I have been so fortunate to photograph this family each time they come home for the summer from Taiwan. This time we just couldn’t coordinate with Dad’s schedule so it became a mommy and me session! I was so excited when the pulled up and to see that the oldest son remembered me from last summer. By the middle of the shoot I was carrying one on my hip while shooting the other, tickling them both or trying to shoot with them in my lap. I loved it! I can’t wait to see them again next summer… this time perhaps we won’t have another muggy evening!

Yes, this brother and sister are THIS cute! The whole time photographing them I kept saying “I wish I was videotaping them too” so that you could see the personalities that go with these bring brown eyes! I can’t wait for the whole family shoot this fall!

I had so much fun meeting this family and spending the day at the park with them! When this little guy smiles- his whole face lights up!

I have had such a great year with newborns and this one is no exception! Sweet baby, relaxed first-time parents and a big, hairy, happy dog (who is the real baby in the house!). 

It was so nice to see the May family again and to see how their darling little girl has grown! I can’t believe that she is 1 now!

It was so great to see the DuVal family again and to meet their new baby girl! Her big brother was still the cutest thing ever and they are going to have so much fun playing together when she is older. This was one of those sessions where I had the hardest time choosing which pics to post… so I just posted a ton!

I love mommy and me shoots and I love these two girls!

I drove up to Seattle several weeks ago for Kelsey Andersen Photography’s workshop (she is known for amazing sun flares). Well all week and the night before it was pouring rain…. hmmm, how do we practice shooting in evening sun with rain? Well wouldn’t you know it, that morning the sky cleared up and it was perfect out. I wish I had light like this at every shoot!

I met up with Andrew, his family and extended family for a session, then afterwards he hung around for a senior session! Such a good sport!

I always love my sessions with the Reardon’s because there is constant laughing, well add in the grandparents and sister’s family and it never stopped!
