One of the best feelings in the world is when you hug someone you love, and they hug you back even tighter!
Photoshoot with Elise Woodward
Such great photoshoot with Elise Woodward for the Coach Petersen Radio Show sponsored by the Ram Restaurant & Brewery. Elise's husband once told me, he knew he was in love with Elise when he saw her throw a football! Take a look at the second image, that was honestly one of the biggest burgers I have ever seen. Thank you Elise for a great afternoon, you are truly a pleasure to work with!
Blessed for my clients
I am so blessed to have the clients I have. I have become very close to the Coote family over the years, enjoying our friendship, playing soccer and relying on Georgie's reflexology to keep me focuses. I have also had the opportunity to watch these girls grow behind the camera lens. Lucy is a few inches taller than me and Katie is the master nomb finder in Evans Creek (even though there is a sign stating no more nombs). Every time I spend time with this family I feel excited and rejuvenated to forge forward with photography.
A huge thank you to the Coote family for being a part of my life.

Saint Patrick's Day

Building Hope
Last weekend I had the most wonderful opportunity to work with Project Grace Guild in photographing there 6th Annual Charity Auction "Building Hope," benefiting Seattle Children's Hospital. Not only was the event fabulous, but it filled my soul to see how generous our community is. Thank you everyone who gave hope to many young children.
Baby love
Look at the red hair on this one! This little baby was so precious and is growing so quickly.
Super Bowl XLVIII
The love and laughter this family has is intoxicating! I know I have post images of them before but with the Seahawks winning Super Bowl I needed to share more. I hope you enjoy this video and feel the energy of this fabulous family.

Cannon Beach
One of my favorite beaches with one of my all time favorite families.
Diane and I have been friends since we were 3 years old. There is nothing like a friend who knows absolutely everything about you. One of our favorite things to do in California was to go to the beach. We played in the surf, built castles and just had a ton of fun. This particular sunny weekend at Cannon Beach brought back such wonderful memories for the two of us, watching our children do all the things we used to do. These photos have inspired me to go through the old photos and find a shot of us at a similar age.
The boys could not get out of the surf, despite the freezing cold temperatures.
And all of them loved goofing around in the sand, even Helen the dog in the background.
Happy New Years!
Happy New Years! My goal this year is to create and share an interactive photo a day challenge! I hope you join me this year in cultivating photographic magic.
Everyday magic!
I love being a lifestyle photographer capturing life as it truly unfolds. This wasn't your ordinary family photo session :-)
