Wedding in Carmel, CA {Carmel Wedding Photographer}

I have been so excited to blog about this wedding!! I have dubbed it my favorite wedding of 2011. I was smiling with every click of my shutter - perfectly gorgeous bride and groom, awesome light, beautiful location (including sheep), and awesome guests. The bride and groom have asked that I do not post their names and some specific photos so there may be a few holes in the story line but there are plenty to see anyway!

Sweet, Special Adrianna {Portrait Photography Seattle, WA}

First, I have to say, I truly loved the hour I spent with Adrianna and her family. They are so warm and welcoming it felt like I have known them for years. I was introduced to Adrianna and her family by a friend of mine - Mimi. Actually, she was one of my baby sitters when I was a wee one in Southern California. We have stayed connected through Facebook. Mimi happened to see that I moved to the Seattle area and asked if I would donate a photo shoot to this wonderful family. Sweet Mimi was coming up to Seattle to help out this family for a while so we set up a photo shoot during her stay here. I LOVED seeing her again. It had been too long. She really is an angel. Anyway, I went out to Seattle Children's Hopsital. We lucked out with an absolutely beautiful evening. Though we were limited in locations where Adrianna's wheel chair would go we made it work! I feel blessed to have met this family and now Adrianna is continually in my prayers.

Derek is 8 months old! {Issaquah, WA Lifestyle Photography}

This is my third photo shoot with Derek. He just gets more and more adorable each time I see him. I love the age where they can sit up but aren't quite mobile yet. So adorable!! Derek was all smiles today unlike his last shoot. We played with bubbles outside before it started raining again. His parents had this awesome bubble machine. I need one. He loved those bubbles so much and not having to have some one blowing them was great! The dog loved them too :-)

Baby Emma is 6 Months Old {Renton Lifestyle Photography}

Everything about this shoot made me smile! Emma was just amazing as were her parents. Mom had cute little tutus and rompers for Emma. She was all smiles which makes my job easy. The only thing that makes Emma unhappy is being on her tummy. Apparently that is not her favorite. We put her on her stomach. She was happy for about 20 seconds and then realized what was going on. She then rolled over and was happy as could be. Silly Emma.
