Mother's Day Mini #2

Mother's Day Sessions were so fun...and there was no exception when it came to documenting Sonja and Ryan. Sonja is a cousin of Jeannette, who's maternity, newborn and family photos I have taken this past year. I love it when clients are so excited about referring friends and family. Best compliment ever! ;)Ryan was a little leary of getting in the grass, but mom's sweet kisses gave him the courage. This was literally is first time laying in the grass. What a new world!
He was definitely curious with his surroundings...but oh, so cute at the same time.

Grass and weeds were definitely a delicacy today...and I'm sure the feel of it on his hands was just the coolest. From curiosity to ripping plants out of the ground and tasting them...took all of seconds. That's a boy for ya! ;)

Such a doll with those big brown eyes.

Thanks again Sonja for allowing me to document Ryan at 7 months and to capture some priceless moments. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! He's a lucky little boy!

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!
