Two kids, man. Some days I’m so full of joy my heart could burst, and five minutes later I’m contemplating taking up swearing. But I guess that’s kind of what motherhood is. Mostly, I’m just trying to be grateful for right now, because I know it’s only a season and I’ll miss it when it’s gone. Big thanks to my parents for helping us out with these pictures. Have we finally outgrown tripod family pictures? Probably not, but this way sure is easier.
It’s been one month with our sweet Olivia and we just love her to bits. Taking newborn pictures of my babies is always one of the most stressful parts about having a baby for me. Every day she changes and grows, and I just want to capture that little-ness before it’s gone, but it seems like by the time I get her dressed, fed, happy, and myself bathed, dressed, and have the setup ready to go, the sun has gone down. It only took us 4 separate tries to get these, but I’m happy with how they finally turned out – and so is my ever patient husband.
College graduation is so exciting, and I was so happy to share in Kira’s celebration by taking her senior photos. The University of Washington campus is stunning and made a beautiful backdrop for her pictures.
The days are getting longer, the nights are getting warmer, and guys, I’m DYING to get out and start taking pictures again. Need a photographer for families, seniors, maternity, engagements, weddings? Whatever you need, I’m your girl! I’m now booking spring sessions, so send me a message!
I serve as a photographer to Bellevue, Issaquah, and the greater Seattle area. I also make frequent trips to the Kitsap peninsula including Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, Silverdale and beyond.
Some day when I’m old and rich, I’m going to have a second home in San Diego and live there half the year and Washington the other half. Until then, I’m just going to have to make lots of trips to visit these guys! Family pictures with them at the San Diego LDS Temple was so fun!
9 months. How was it 9 months ago that I was 9 months pregnant, so unsure and equally excited for this new adventure to begin? Mason just keeps getting more and more fun every day, and I feel like the luckiest girl to be his mom.
Fall is my husband’s favorite season because he gets to smile in front of my tripod while I promise, “Just one more!” a total of 12 times. He loves it even more now that he gets to wrangle a baby.
Okay, maybe not. But he’s a really good sport.
This was our first real attempt at family pictures, and I was pleasantly surprised at how the pictures turned out. Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island was beautiful, baby was happy, and the weather was perfect. How we got our little guy to smile at the camera can only be attributed to a miracle.
Things have been pretty slow around here, thanks to this precious little love of mine, Mason Blake: born April 10th. We couldn’t be any more obsessed.
Special thanks to my husband for taking the photos of me and Mason.
Salt Lake City was sure fun while it lasted, but we’re excited to see what’s in store for us here in Bellevue, WA! Moving out of state at 32 weeks was an adventure, and I’m so grateful for all the help we had from friends and family along the way. I’m excited to build up my clientele here in the beautiful Seattle area. Contact me for a photo session as I’m currently booking for March!
