Neither Rain Nor Snow ...

... would get in the way of us getting beautiful family portraits taken today!!

I have to admit I was a bit nervous when I woke up to an inch of snow on the ground this morning but the cloudy skies and wet wood bridges resulting from the crazy weather actually made for great backdrops. S: I am so glad we powered through the uncooperative -- and cold -- weather as our time together resulted in some fabulous portraits. I think and hope you will love them. I had a great time and loved that I got a chance to see a different side of K today. So silly, funny and chatty! Best of all, I could really see how much love and sweetness there is in your little family.

As I previously mentioned, I won't be able to proof and process your photos until I return to CA. But I just had to post a couple of fun pics for you to see and get an idea of what you have in store for you.


I love this little moment in time. I can totally hear you guys laughing and giggling with each other.

Not Enough Time

W: It was so great to see you and all sides of your immediate and extended family (both your side and C's) last week. I really loved spending time with you. The only downfall to this visit is that I now yearn for more time with you to do more of what we did - play at the park, cook delicious meals, drink wine, talk, laugh, reminisce. Thanks for sharing part of your precious vacation with us.

Beautiful Day + Beautiful Children (in adorable clothes) =

Awesome Portraits!!!

B: I had so much fun with you, your kids and your mom during our photo session the other day. I'm not quite done processing the photos from your session yet, but I know you're dying to see some photos, so ... here are a just few samples to (hopefully) tide you over until your full gallery is ready for your review. As you can see below, your kiddos are GORGEOUS! And rest assured, this is just the tip of the iceberg. You will have many more in your gallery. The tough part will be narrowing down the selections. But that is definitely a good problem to have, right?

Sneak Peek!

Just returned from a FUN trip up to Seattle to celebrate the impending arrival of my friend's little bebe. It was also an opportunity for me to do some photo shoots! I was really excited for these sessions, but at the same time, extremely nervous. These are lifelong friends of mine so it was really important for me to do a good job for them. I was especially nervous about M, since I have NO experience in maternity shots. But I think there might be one or two keepers in the mix ...

Speaking of M, it was SO much fun to see her perfect little belly ... and it was no surprise that she was as sassy as ever. We spent some time together on Friday and I got to take photos of that cute belly of hers. Here's a sneak peek of a few shots I got. I decided I had better NOT post any bare belly shots without approval (or I might get shot!) but it somehow seemed alright -- fitting, even -- to post a few shots of my dear sweet M in a cute little boutique where she purchased an awesome (hot pink and metallic silver, I might add) handbag. After all, she is the sassiest pregnant mom ever ... might as well show her in her element! Hee hee.



I also got to spend a lot of time with S's sweet family over the weekend. It was my first time meeting her newest little member, baby A, who is adorable and sweet as can be. I've got a ton of photos to go through -- and it will take me a while -- but I thought I'd post a couple of sneak peeks for her as well. S, you will definitely have some cute portraits to choose from. (No surprise, given how photogenic and gorgeous your family is!).
