You may remember Shari and Kyle from their engagement session that we covered back in January in Seattle. John and I had the pleasure of capturing their wedding last week at King of Kings Lutheran Church in Renton. The reception was held at the Meridian Valley Country Club and was just beautiful. Here are some of our favorite images from their special day.

Shari, the modest sweetie she is, I don’t think had a clue of just how beautiful she looked. But as you can see... these pictures speak for themselves!

Congratulations Shari and Kyle! John and I are honored to have shared in your day.

My beautiful cousin Silvia lives in Oregon where she's a live-in nanny for a wonderful family! She had a few weeks off and made her way to Seattle to spend some time with her family and friends! I was so excited to get the chance to spend an entire day with my beauty of a cousin and of course, being a photographer just had to get her outside for some pictures!

If these locations looks familiar, it's because it's Gene Coulon Park and it's just across the street from our house... so I use it often! :-) Also, Ive used this opportunity to "play" with some of these pictures a little bit during post processing, so the look of these may be a little less than "traditional". Completely intentional however. Hope you enjoy!

So you may be looking at our blog and thinking to yourself, "hmm... somethings looking different!?!" You are correct! John has been working on updating the look of our blog. In fact, we have spent a lot of time over the past few weeks getting ready to re-do or update all of our stuff including our website! So be on the look out for a new look with our blog as well as our website.

Thank you for being patient while we are undergoing all of our updates. There shouldn't be any disruption with the blog or web page (thank goodness, haha) however thank you for your patience during our transition! We would love any feedback or comments from you! :)

I can't tell you just how excited I was to shoot Sarah's senior pictures! Sarah was one of the 15 members to go on the Mission to Mexico trip we took in March. Sarah told me when we were on our way to Mexico that she had not yet gotten her senior portraits done... that's all I needed to hear! :) I gave her a card and told her that we would have to set something up this Spring!

Well, Spring has sprung (in a Seattle sort-a-way) and it was time for some pictures!!! We had a little bit of a scare the morning of, since it was doing well, what Seattle does best, RAIN! However it cleared up and we were able to get to it! This girl is just beautiful and I am having so much fun going through each of her pictures. There are tons of awesome pic's however I will now share with you some of my favorite from her shoot.

I know, your probably thinking, it's about time we get some images up from our Seattle shoot. :) John and I have just been swamped with work since returning from our latest trip to Las Vegas. We had been gone for most of the month of March on various trips and now that we are home, our work is not letting us forget just how much there is to do.

A few weeks ago John and I met up with some awesome Seattle photographers to spend the day taking pictures around Gasworks Park in Seattle. It was a beautiful day and we ended up with some just as beautiful models, men, women, children and one of my favorites a beautiful family of 4, my brother, sister in law and adorable niece and nephew.

Here are some of our favorite images from that day

My brother and his fabulous family.



My beautiful niece J'Kad



Nick and Jessica, you may remember as we did their wedding last October. Fabulous as usual!





Baby Tyler was so cute! She handled the camera like a pro. But even pros need a break! I just love the last one!





Shauna you were total rock star





Jeremy and Lisa. This fab couple is getting married this August! What a great way to search for your wedding photographer than to go to a shoot like this and personally get to work with (or interview... depending on how you look at it haha) your potential photographer. John and I were fortunate enough to get to spend some time with these guys at the shoot as well as dinner a few nights later. We are so excited that they have chosen us to shoot their wedding this Summer! Jeremy and Lisa you are both exceptional and we can't wait to be a part of your day!

Baby Colten joined his Mommy Tasha, Daddy Nate and Sisters Cameron and Hailey on Wednesday March 19th. He was a bit over due so his arrival was very much so appreciated! Finally Mommy Tasha could hold her first little boy and Hailey can now be the "big" sister to her new little brother. You might remember seeing Tasha's maternity portraits just a month ago. I was so excited for Baby Colten's arrival and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this adorable baby!

Just a week and a few day's old, Colten still fits into the outfit he wore home from the hospital.



Baby Colten is such a great baby! He put up with the camera quite well! In fact he slept a good portion of the time. :)



He did however, wake up to show us his set of lungs once or twice. I just love this picture!



Here is BIG sister Hailey posing for the camera while Baby Colten is resting with mommy.



This is one of my favorites...



I love baby feet!
