This girl and her papa. We had so much fun playing in the cherry blossoms this spring! My favorite thing about these photos is that they truly capture the special bond these two share. The joy and love that infuses their every moment together.

Photos make the best gifts, don’t they? If you don’t believe me, just ask these cuties’ grandparents! Ever since they were born, mom and dad have made documenting the twins’ stories one of their top priorities.
Read moreLITTLE C + GRANDMA - AT HOME SESSION
What a special session Little C’s mom and dad imagined! Little C’s great-grandma was visiting from out of town, and it was the perfect opportunity to invite her to play in his brand new room. Great-grandma is pretty good at reading, but she needed an introduction to Curious George. And, she’s pretty good at soothing tears, too. What sweet, sweet moments these two shared together.
Read moreMOMMY & ME SESSION - UW CHERRY BLOSSOMS
It seems that everyone in Seattle patiently follows “bloom watch,” and arrives at the University of Washington at the exact moment the cherry blossoms hit full bloom! It’s especially crazy when those full-bloom days fall on the weekend, as they did this year. To beat the crowds, Momma, Miss B, and I arrived on campus just after sunrise.
Read moreF FAMILY - ALKI BEACH
I met the F family on a late summer morning in West Seattle. Little F is best friends with one of my favorite 5-year-olds, and they even share the same birthday! Little F and I had a great time playing in the sand, building sand castles, and stomping them back down (okay, just Little F did that part!).
Read moreWELCOMING BABY P - AT HOME SESSION
It’s always a special treat to take photos for my closest friends. While I can always imagine the joy that my clients are celebrating with their photo session, I know first hand the joy that my dear friends are experiencing. That was certainly true with this session!
Read moreMISS B TURNS TWO! - GAS WORKS PARK
Miss B’s momma is my oldest friend — we have been friends since we were 5 years old! I loved photographing Miss B’s first birthday party last year, and can’t believe just how much she’s grown in the last year. While her birthday isn’t for two more months, we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful summer sunshine.
Read moreMISS R TURNS TWO! - KELSEY CREEK FARM
Meet one of my favorite families! Miss R’s momma and I became fast friends at our last job, and I have loved watching her story unfold — attending her wedding to Mr. Y and watching their sweet little daughter join their family. Miss R’s first birthday session last year remains one of my very favorite sessions. This year, to celebrate Miss R’s second birthday, we visited Kelsey Creek Farm.
Read moreK FAMILY - PERCIVAL LANDING
This was a special session for me. Now, don’t get me wrong, all of my sessions are special! But this one was especially sweet. Mrs. K and I have known each other since elementary school, but haven’t seen each other in almost 15 years! She’s been one of the biggest supporters of my photography, and I’ve treasured our Facebook friendship for years.
Read moreW FAMILY - OLYMPIC SCULPTURE PARK
Looking at these photos makes me both happy (mostly!) and sad (a little). The W family moved to the Bay Area just a few days after our session, and I miss my friend Mrs. W already! Mrs. W and I worked together for a little over two years, and I could always count on her for a smile and a kind word. She is one of the most energetic and creative women I know, and the office just doesn’t have the same energy without her.
