Cute lil' punkins

Remember sweet baby Clara and her parents, Dean and Judy... here she is at 8 months old, visiting her first pumpkin patch...and she herself...is an adorable little punkin.

We braved the MUD, and more mud...and even more...to be able to enjoy a wonderful fall day amongst pumpkins, cornfields, and to get some fun family photos. Nothing like a crisp fall day with some apple cider, kettle corn, and picking out that perfect pumpkin.

Little Clara Bean sitting in the radio wagon...looking all cute.

But seriously, could she be any cuter than in her Halloween costume...Princess Lea?

Clara's first pumpkin patch trip was very 'serious'...

but she managed to have fun, and find some smiles...

and the smiles turned to giggles! Yeah!

Love this sweet moment of Judy and Clara, checking out the corn fields.

Thanks to Judy, Dean and Clara for allowing me the opportunity to join you at the pumpkin patch. It was a great fall afternoon and as always, great hanging out with you!

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 Cole

Mark and Jennette...excited and proud to be parents, welcomed a beautiful and healthy baby boy into the world at the beginning of October. Here they are before...

And here they are now...one happy family...welcoming their new son, Cole.

He is such a precious little guy...and so cute and teenie tiny.

Mom and baby...always a special bond.
No doubt this smile is just pure joy...with her little one snuggling up so sweetly.Dad, too, is all smiles when looking at his son...especially when making funny scrunchy faces ;).
Family time...

Congratulations again, Mark and Jennette! I'm so excited for the both of you and wish you all the happiness in the adventures ahead! And thank you for allowing me to capture Cole's first days. He's a Keeper! ;)

Elizabeth- Senior Photos

Elizabeth is a beautiful gal, whose family I've photographed over the past 2 years. I was super excited and honored to be able to take Elizabeth's Senior photos and since I already knew her personality...I immediately thought of heading to the train station in Snoqualmie for her session. She was all in! With a classy and fun style, we were able to compliment her beauty with some fun backgrounds and scenery. She rocked every photo!

Isn't she just stunning?

Congrats on your Senior year Elizabeth and best wishes for getting in to your school of choice (UW). Thanks again for such a fun day ... it truly was a blast! All my best to you!

Coming to town near you??? Family Portrait Season!

It's that time of the year again...crisp, cool air, colors changing, football season, and a reason to put on warm snuggly clothes. The change in seasons also brings families together, playing games, big dinners, enjoying each other's company while exchanging laughs, tears and memories of the year. As a portrait photographer, it's my privilege to be able to capture those moments together so that those memories will last a lifetime...and are wonderful to share with your friends and family...or to give as holiday presents.

If you, or any one you know, would like that special opportunity to document that family togetherness, please contact me at the below information.

Destination Portrait sessions are also available for:

Boise, ID (Oct 5-8)- evenings only

Portland, OR (Oct.17th)

Atlanta, GA (Oct. 28th & 29th, Nov. 2nd & 3rd)
