It is hard to believe another year has come an gone! I had so much fun capturing so many new babies, families and moments this year. I cherish all of my clients and am thankful for another great year doing what I love!! Thank you and I hope to see you in 2013!

I know “they” say time flies when you are having fun, but they should really say time flies when you have kids!! I know it seems like I blink and another year passes. Not sure how it has been a whole year since I first met this little lady when she was just days old. I have been lucky enough to watch her grow over the past year and I have to say that is one of my very favorite parts of this job. I love seeing these babies grow and reach milestones. It is so much fun for me!!

Luckily we caught a break in the weather and were able to utilize the lovely fall colors (thanks to my backyard and a ton of leaves that have dropped from our tree). I just love these images and the personality they show, Miss Claire has the greatest expressions!! Happy Birthday!!

There is nothing like the excitement of your first pregnancy, or like summer in the Pacific Northwest. Combine the two, and what do you get? Perfection, that’s what. Take the perfect location, amazing lighting and a glowing mommy-to-be and I feel like I hit the jackpot!! Our gorgeous cousin is growing her little family (and ours) with a new addition next month. We took advantage of a warm summer evening and I am so thrilled with the result. I could have shot all night!! I squealed with delight after every click and when I finally got home and viewed the finished product, I could not narrow down my favorites, always a good problem to have.

Kelci and Casey, I am SO excited to meet your little one next month. Thank you for being good sports and humoring me when I said “let’s go to a random field off the road, I promise it will be great!” And guess what…it was! 🙂 xoxo

I was so excited when this cutie’s mommy called and asked if I would take some pictures of her sweet girl who was turning one. In true Seattle fashion, we were rained out on our first attempt, and this second attempt was questionable at the beginning. But the weather held out and we had fun chasing her around! This little girl is on the go and so sweet! Happy Birthday little Miss A!! Thank you for allowing me to capture this special time for you!
