Seth and I had the pleasure of meeting this couple last year and I never had the chance to blog about it, now the wedding count down is on. They are getting married next month in Carmel CA and we cannot wait. They were so much fun to photograph and we are excited to photograph them again on their big day. Congratulations Mike & Mary!

Our beautiful couple was from out of town so we took them to some favorite Seattle spots. If you live in Seattle and have not been to these spots they are a must…..

Happy Thursday…..

It has been a little while since I have had time to post a new session, but I am back from the blogging dead.

Today I am sharing with you a special session. It is special to me because as many of you know I am a Labor and Deliver RN. For this family I was at the birth of this beautiful little one and then a few weeks later had the absolute pleasure of meeting the family as a whole and capturing some really fun moments they shared.  Fun with welcoming spring time to Seattle. Thank you so much to the Delano family for allowing me to be part of these moments.

Recently it has been a rare occasion to have a Saturday off together, we have both been so busy the last couple months. This Saturday was different and we took advantage of our day off. Starts off with sleeping in, drinking our morning caffeinated beverage yerba mate’.  Yep I guess there is a little Argentina in me and I embrace it!

Seth and I love to explore the Seattle food scene whenever we have the chance and today we visited one of our favorite Seattle chefs Tom Douglas. Now for those of you who live in Seattle if you have not experienced him DO. He has lots of Seattle favorites; today we chose Seatown and had yet another amazingly fantastic, delicious lunch. We wandered around downtown and I grabbed a coffee (how very cliché’ of me indeed). We must always stop in our favorite store in Belltown, (Patagonia). Do you ever go into a store and feel a scenes of familiarity, home and warmth? I feel this way when I go into Patagonia, it reminds me of those beaches in sleepy Ventura CA. I spent lots of time on those beaches as a kid and this is where I go when I step into Patagonia.

We then come back home to our awesome Vizsla, Tinsly. He is the cutest!

*Happy Saturday

thanks for lookin! xo

Hi there and Happy Monday!!!

Today I have for you one of my favorite types of sessions. Photographing bellies and babies is how I got started in this photography business world. Being that I moonlight as a labor and delivery nurse I have an affinity for both the beauty of a mother’s tummy and that little life that awaits inside.

The first part of this shoot I partnered with Jenn Blake from “bow tie & bustle”.  Jenn came up with the concept and design for this super fun “bun in the oven” inspired theme. See more of Jenn’s work at www.bowtieandbustle.com.  We were also featured on “On to Baby”  a cute blog about all things lovely for moms and babies.

When little Sophia came I was able to photograph a few more gorgeous moments for this beautiful family.

What is a “trash the dress session”?  Don’t worry brides, it’s not throwing your dress in the mud and letting a truck run over it! It is a celebration of the moment, it’s a time to get back into your wedding attire and have a romantic moment that is real and raw.

This couple happens to be celebrating 2 years of marriage and they still have that sparkle. We had the opportunity to have this shoot on the 1ST Seattle sunny day of 2011.

When the sun came out in the morning Seth conceptualized our day with Ben and Jess. With their personalities we wanted to capture the light coming through a huge window of an old building. Seth chose Union Station in Pioneer Square and we were fortunate enough to have a few moments of solitude within the building. The moments we were able to capture were quite and calm.  Here are a few images from the first half of our day. Stay tuned for the second half of our day as Seth’s vision continues on a sunny day in Seattle with this gorgeous couple.

-Thank you Ben and Jess

We love and adore you both!
