the good 'ole north west

Recently I was able to spend a few weeks at home in Seattle. Here are a few pics to prove it. For more, see the family blog.

the whole city blanketed in moss

old dock and boats waiting for repair on alki beach

a must have

because who doesn't love a tree hugger?!

all grown up

I don't photograph "big kids" all that often, I must admit, it's kinda nice not to jump up and down and make weird sounds to get my subjects' attention for once! Thanks for the fun afternoon Jardines!

all in white- allison threw on her baptism dress for a few!

matt and andrea, hellooooo mr. and mrs. photogenic! coulda shot these two all day!

baby joshua

I have been lucky enough to photograph joshua's family several times, so I was so excited to meet the new addition! He is an absolute dream and he looks JUST like his big brother!

I just couldn't help but share this one of Katie and Brandon.

a whole bunch of random shots from Keesa and Trevor's wedding way back in May!

yesterday

Remember THIS COUPLE? Yesterday was their wedding day. It was magical. Carly and I got all teary while they danced! I love this couple. You know when you meet a couple and you know they're going to be perfect for eachother? That's these guys. THanks Katie and Brandon for letting me take your wedding pictures. I was honored. Have fun on your HON-EY-MOOOOON! woohoo!

THanks to CARLY CARLSON for coming along for the ride yesterday. She did a great job and was a blast to shoot with. If any of you IDAHOANS need some picture love, check her out. She kicks the pants off the competition out there. 

Studio 5!

Whew! Glad I have that done with! Thanks to everyone at Studio 5 for a FANTASTIC time, they couldn't have been nicer! Also, thanks to everyone who replied to my post with questions and suggestions, it was so helpful! For those of you out-of-towners or for anyone who missed it, here is the link to the STUDIO 5 WEBSITE, where you can read some of the tips we talked about!

Of all the dumb things to do, I forgot to bring my camera on set so I could get a pic with the fabulous Brooke and Darren. Duh!

one more...

kinda vintage-y. is that a word? this dock with old boats on it was right at the reception site in Seattle. if only they would have let us walk out on it (the dock itself was pretty old too)!
