sneak peek...

for the birkeland family! i haven't even looked though them all and i love so many...






also, i thought i would let y'all know that i only have about 4 family and child sessions available for THE YEAR. if you're wanting pre-holiday photos, now is the time to schedule!

p.s. last year there was a really high demand for mini sessions, let me know if you want to see more this year!

the [ p ] family

holy freaking cute. i had SO much fun taking pictures with bart, jill and baby holden! the weather was completely uncooperative, but in the end i think it worked in our favor. the umbrella kinda started as a necessity but ended up being such a fun addition to the pictures. so fitting for a seattle family, don't you think?

these ones are my favorite, how sweet are these little moments?

isn't jill gorgeous?! she kills me. 

love the little scowl in this one. haha!

why i haven't been blogging. . .

i have been preeeeetty busy with all of this... and more. enjoy all the sneak peaks until the real deal is ready!

the [ L ] family

now, if you try to tell me you have ever seen three cuter more photogenic kids come out of one family, you are lying. LYING! i can't believe how gorgeous these three are. and i didn't do a dang thing to their eyes to make them that color. they're REALLY just that BEAUTIFUL!!












k really? REALLY??! her eyes .  .  . 



sweetest little expressions... 

i just had to bring max's hat for this little guy- isn't he to die for!

who needs sun...

well, i'm thrilled that the weather was perfect for minta and michaels wedding on saturday, but it has been rain, rain, rain since then. i have two family sessions and a mentoring session this week... that's seattle for you.

we're working it out. =)

aren't i lucky to have such cute clients (and friends!) who are such good sports? love these guys!




p.s. i have not forgotten about the contest! winner announced tomorrow!

party of three...

sweet baby ryker was such a cutie! this now one year old was born at only 24 weeks gestation. he is quite the fighter and can you tell he is the apple of his parents eye? =)

happy guy...

little sam had the BIGGEST smiles i have ever seen on a 7 month old! and he has the cuuuutest little baby teeth. the good news is that sam is coming to MY house for a little indoor shoot tomorrow! lucky me!

my favorite. =)

This is one of my favorite clients and one of my favorite family sessions of '08. These guys are practically family- I have photographed them 4 times in the year and a half I have been in business! Mr. Andrew was one of my first clients when I took his two year old pictures last fall. Let's just say we've BOTH grown a lot since then. Haha! I also took his extended family pictures, pictures of him and baby brother Joshua as a newborn, and now these.  

The beauty of repeat clients is the relationship you build and ease of the session. Andrew knew exactly who I was and what was up. Everything during the session went SO smoothly.  I even found Andrew's jacket a couple of days prior while I was out shopping and immediately thought of him, so I made sure it was cool with his mom and picked it up for him for the shoot. Now that's just fun for everyone (I love being able to style the shoot a bit!). 

also, andrew also mr. #3 from a few posts ago.
