Puppy Love

During a fun mother's day mini session, Jacob had some stiff competition...his new puppy, Dory. Being an adorable golden retriever...I had to give her a little photo op. Here are the two of them playing together...new best friends! Running, jumping and hugging...big hugs. Like, Elmyra from tiny toons ("I'm going to hug you and squeeze you and love you to pieces....")

Little water play time

After all that hard work, nothing is better than a little rest in the shade.

Stay tuned for more Jacob photos.

Watch out Wall Street!

I had the best honor of being able to join Emily, her mom and sister at a gorgeous farm in Issaquah for Emily's SENIOR session. This isn't an ordinary senior session. See, Emily is 19 and never got to be a senior in highschool. She was on the fast track and started college at age 16. WHAAT? Yeah, that's what I said. Not only is she gorgeous, she's uber smart too. So, this senior session was a present from her mom, to honor her senior year at University of Washington, where she'll be graduating from in June. Straight out of college, she'll be heading to the Big Apple to work on WALL STREET. Amazing! I showed this picture to Emily immediately after I took it, and she said 'I love it! That's my favorite!' (I love it too Emily)Put your financial trust in with Emily, you could be living the high life ;).

A couple of business shots. I'm sure she'll put those boys on Wall Street to shame.

Simply stunning. Such a pretty smile and piercing blue eyes.

One of my favorite parts of the session was being able to photograph Emily with her favorite pets. I being a horse person myself, loved being able to capture the bond between her and her horse, Adobe. Love how both their eyes are closed, her hand on his chin. Such a sweet moment.

Everything about this photo makes my heart melt as well.

Probably one of my favorite photos of the day...however, so hard to choose. ;)

Thanks again Emily for allowing me to capture some fun memories and some beautiful photos of you, your pets, your sis (Melanie...below). You're such a sweetie and I know you'll have a blast in NYC. Best wishes for a successful career and make sure to call your mom often, I know she's going to miss you bunches!

Siblings!

On my trip to Atlanta, I was able to photograph some fun sessions....and this one came about through the magical world of facebook. A girl that I had gone to highschool with mentioned she loved my photography and if I was in town, would love to hire me. Having just got married (and having lots of photos already) she suggested to her husband to do a session with his siblings, as a present for his family. What a great gift! And what fun it was! Here are some of the cute presents they will be able to share with their family this year. Here's Mia...the cutest little barker! ;)

Thanks to you all for allowing me to photograph you family, and to be able to provide such a fun and memorable gift to your friends and family. Can't wait to share the rest!

Sweet gift to remember

My Aunt's good friend, Lisa, and her husband Tim are leaving the neighborhood and a house they've called home...for so many years. It's tough to move after building so many memories, strong friendships and sense of community. But that community...and those friends decided to come together and give them a sweet gift to remember...a family photo session. With their 3 kids, and the addition of Bradey (the golden)... here are some of my favorites. I love how this picture shows all 3 personalities. Brady, the cutest puppy!

Thank you all again for allowing me to come into your home and photograph your beautiful family. I wish you all the best with your move and establishing new friends and memories in B'ham!

Baby Clara- 2 weeks old

Baby Clara- now at 2 weeks old. I don't even think I need to explain how cute she is and what a joy she has brought to everyone's life.

Sweet little grins

She looks like she could come out of the cocoon and spread her wings.

Bishop, such a great big brother...carefully watching over his lil' sis.

Happy baby and happy family.

Thank you again Dean, Judy, and baby Clara (Bishop too) for allowing me to document this amazing time in your lives. Such an honor!
