i love sun setting light! that’s why i schedule most of my sessions in the evening – especially in the summer. we were so lucky to get the most gorgeous light for this session on what was most likely the last hot day of the summer. i am so sad to see the summer come to an end! i will soon be posting my CHRISTMAS session dates if you can believe it, so watch out for those!

dallin graduated from kindergarten!! now he spends his days building legos and riding his bike. it’s a rough life!
i just got back from a week and a half trip to oregon. my family had a reunion as we welcomed my baby brother home from a two year mission. we also celebrated olive’s first birthday, went hiking to some beautiful waterfalls, went to the beach on a sunny day, plus i got to take pictures of this fun family!! if you follow me on facebook you know that i did a giveaway once i reached 100 fans. betsy won that giveaway and this is a sneak peek of her FREE session!








of these precious newborns.
after a long winter, doesn’t 70 degrees feels hot?! this afternoon my kids put on their swimsuits and filled up their little pool. for hours they splashed around and played with water balloons, and they never got cold. it made me so excited for summer! we have had the best weather for sessions lately including the day i photographed this beautiful family. we did their session at luther burbank park on mercer island, and had a lot of fun walking along the water and finding great spots for pictures.









this boy. he has had my heart since the day he was born. we had a picture date last night, and having one on one time made me fall in love with him all over again. he is such a charmer, very sweet, and so curious about everything. he planned the meal (first course: chocolate milkshakes) and picnic location (at a park on top of the play structure) and i got to take as many pictures of him as my heart desired. it was fabulous. he asked if we could go on a date every night. oh i wish we could!






but next time i’ll leave my camera at home!
we had such perfect weather for this session and a great location on the UW campus. combine good weather with lots of space to run around, and this cute 15 month old just wanted to go, go go. luckily, i have a fast camera that can keep up with fast moving kids!



on the go… again!




this one just makes me happy
