I am excited to share this photo shoot with the world. Anyone who knows me personally knows that I LOVE my pooch; I have even been accused of spoiling him from time to time!!! So therefore, the individuals who take fantastic care of my crazy animal hold a special place in my heart.

I want to introduce you to Pet Sounds, a Seattle based dog-walking company. We love Taylor and David & were excited to help them celebrate their anniversary as a company.

Thanks for taking such good care of our Tinsly.

Happy Friday-

Monica and I love this time of year.   Living in Seattle the transition from Winter to Spring is painfully subtle, but each time I see a daffodil rise out of the soggy soil or gaze at the cherry blossoms in full bloom I am reminded of the importance of change, growth and cycle and how that effects our daily life and perspective.

As many of you already know, Mo Hines Photography is also transitioning, growing and expanding. We are beyond excited to have teamed up with Tyler Dow http://tylerdow.com/ in a collaborative effort to re-brand and re-design our vision www.LightandSoundphotography.com.  Tyler has been majorly influential during this transition, and we can’t thank him enough.

Speaking of collaborations, we recently teamed up with uber talented Jenn Elliot Blake.   Jenn approached us with the idea of starting a food blog/ project that would promote the hard working farmers and food artisans in the Pacific Northwest.  Mon and I are thrilled about this project, not only do we get opportunity to work hand in hand with Jenn, but we get to express what we love about food and share it with you all.

This is the inaugural post of our portion of this exciting series  named, “Fortunate Feast”.   See how Jenn came up with the name and read about her vision on her stunning blog “A Blog Named Scout”

“Fortunate for the blessing of friendship; fortunate for the ability to create and be inspired without limits; fortunate to be sharing in the beauty AND blessing of food with people whom I admire and love; fortunate to be eating locally sourced and grown healthy food options; and fortunate to be watching all of this come to life.” ~ Jenn Elliot Blake

Gather, prepare, & eat well

Until then here is a recent Engagement session with a beautiful couple. We were given the opportunity to capture Nawid and Kelly’s love of Seattle, The Sounders, and most importantly their genuine love for each other.

In getting to know this couple on a more personal level we really wanted to be able to capture their individual personalities  while also tying in their fun dynamic as a couple.

We thought Discovery Park & Ballard would be a perfect backdrop for this fun and engaging couple. In our opinion the perfect place to end a great photo session is over Sushi, something that the two of them love to do together.

fun with iPhones   ….
