Jaymie & Paul | Engagement | Renton, WA

I first met Jaymie and Paul during this past fall for a seasonal mini session with their cute little one, Eli. We immediately got to talking about about their recent engagement and plans for a 2017 wedding. Before we knew it, they finalized a plan for a November wedding, with me on board!! I am so anxious for their big day. 

We recently met at Gene Coulon Memorial Park in Renton, WA. I think this day was the only clear and sunny day we have had for weeks and weeks. And, it didn't last... rain continues to pour on us every day after. Wow, did we get lucky!! It was a bit chilly, but they were troopers. They even brought Eli along for some cute poses. 

Congratulations, Jaymie and Paul!! Your big day will be here before you know it and I am so very excited to capture more memories for you. Enjoy just some of my favorites!!

Ethan & Family | 9 Months Old | Renton, WA

It has been 9 months already... Ethan is almost ONE and I have adored photographing him every few months since birth! This time, I got to get his mom and dad in many of the shots... long overdue!

We met at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton, WA. It was a beautiful, warm day, which made it very busy!! But, I loved the location and looking forward to shooting there again soon. 

Andrea & Michael | Engagement | Coal Creek Trail, WA

Andrea and Michael are getting married September 16, 2016 and I am so excited to be apart of their big day!! We met last week at Coal Creek Trail near Issaquah/Newcastle for their engagement session. I am so happy we could coordinate our schedules before Michael headed back to Australia, where he currently lives. 

These two were so fun to work with and we shared a lot of laughs. Enjoy just some of my favorites...

Khloe | Cake Smash | Maple Valley, WA

It has been a year since Khloe's newborn session and I cannot believe how big and CUTE she is!! Time goes by way too fast. I really just adore her and her extended family... so much that I fit Khloe in for a quick cake smash session the day Grandma inquired. Anything for a local, kind family!!

Khloe wasn't too sure about the madness taking place, but boy did she look so pretty. LOVED the colors we put together. Looking forward to working with this family again in the near future... we always have so much fun!!

Happy 1st birthday, Khloe!!

Elise | Cake Smash | Maple Valley, WA

What a busy month for cake smashes!! And, my last month doing indoor cake smashes. I definitely will miss these sessions. Especially since I make most of the cakes myself. I really enjoy baking and decorating cakes. I have finally gotten the hang of it, so I will have to continue experimenting on my free time... I have 3 boys who don't mind being my personal taste testers ;). 

Elise is celebrating her first birthday! I have thoroughly enjoyed photographing her the last year. I never got too many smiles from her during our times together, but she always has had the best eye contact. Although she liked taking bites out of the pompoms more than the cake, we had an awesome one year cake smash shoot!!

Archer | Cake Smash | Maple Valley, WA

Archer came in for his one year session a couple weeks ago and boy was he in high spirits!! He just had the greatest time, while keeping me and mom on our toes! So active, so happy. I think it is safe to say that he totally demolished his cake... even attempted to take bites out of the cake base!!!

Archer and his adorable family have definitely become one of my favorites the past year. I had the pleasure of first meeting them all when Archer was in mommy's belly for their maternity session. And, in the last year, I have enjoyed capturing many more memories for them. It is always a good feeling to have that constant support from client's no matter what road you may be on. I am looking forward to seeing their family grow through the years. 

Happy 1st birthday, Archer!!!
