mid-afternoon mini session were skillfully thwarted by an … Continue reading »
You may remember some of our very best friends Brian & Amanda from their Belize destination wedding last year; one year later, and they’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of their firstborn daughter in just a few weeks.

This day was one for the books. First of all, Kevin & I drove through SNOW -in April- on our way down to Seattle. When we met Marc & Paula at their hotels, the sun was just starting to peek out, and by the time we were wrapping up pictures with the party, there were … Continue reading »
Putting this blog together, I realized all over again… I LOVE my job. It seems each year that I just love it more and more.

Our dear friends Adam & Heidi just added to their little family (did you see baby Audree??), and needed something cute to put on their Christmas card this year. No problem there!

Wes & Rochelle were married amidst tears, laughter and plenty of love on Saturday evening under the canopy of Evergreen Gardens’ overhanging trees and a gorgeous sunset.

I have a new favorite wedding venue: the MV Skansonia, a vintage Seattle ferryboat. So gorgeous! And there couldn’t possibly have been a better setting for Cody & Kyla’s wedding on Sunday. (Remember Cody, our parkour enthusiast? Remind yourself with their Freeway Park engagement session.) Kyla loves the Phantom of the Opera; while their wedding … Continue reading »

What a beautiful day this was for a mini session! Liz & Paul and their two adorable boys were SO much fun to run around Hovander with, and I was honored to capture a few moments in this family’s life.
Once upon a time, the Wyss family was made up of Mom, Dad, and two cute little boys. Now the boys are not so little, and they’ve added two wives (total, not each) and two impossibly adorable grandchildren into the mix. Kevin actually grew up with Brian & Adam, so this session for us was … Continue reading »

Katie works for the Everett Aquasox, so it was only natural that we take full advantage of that fact during her and Timias’ engagement session. SO cool! We got the “backstage” pass to everything – dugout, home plate, even the sweet old manual scoreboard. On top of it all, Katie is the prop queen, so … Continue reading »
Converse, sunflowers, cupcakes and frisbee – Andrew & Hanna’s wedding at Hovander Park this weekend was a picnic party to remember!

Chris & Rachel’s “Garden Storybook” -themed wedding, set in the middle of an organic farm (Willie Green’s Organic Farm), was stunningly perfect.

Joe and Alyssa are getting married next month at the Majestic in Anacortes, so for their engagement session we met them in downtown Anacortes to do a little pre-wedding exploring.

Well, we’re finally recovered from this weekend’s wedding festivities in beautiful Denver, Colorado… mostly.

Now THAT’S … Continue reading »
