I met Alyssa and Kendell first from my Etsy shop when they purchased one of my wedding invitations, and was delighted when they asked me to do their bridals. It was a gorgeous but freezing day at the Seattle Temple. If it weren’t for my frozen fingers, I would have thought it was the middle of summer from the pretty light we had streaming through the trees.
It’s so fun growing up with two awesome people who eventually end up marrying each other. Tim and Jessica make such a great couple and I felt so blessed to be able to capture their day at the Seattle Temple.
Most people don’t look this good 32 weeks pregnant with one baby, much less TWO. I’m so excited to meet these twinsies due in less than a month! Also, can we talk about how nice December is in southern California?
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.
It was a morning that started out gloomy but an afternoon that turned out to be gorgeous. What a day for this beautiful wedding at Saint Patrick’s Church in Tacoma. It was my first wedding since my baby was born, and it felt so good to be back (even though it was the longest time I’d ever spent away from him and I sure missed him!). Weddings are funny things. You spend the day intimately close with perfect strangers on the happiest day of their lives, and throughout the day, you begin to learn their story, meet their family, and by the end of the night, you wish you were friends. That’s how I felt about Mary and Cody and their wonderful friends and family.
My cousin is the coolest. She’s the super woman behind Cluck Cluck Sew, and her family is about as sweet as they come. Taking their pictures in my home town of Poulsbo was a dream.
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.
I love how photo shoots help me get out and explore the area. South Lake Union in Seattle is such a cool place, and Josh and Nicole were so fun to photograph. They’re such a great couple!
I had the pleasure of photographing Alina and Jacob’s French themed wedding reception this week. I love when couples incorporate their love story into the details of the wedding.
