Schulte Family // Magnolia
It is always fun to see how much kids have grown since the last time I’ve taken their pictures. I think taking family pictures is a great way to mark the passing of time – I just feel lucky that I’ve been able to take their photos twice now. These kids have gotten even more adorable over the past year – which I didn’t think was possible. I had a great time at Discovery Park – thanks for taking the time. Hopefully we can do it again next year! Enjoy!
One Year
Oh man… She’s one. I can’t believe it. It has been such a privilege to capture her through the lens of my camera multiple times in her first year. Additionally it has been great to see the love her parents shower her with grow and grow over time. You can completely tell that she has the both of them wrapped around her finger. For a glance back at her younger self - Precious Ruby. Friends thank you for the fun, the friendship, and allowing me to snap photos of little Ruby. Enjoy!
Swing
At the golf course the other day taking pictures and after we were done me and my son went to the putting green. This image makes me happy on so many levels. My son is happy, the weather was great, he was doing something that he thought was fantastic, and I got to stand there beaming as the proud parent. My husband jokes that if he one day becomes a pro golfer that this shot will be shown as an example of his early beginnings. Perhaps… but for now I will cherish it as a great memory and moment.
Simple gift
I was completely flattered. My husband and I were invited to a first birthday party for a friends son. We walked into the party and being me I had my camera slung over my shoulder and was asked by our friends to take some pictures to help capture the event. The request was completely flattering and instantly I tried to figure out how I would take pictures and run around after my son. Big thank you to my husband for handling the majority of that duty while at the party. I don’t even know if he got a piece of birthday cake! Luckily I was able to capture some nice moments – moments I hope that their son can look at when he is older and see how many people came to celebrate him on his 1 year milestone.
So I say thank you for asking me; during this holiday season it was a great gift. I hope that everyone receives and appreciates the simple gifts this holiday season. I’ll leave you with a shot of the birthday boy with this post.
My adorable niece
Had the complete joy of photographing my niece. She is pretty much too cute for words. She was also a very good sport while taking photos. She very much wanted to be doing anything but smiling for me. Her energy is completely contagious – my hope is that I was able to capture that! Thanks niece Bridgette… can’t wait to come and play again soon!
Hillsboro OR – Family Photos
Where to begin…? Erin has known me since my awkward teenage/high school years as I am good friends with her sister. But not until recently did we have much more in common than that. Within weeks of each other both of us were blessed to have premature baby boys. My son was six weeks early and If memory serves me, within two weeks of my son being born her baby boy was born ten weeks early. The four week difference between six and ten weeks is HUGE. Needless to say, over this little guy’s first year he has shown strength, tenacity and an incredible fiesty spirit as he has been in and out of the hospital. I have been able to follow their story over the last year via friends and their family blog. So when Erin and I were able to set up a time for family pictures I was so excited to see them and this little man which I have heard so much about.
This family just gets better – in addition to their amazing son they have an adorable little girl. This little girl is too cute – I basically did my best to keep up with her as she ran around the park. It was obvious that through the hard times they have endured as a family they have a closeness and a joy for life and each other which I was privileged to see. I had so much fun. Thank you for letting me share some time with the family – enjoy the images!

Family photos in Edmonds
I met up with some college friends on Saturday for a small family photo session. While they told me their daughter was not in her normal happy mood it was still a great time and good pictures. I know that they were worried that there weren’t going to be good pictures – but have no fear guys!
A girl has got to have her animal crackers
They were doing all they could to get their little one to smile. Got to love shots of the parents doing there best…
The shot below is by far one of my favorites. Such personality coming through. Leading the family through the park.
A little love for Daddy…
Hiking up the britches and heading home… Thanks guys. Had a fantastic time.
Almost Spring
There was a touch of sun and a hint of spring this past weekend in Seattle. With the change in the weather and season it’s a perfect time to start thinking about pictures and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery we have in the Northwest. Happy Spring Season everyone!
Fun in the Front Yard
Sometimes some fun in the front yard can result in the opportunity to capture a great moment with a child. I say that to encourage all to remember that a good photo or moment to remember is not typically staged. Sometimes all you need is a Tonka truck and grass.
Sunny & Cold at Alki Park
It was a little foggy, sunny, and a lot cold! A previous WaMu co-worker and her family ventured over from the eastside to head to West Seattle. All were bundled up for some pictures at Alki elementary School. The youngest was a little upset that he was braving the outside elements but he toughed it through for some good shots.
Being adventurous, they found a sweet old tree to climb into.
A good way to start the day… heard that they enjoyed a good meal at the Alki Cafe after our visit.
Adorable Girls
Had the privilege to spend some hours playing at the park on a drizzly overcast day. The rain did not stop these two from enjoying themselves.
Thanks for the fun girls! I had a great time!
Welcome & Thank You
Thank you for visiting. I hope you follow me as I journey into photography. I am a wife, and a mom of an adorable boy. Both my husband and son are my inspiration. I have always loved toting my camera with me wherever I go. For me photographs capture moments in time which communicate memories.
The path I’ve taken to get to this point, this first entry into my blog, has been inspired by family, friends, and a specific co-worker who encouraged the idea.
My goal is to provide quality photographs at a budget families can afford. If you enjoy what you see please leave a comment. Without further ado, welcome, thank you, and enjoy!
