With Spring time now in full bloom Seth and I are both reminded of how blessed we are to love the city we call home, love the individuals we journey with while having the opportunity to work with amazing and talented people.

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.

And of corse do not forget to check out Dog Treat Recipe Exchange: this is where Taylor got the recipe for a Peanut Butter Delight Puppy Birthday cake.  The pups LOVED it!

I love to watch babies grow. I feel so honored to be able to capture these priceless moments.  I love this family!

Mo Hines Photography is going through some very exciting transitions this year, stay tuned for more on that.

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.

We had the honor to photograph Chase and Maria while celebrating their engagement in Ballard this past summer.

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.

A little Curious George, with some London love in Seattle fall colors

have a beautiful weekend

This specific family is near and dear to my heart.  Juliet gave me the honor to photograph the beauty of maternity and the precious newborn moments a few months later.  Now as Juliet and Justin transition away from Washington to Davis CA, I  was able to capture their last week in Seattle.

love you guys!! Seattle misses you!

Let me just put it short and sweet, September in Seattle has been stunning.

The other day I came across a great quote; “love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination” – Voltaire.  After contemplating the powerful imagery within the quote, it made me think of a beautiful outdoor wedding that we had the amazing privilege to shoot in May.

Katelyn and Michael were married on Whidbey Island, WA.  It goes without saying that south Whidbey Island is an ideal and scenic location to exchange wedding vows.  This sleepy island in the middle of the Puget Sound also happens to be the backdrop for Katelyn and Michael’s love story.  This amazing couple met and fell in love on the Island in High School, so it truly was the perfect location to celebrate their big day.

In getting to know Katelyn and Michael and learning their love story, we were both blown away by how unselfishly they supported each other’s journey even when multiple states and schools physically separated them. They came together on this day in May 2012 to commit their love to each other and it was truly beautiful.
