Grandma Clara’s Farm
While taking my sister's engagement photos at my Grandma's house in Sultan, I felt like a kid again! Going to Grandma's house was the best when I was little! As children, we got to see the owl in the silo, hang in the loft of the barn while playing hike & seek, ride the horses and drive the four wheeler in the fields! What great memories! Here are some fun shots of the farm after my sister's shoot was done.
It's Me! Just hanging on the fence... I Love those clouds behind me!
Testing lighting prior to shooting. Jared likes to goof around and be my sassy model. So handsome!!
Kyle & Kori Engagement Photos
This engagement session was very special to me because the bride-to-be is, my little sister!! YAY! We went to my Grandma's farm in Sultan, WA for the photo shoot. Kori looked so adorable in her cowboy boots! We lucked out with the weather and got some great shots. Kori & Kyle are getting married in Las Vegas in March! CAN'T WAIT!
Macro
Details, details, details! I love macro lenses for that purpose! I can walk around with a macro lens on my camera and all of the sudden, I'm officially the most entertained person in Seattle. I just walk around, shoving my camera up to things which are very tiny and...BAM!!! It's no longer a boring something, it's ART. See below. 
Is it summer yet?
Ok...I know it's only January, but I am completely looking forward to Summer! I was was reminiscing of last year and I came across a couple photos of my Grandma YaYa that I took. Jared and I visited her in California last year and had a great trip. She is my artsy, free spirit, Grandma and I LOVE HER! She was really confused why I wanted to take pictures of HER! She replied, "I'm ancient, why do you want photos of me?" I'm sure you'll all agree with me that she is so fun to look at (from her parasol to her flowy top) I think she is beautiful and I feel blessed to call her family. 
Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom Magazine
BRAG ALERT. Yes, I'm completely giving myself props right now. My photos are on page 30 of this month's Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom magazine. EVEN BIGGER BRAG ALERT, goes to Hans and Cat for being an amazing couple and taking the initiative to get their story/my photos in this publication. The editor's note on page 16 of the magazine tells about how excited she is about their wedding. I'M SO HAPPY!
Hans and Cat thought of every detail for their wedding and executed it without flaw. The biggest thrill was he designed and made her wedding dress! To see some of their photos click here.
Jeff & Karen Engagement Photos
This was an engagement session I did some time ago. BUT, now that I have a blog....I just want to post entries! These two were so fun to photograph and willing to put up with my odd suggestions! I've learned to embrace the umbrella as a trusty prop for Seattle photo shoots. Thank you both for allowing me to drag you around Fremont! Wishing you all the best!
Drive By Shooting
Over the holidays, we left Seattle to visit the Olympia area. We love being in the city, but visually, its nice to see the city from a different view. These photos were taken while driving home. I'm practicing shooting while in the car; don't worry Jared was driving, I was the passenger, haha.
