The Baebler’s May 30, 2007

One of my very favorite parts of my job is getting to know people, spend time with them and see their families grow and change throughout the years. The Baebler family is one of the great ones!! I met Erin a couple of years ago through a networking group (BNI) she is a fabulous Life Coach & has a company called Impact Coaching. Her family is made up of her wonderful husband Matt, their son Quinn who is SO fun to be around, and the newest addition (as of six months ago) Scarlett. Who just may be the most beautiful and giggly baby in the world! We broke our session into two seperate days, and here are a few of my favorite photos - Enjoy!!

Engaged ~ Jeff & Elisa May 25, 2007

I met Elisa a few years ago, (through my boyfriend Ryan) she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and such a wonderful mother to Kayla. I remember about a year and a half ago, we were over visiting her just after she and Jeff started dating and even then when they had only been together just a short time - you could tell they were in love and perfect for each other.

Now they have been together for two years and are stronger than ever! Check out their website, http://www.jeffandelisa.net (the stories they wrote on how they met are so sweet!!)

So, a couple of weeks ago - we went over to the University of Washington Campus and spent a gorgeous afternoon walking around. (My favorite part of this is that Jeff went to Washington State… heehee)

Here are a few of my favorite picks from the afternoon - Enjoy!!

Welcome To Snohomish County! May 14, 2007

The Little Nickel each season puts out a welcome guide to each area of town, Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma – and now (coming this June) will be the Welcome to Snohomish Guide, there are 80,000 printed each year and it is a free publication. So, I bet you are wondering (or maybe you aren’t) why you’re reading about this?!? Its because the photography in the Snohomish guide is none other than that of Barbie Hull Photography!! Lookout! Here are a few samples of what may be included.

Laney May 11, 2007

A few short months ago (time really flies by doesn’t it!) I had the privilege of photographing the then new born baby, Laney. Well guess what? She is six months old can sit up now!! She giggles and laughs and is so fun to be around! A couple of weeks ago, I spent the morning with Laney and her adoring parents – Amy & Streiter the greatest chiropractors in town! (Vanquaethem Chiropractic) Here are a few of my favorite shots of the morning.

Hello from Costa Rica!!! May 10, 2007

I’ve been here in Costa Rica for 6 days now, and time is flying by!! If you didn’t know, I’m down here to photograph Ron & Josette’s wedding (photos soon to follow). We are staying in the big city of San Jose, and it is amazing!! The architecture is amazing and the weather is beautiful and sunny (only) in the morning. Since it is the start of the rainy season, it pours down rain every afternoon combined with deafening thunder lighting, we are entertained by some pretty amazing storms. =) It is so hot and humid, the rain doesn’t bother us at all – in fact, it is welcomed and pretty refreshing!

We have driven hours upon hours to go and visit many of the smaller towns in the area, Alajuela (beautiful churches), Puerto Limon (to search for the extremely endangered leatherback turtles), Parismina & so many more that I cannot remember. It is a pretty neat place with so much to see and do – you’ll have to come and visit!! My favorite thing so far is the food – everywhere that we have eaten has been fabulous!! The fresh fruit is the best!! (and incredibly inexpensive!)

This is goodbye for now, but there will be many more updates to follow - I hope you enjoy the photographs so far!

Married! Bob & Daphne May 10, 2007

On a beautiful RAINY March afternoon Bob & Daphne started getting ready for their wedding - but perfectly enough the sun came out… just in time for photos!! So we spent about an hour walking around the intersection of Pike & Boren (one of my favorites!!) taking many different shots. The ceremony & reception were both just up the street at the Stimson-Green Mansion where we spent the rest of the evening. A huge highlight of the evening was the cake - wait till you see the spread!! Daphne’s Aunt Linda & Beth both really outdid themselves, there was every kind of cake imaginable… mmmmm tasty!!
