December 1, 2011Way back in October, I took my three big girls out to play a bit before the cold weather hit for the year. Little did I know we would have multiple warm spells in the weeks following. It was so fun to go out without a plan and just have some fun capturing them at this age–awkwardness, missing teeth, teeth we have yet to grow into, giggles–it’s all part of childhood.
My littlest big girl:
My middlest big girl:
And my biggest big girl:
A little jumping fun–their favorite part:).
1, 2, 3… wait… 1, 2… no, jump on 3… 1, 2, 3… oh, never mind.
From the bottom of my heart–love you girls!

September 20, 2011One of my biggest photo priorities was to get images of Eva with her Daddy and her siblings, so that became the goal for days 10 and 11. I thought briefly of trying to get a group shot of all the kids, but I had already arranged for the supremely talented Brittany Woodall of Baby as Art in San Diego to come and photograph Eva. I decided to leave the impossible shots for her. And she got them–you can see them and all of her other beautiful work with Eva here.
In the meantime, I photographed all of my sweet people with my newest little person. Warms my heart:).
Eva, 10 days:
11 days:
Now, how to get a sibling shot with a not-quite-two-year-old who is not so sure about this new baby sister (as in, he wouldn’t even look at her for 2 or 3 days)? I shot 5 frames in 30 minutes and 2 ended up being keepers. But they make me giggle:).
Could I be any luckier? I don’t think so:).
I first met darling Anna a year and a half ago for her own six-month portraits, and was so excited to hear that I would be meeting her baby sister Molly for the same reason. It’s always such a joy when clients come back and I can see how much they’ve grown, individually and as a family. Such an adorable family!
Darling baby Molly:
Big sister Anna, all grown up:
Molly and Anna, thank you for coming to see me! It was so great to see you again!

August 6, 2011Finally. And looking forward to not traveling and just nesting from here on out:). Although, I did have the most wonderful month meeting new friends, reconnecting with old friends, seeing my family, and traveling the world. I just wanted to share a little bit of what I was up to over the month of July.
First, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a workshop with 19 other fabulous photographers in the Bay Area of California (there we are!).
As a part of that workshop, we photographed some absolutely beautiful families at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. It was truly a gorgeous place to shoot.
I tend to forget I am pregnant while shooting–even at 32 weeks:).
After less than 17 hours after returning to Seattle from San Francisco, I headed out with the Pinhole Press team to Kinsale, Ireland. If you haven’t checked out Pinhole Press, you need to. They offer the most beautiful, well-made products that you can make with your digital images. Kinsale was amazing, our hosts from Pinhole Press were amazing, and the other photographers on their team are simply amazing as well.
Some shots from around the town of Kinsale, including our tour guide Barry, who you couldn’t help but just love.
Images from our walk to and visit at Charles Fort in Kinsale (plus my darling roommate Li Ward of Fat Orange Cat Studio):
Blarney Castle, where you can kiss the Blarney Stone to gain the gift of gab (which I didn’t attempt to do in my pregnant state–although, I think my family, friends, and clients will agree that I already have that gift in spades;) ):
We ended the trip with dinner at Old Head, a breathtakingly beautiful golf course on the coast of Ireland (recently rated the #1 most spectacular golf course in the world by Links magazine):
As much fun as I had, I am glad to be home, glad to be done with sessions for a while(I have two more blog posts to come), and glad to be able to (hopefully) catch my breath before my own sweet baby girl makes her arrival. I can’t wait!
Finally, a big thank you to our workshop sponsers:
