I met Rachel, a fellow photographer, on my Facebook page a few months ago when I did a casting call for a personal project. And she has the cutest twin girls I’ve ever met!!

Can there be two more beautiful people? And they are making a baby!

A brisk but sunny fall afternoon. My dear friends, the UW and several rolls of Kodak Ektar. Bliss!

You’ve seen this family more than once. That’s because they’re awesome.

These guys make my heart ache with envy and happiness at the same time.How cute are those kiddos?

I’ve photographed Stella since she was a wee newborn. Now she’s a young lady who “reads” and “bakes eggs” and draws and tries to groom her momma and zips up her own jacket and rides her trike down the street.

I love summer mornings – and morning sessions. The anticipation of a new day coupled with the rare Seattle sunshine just makes summer that much sweeter. And blogging this as fall rolls in with clouds and lower temps makes me appreciate it more!

Two beautiful girls - dad is in trouble! :)

I love the color and vibrance of fairs – but not the prices. These things are serious money pits, aren’t they? Sheesh.

It’s the beautiful secret that is Camp Korey, a summer camp for kids with serious illnesses and special needs.

I photographed the lovely Raquel and her boys two years ago and had such a fun time. So happy to do this for you again, Raquel.

Every summer, a group of our closest friends and my family pack our bags and head for vacation somewhere by the Pacific ocean or the Puget Sound. This year, it was Lopez Island. Here’s a pictorial account of our little trip.

Cori and her family had a farewell photo session at their home in Monroe, right before they moved to Maryland. I suggested my new Rise and Shine session, and they loved the idea. I love Cori’s girls and dad Carl is always a good sport, despite it being the wee hours of the morning.

Before we get to the pictures, let me just tell you about my friend Amy. In short, she is one heckuva trooper.

A beautiful summer evening with a Scottish lass.
