Michele & Gabi {Novato, CA Family Photography}

It is hard to believe Michele and I both graduated from San Marin High School 10 years ago. She is now such a gorgeous mama to a beautiful little girl - Gabi. I happen to be in California for Thanksgiving so the Friday after we went up to St. Vincent's School for Boys and did a photo shoot. Let me take a moment to say how much I LOVED shooting in the warm California light and at St. Vincents. I need to do more shoots while down there! I had seen photos of Gabi on Facebook and always thought she would be such a great little girl to photograph. I mean, her eyes are just amazing!! I think they look like Disney princess eyes :)

Faith & Matt {Married} Seattle Wedding Photography

Just over two years ago I began as an independent contractor for Bella Baby Photography at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA. I met many amazing people while working at Evergreen including the beautiful Faith. She and I talked about me photographing her wedding even before she was officially engaged. Her excitement and joy to marry Matt began before he even popped the question - totally adorable! The day I got the email saying Faith and Matt were engaged I literally squealed (to my husband's astonishment). The three of us got together and talked more about me photographing their big day. I already knew I loved Faith and the moment I met Matt I could tell why she was so giddy from the get go :) They are just perfect for each other! Faith and Matt had their ceremony and reception at Matt's family home in Bow, WA. They had miraculously beautiful, sunny weather which here in the PNW is a huge accomplishment. Faith and Matt did nearly everything themselves. This is a total DIY wedding. When I found that out I was in awe. I could never pull of the amazing details Faith and Matt did without major help. Faith even made her and her bridesmaids' bouquets! Well I have talked enough! I am so excited to share this wedding with everyone. I apologize in advance for photo overload :)
