Samson the Model

This morning I was visited by Samson and his Momma Marcie. Even though we were totally interrupting his nap time he did a great job with all the stuff that we put him through. Their Christmas card is so cute... can't wait for you to get it in the mail!

Samson is now the new "Piano Man"!

Fall in the Studio

Just wanted to share this with you... I love this new sample of Kutter and Dakota fits right in with all the other fall decor right now!

Hazel Family Sneak Peak

Just got done with the Hazel family portrait session... what a great time! Here is one of the moments that makes me love fall even more!

I heart the San Juan Islands

In the mix of the busy season every fall I try to get away and meet up with my good ol' friends at the Professional Photographers of Washington Fall Conference. We meet at a different location in Washington and this year was Friday Harbor. And I think I feel in love. What is not to love about it? The picture above is me and my friend Laura on Snoqualmie Pass.
Just a few of wonderful views from San Juan Island Yacht Club.

One of the days we had the chance to get away and explore the island. We went to a lavender farm, saw cute houses, farms, lighthouses, and amazing fall colors.

And the end of our evening journey we found a restaurant open in Roche Harbor.... and it was the best meal ever!

Cute coffee shop!!!

The view from our hotel room the day we had to leave and go back to the real world!
I hope to make it back there to do some portraits!!

More....Pumpkin Patch Portraits!

This past week we have been spending time at the Country Mercantile creating some of my favorite portraits this year. I love fall and had a blast with all the kiddos! Here are just a few of the portraits we created.... enjoy!

Laura & Kyle 10.3.09

We spent a nice day with Laura & Kyle last Saturday. Their wedding day was filled with excitement and family togetherness. The bride was dressed in a beautiful drop waist, satin gown, and accentuated with her Great-Grandmother's antique diamond bracelet. The wedding's bronze and red hues complimented the crisp Autumn day and the changing colors of our beloved Eastern Washington leaves. Although the weather detoured the wedding location, the ceremony was still unique and all about Kyle and Laura.
Congratulations to Kyle & Laura Sannes on their unique and personal wedding day.

James and Elena's Wedding

James and Elena thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful day. Here is a sneak peak at a few of my favorite moments of the day! SOOO many more to come!






I love all the expressions in the background... having a great time. I would have to say this wedding is one where EVERYONE was dancing at one point or another. Good Times! ;)

I love James in this one.
