Peter and Felix brought one hundred percent of their authentic selves to their wedding at Ray’s Boathouse and their friends and family LOVED it.
If there is one word I could come up with to summarize Akela and Billie’s late summer wedding at Falling Water Gardens, it would be joyful. The whole day these two beauties were smiling and giggling and screaming with laughter. They were giddy in love like it was a potion.
Nick and Franklin’s late summer wedding at Trinity Tree Farms near Seattle was nothing short of fae wonderland dreams.
In the weeks leading up to Wyatt and Miranda’s engagement session I was working myself up into an anxious mess about driving over the pass in late December. Every day I was obsessively watching the weather and the traffic cameras, predicting that the day we were due to do the sesison there would be a freak snow storm that only struck when I was crossing the pass. I actually eneded up borrowing a friends 4x4 just to make sure I was fully prepared. All of which came to nothing because the day I drove over the pass it was gorgeous clear blue skies and though there was snow on the ground there were two “ruts” that were clear to the ground. Basically it was absolutely no bother at all!
With all the ugliness surrounding the Supreme Court's decision in the cake baker case I decided I wanted to do something positive to counter it. So I cooked up a plan with some friends and enlisted the magic baking hands of South Fork Cake Co who made the most amazing cake I think I've ever seen. My good friends Alex & Chad then proceeded to smash it into each others faces in the most adorable way.
How beautiful is she?
When Scott contacted me saying he needed some headshots for a work project, I was happy to help. We arranged to meet at his apartment and he suggested heading up the roof because it had a good view. He understated it a bit as his apartment roof looks out over Lake Union with a view of downtown Seattle to the left, it has to be one of the best views of Seattle I have ever seen!
For the first time in a good few years, it snowed in Seattle this past week. Enough for it to actually lie on the ground I mean. But of course by the next day it was gone, gone, gone. Which made going up to Vancouver to shoot a family portrait session for Jasmine and her family all the better because they had a TON of snow!
The best part was watching her pups Zephyr and Woody run around in it, poor Woody was barely bigger than the snow was deep so it was a lot of effort for him to charge around and keep up with Zephyr. In between their mad dashes we were able to get some cute images and once everyone confirmed that they couldn't feel their fingers any longer we headed back inside for some hot cocoa.
Michelle contacted me last month to schedule a portrait shoot for a very special reason. She wanted to mark five years since she kicked cancer's ass! How great is that? She even had a specific location in mind, the beach that her family had property close to where she would summer growing up. How perfect is that? The weather was even quintessentially Pacific Northwest, drizzly and windy! But Michelle loved it and we got some great, raw shots which was exactly what she wanted.
Josh came into the studio a few weeks ago for headshots and I was delighted to learn that he was Irish. A recent transplant to the States myself it was great to chat with someone from the other side of the pond while we shot.
Anyone who knows me knows that Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year by a mile. Come November 1st I’m blasting the Christmas tunes and guzzling eggnog latte’s. So when I realized I had friends who had babies that could be dressed up in adorable Santa outfits, I messaged them right away. I should’ve known better because of course Angela already had their Christmas outfits purchased and was dying for photo’s of them in them! So to that end I had Jesse, Angela and their adorable twins Ruby and Leo into the studio yesterday for some photo’s.
