Session Type:  Event Photography

Session Location:  Seattle, WA

When I got the email from Allison at The Party Dialect about her son's second birthday party I was super excited.  I love her blog and her Etsy store and I knew that the party was going to full of amazing details.  I was definitely not disappointed.  The train themed party was styled perfectly and you could tell that the party guests were just as impressed as I was! 

My favorite details included the custom Leutner Railways logo, the bright water colored cake and invitations, the personalized favor bags and the different food "stations" - the filling station, the libation station and the hydration station (so creative).   And check out those giant letter balloons!  I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering some of those for my own kiddos birthday later this year!

With an unusual sunny weekend in the forecast I convinced my family to take a quick drive up to the Mount Vernon area for a trip to the tulip fields.  If you haven't been up there yet, I highly recommend it.  It really is amazing to see the thousands upon thousands of tulips blooming. 

If you do decide to go, be sure to go early.  We were there just after sunrise and by the time we left at about 8:00 am, there was already a mild back-up on I-5!

Interested in a spring session for your family?  Contact me for more information!

Session Type:  Hospital Newborn "Fresh 48"

Session Location:  Providence Everett

Baby Brody Michael was born on October 3rd, 2015.  He is such a lucky little guy because there are SO many people who already love him - particularly his big sister!  One of the things I love about hospital newborn photography is being able to witness and capture everyone's reaction to the new baby.  I love the looks of wonder and authentic emotion that everyone seems to have when holding a tiny newborn.  The first couple of days of life are like no other. 

Session Type:  Lifestyle Newborn Photography

Session Location:  Skagit County

I just love natural photos of tiny little newborn babies.  When a new mom cuddles up with her baby and I get to capture it, I feel like I'm part of something truly special.  This session also included a new big brother and although he was a typical toddler and a bit camera shy, he sure did love to look in on his new baby brother. 

I don't take many senior photography sessions but this one was special because I've known Kelsi since she was just around 4 or 5 years old!  I'm so glad that I had the chance too because I had so much fun.  Kelsi was great - she was super comfortable in front of the camera and she loved trying new things.  She's a beautiful girl, both inside and out and I'm looking forward to seeing her tackle the world in the next few years!
