At three months old, baby Ray was a joy to photograph! He was so aware and curious of the camera lens. Big brother, Kai, and big sister, Tia, love this little guy! One of the best parts of photographing older babies is being able to capture their expressions. The smiles are the best. Here are some of my favorite images of Natsumi and Fraser's amazing family.

Tyson was such a champ on his first birthday photo session! We scheduled the session for a mid-day in the Arboretum. The rhododendrons were blooming and the sun was shining. We had lots of fun with a couple outfit changes for the birthday boy. Here are some of my favorite images of Tyson, Ayanna, and Ricky. Happy birthday, Tyson!
When Heather reached out to me with the concept of getting Grandma and Grandpa to dress up as Santa and Mrs. Claus (because Covid), I thought it sounded so fun! Who knew Evelyn would be scared of Santa even though she knew it was Grandpa? There were costume changes, lollipops and a walk to a swing. It was such a fun session! Here are some of my favorite images of Santa, Mrs, Claus, Matt, Heather, Ethan and Evelyn.
A sunny (and relatively warm) day in November in PNW is rare. Surprisingly we were able to time this family session perfectly on such a day! Jack and Ava are full of two year old energy and gave me a run for my camera. We did lots of running (away), looking for fish, and throwing pine cones. Here are some of my favorite images from Christina, Marcin, Jack and Ava's session.
When I drove over to Marymoor Park I wasn't ready for the frosty lawn. It was a chilly November morning but we made the best of it. Jenny, Jason, Hudson and Gigi were so fun to photograph and we found out that Gigi is quite the ham! Here are some of my favorite images from this cold session.
I've driven passed this spot many times, but forgot about it. Jessie wanted fall colors and I knew this would be it when I drove by it last week. The red trees were a perfect background to this fun family session. Here are some of my favorite images of John, Jessie, Caitlyn and Kellen.
It's no secret that a lot of my fall sessions have a lot of fall colors. I was so excited when Andi reached out to me to have a more urban/nautical feel during her family session. It was so fun to use the buildings and boats their session. Here are some of my favorite images of Scot, Andi, Bracey, Camden, Kaden and Banderas.
Senior sessions are so fun for me. Having a subject that actually stays still is definitely a change of pace from my normal sessions with little ones. I had a great time meeting and photographing Mercedes. She was very easy going and was willing to try anything during her session. I loved the variety we got during this session. Water, grasses, sunset...I loved it all. Congratulations Mercedes!
Sunsets at the beach are my favorite, especially when I'm able to photograph a family. Chris, Jennifer, Brielle and Cyland were so fun to hang out with and at the same time I captured some great family moments. Here are some of my favorites from this beach session in Edmonds.
Maren and Jill wanted to get some mother/daughter images during this fall session. Jill wanted to capture Maren in her element, playing her fiddle. In her Norwegian bunad, she gave us a concert at Magnuson Park. Maren is a talented 4th grader! Here are some of my favorite images from that session.I love summer sessions! The warm weather, pretty light, summery outfits, and crazy mosquitos? Yes, we fought lots of pesky mosquitos during this session with Erik and Wendi, but it was totally worth it for the pretty evening light. It's so fun seeing how big Cole and Greyson get each year I see this family. Enjoy some of my favorite images!
When Janice reached out to me to schedule a 40th birthday session, I was a bit nervous about the weather in February. It's been cold, rainy, and I knew she wasn't planning on wearing a lot of clothing. We found a day of no rain in the forecast (it did sprinkle for a few minutes), but it was cold. Janice was a champ and we were able to celebrate this special time in her life. 40 looks beautiful on you, Janice! Here are some of my favorite images from this session.
Fall in the PNW can be filled with very unpredictable weather. While waiting for the Tieck family, I walked around Magnuson Park and was very happy that the rain subsided. But then a rain cloud came in. We waited it out and I was able to get some great images of this family playing. The beauty of getting your family pictures taken this late in the year is that the kiddos got to play with ice! That's definitely a new one for me. Here are some of my favorite images of Kristina, Spencer, Skyler and Maisie.
The normal fall PNW weather finally showed up last weekend. We were able to fit Jenny and Jason's session in between the morning rain and afternoon Sounders match! I loved having this family in front of my camera, especially Hudson and Gigi. Gigi is such a happy baby and big brother, Hudson, is so in love with her! Here are some of my favorite images from this session.
We've had such a great fall! Lots of sunny days and very little rain. This Magnuson Park session started a bit later than we planned, but the golden light was amazing! The Castillo family always amazes me how comfortable and natural they are in front of a camera. Here are some of my favorite images of Ricardo, Maribel, Matias and Lucia.
I always say: "Beach is always a great idea!" When Emily suggested Golden Gardens for her family's photo session, I did not disagree. The beach is great all year long, as long as everyone is dressed properly. We were lucky to have a calm afternoon with no wind. Sebastian has grown so much in the last year. He has also, become a lot more mobile. He did a lot of walking and running. Here are some of my favorite images from this fall beach session of Roberto, Emily and Sebastian.
It was a chilly, fall morning at Bothell Landing last Sunday. Together with Hailey, Matt, Carley and Cameron we explored the bridge and the beautiful nature around us. The colors are definitely showing the golden glory and the kids loved searching for fun colored leaves. Here are some of my favorites from this session.
Hanging out with Jack and Ava is always a treat! They are one and so fun to observe. Ava, always the cautious one, who will make you work for a smile. Jack, the smiley, happy go lucky one. It was a windy and cold fall afternoon in Magnuson Park last weekend. We tried to keep warm with lots of hugs and cuddles. Here are some of my favorite images of Christina, Marcin, Jack and Ava!
The leaves are turning yellow and red, the rain is in the forecast, but last weekend we were playing in the Moran family backyard and not getting rained on! This family moved into their new home recently and wanted to capture some ways they are using their new outdoor space. We did lots of running, raking leaves, and leaf tossing. Here are some of my favorite images of Eduardo, Season, Jaylen, and Mateo.
It was a foggy and cloudy fall Sunday morning. Karen and Eric wanted to meet at a park that would really show that they made the big move from Seattle to Gig Harbor. It was a perfectly moody morning on the Gig Harbor waterfront. I am so thankful to be able to capture this family year after year, even if I have to drive a bit longer to do so. Here are some of my favorite images of Karen, Eric, Elena and Flynn.
When Allyson reached out to me for a last minute maternity/family session, I was happy to grab my camera and go! It was the perfect fall evening. Sunny, fairly warm, and a cute family! Karson, Shane, Allyson and Tessa are expecting a new addition in November...a baby girl. Here are some of my favorite images from the session.
I had the pleasure of photographing Callie last weekend. She is a special girl. Not only does she have loving parents, but a very helpful older brother, Lucas. This little girl was a champ and slept through a lot of her session. Congratulations to the Wham family on this sweet, new addition!
Nicole and I were playing hide and seek with the rain last weekend. We took a couple breaks to get away from the heavy sprinkles. The Mukilteo beach was the perfect spot for Nicole's senior portraits. There are so many different spots to pose in front of. I had so many favorites from this session it was hard to pick just a few to post here. Hope your senior year is the best, Nicole (and the rest of 2020 class).
Last weekend I met Emily and Lindsey's family in their yard for a fun back/front yard session. It was great to see this family again and try to get two adults, two kids, and two dogs to pose for the camera at the same time! I loved capturing this family including Emily's amazing green thumb. Here are some of my favorite images of Emily, Lindsey, Crosby and Lily.
Last weekend I met Diana, Charley, Charlotte and Frankie at Golden Gardens. After a couple weeks of great, sunny weather, we stumbled upon a cloudy morning. We had some fun with beach combing and bubbles. We made the most of a fairly chilly morning with lots of family snuggles. Here are some of my favorite images from this beach session.
