"L" Family {Mill Creek, WA Family Photographer}

Baby "J" really knows how to make a photographer happy! She could not stop smiling. It was a gloomy, rainy day here in the PNW so we were stuck in doors with limited choices but her smile made up for it. Add the beautiful dogs - mom and dad's first babies - and you have the perfect family. I can't wait to photograph baby "J" when she turns one!

Landen and Family {Seattle Family Photographer}

A photo shoot is successful only when I go home with sand in my pants. I met Landen and his parents at Golden Gardens in Seattle. We are in the middle of a beautiful stretch of weather but the day of our shoot there was a chance of thunder storms. If you looked at the sky in one direction it was a beautiful sunny sky - the other direction not so much. We went ahead with the shoot and despite those ominous clouds and the thunder and lightning we only got rained on for about 2 minutes! Baby Landen could not have been more adorable. He apparently needs to spend more time at the beach because he was loving those coastal breezes. What a grin he has! Though he was a bit unsure about the sand he eventually dug right in. I can't wait for my next shoot with this beautiful family when Landen turns one!

The "H" Family at Luther Burbank Park {Mercer Island Portrait Photographer}

I photographed the "H" family last summer when their little boy was 8 months old. This time we headed to Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island. They brought along two of their dogs. These dogs are so well trained!! I have never seen dogs that listen so well. Not to mention they were adorable as well :-)
