We had such beautiful weather for this fall session in October. To top that off, our location was new to this family and they loved it! I’ve been photographing this little man and his family since he was roughly a week old. It’s been such a pleasure to watch him grow each year. He’s an incredibly kind and gentle individual, which is such a breath of fresh air these days. His mom and dad are doing an amazing job, and I feel so honored to photograph them each year.
Fall is always brighter when I get to see this family! Third time is a charm, as our first two sessions were postponed due to heavy smoke and then being cautious about a getting a cold. We ended up with a beautiful fall day in the Seattle arboretum. We found an area away from people, and I got to see the running skills of this little man. Plus play time with mom and dad. Also, while I can’t wait for us to live in a world without a pandemic, this kid was so cooperative about keeping his mask on, and then taking it off for some photos as well. There were plenty of hugs, running, swinging and general playtime, I love sessions that are this relaxed and fun.
I can’t believe this is the fifth year I’ve photographed this family, and Mr. D is already seven years old and in first grade! We had a warm and sunny day at the beach, and it’s the beginning of November! This family is fabulous with the best props, and check out their sweaters!
I was so stoked to photograph this engagement session. Jill takes great care of my dog and that’s how we met. I knew she was someone special when I saw her attentiveness post care after our dog underwent a major surgery. We quickly hit it off, and our dogs became friends as well. The first time I listened to Jill speak of her fiance, Jim, my heart knew they were an amazing couple. She went on and on about how after seven years, they’re still best friends, how supportive he is and was there for her in all the stress life can bring. He’s also an amazing dog Dad, so I knew we’d hit it off.
We had a blast during our session. I felt like we had our own private island, with ever changing fog and light. It was still, quiet and peaceful. I let these two lovebirds bask in their affection, friendship and enjoy the company of one another. They’re playful, engaged and incredibly in tune with each other. I can’t wait until their wedding later this year!
These two boys are energetic and playful with one another. Bubbles were a big hit, but aren't they with most children?! I love capturing the smiles and laughter in this family. The dog came along too, which I always love.
It's worth it to get to the beach before it's crowded, which I'll admit isn't that hard when it's November. This family is a gem, and these kids are so much fun! One is enrolled in an outdoor preschool, so she never minded the elements. The older brother has grown so much since I last saw him, and it's hard to believe he's already in kindergarten!
I first met this family a few years ago, when this boy was two. I see them each year before the holiday season, and so far it has always been a day that's really cold and dry. I wish I could have warmed this day up, as it wasn't even 40 degrees. This kid is a trooper and has such warm and loving parents. He's currently on the countdown until Christmas!
