I have been so lucky to get to know and spend time with Shannon Lassen (Sublime Events) this year – she is an amazing gal with great style and an amazing talent for designing events! Not to mention her stunning family! Shannon & Dave just moved into their new home this fall with their PERFECT little girl Olive. I just ADORE her and when you meet her – you will too! She loves to give hugs. Who doesn’t love hugs from a cute little girl??
A few weeks ago we went for a walk in their neighborhood and it was a lot of fun – just ask Olive! =)



















Last year I met Wendy with Divine Tan and she is SO fun!! I love her cool mobile spray tan company – and I’ve been hearing for the past year about her sweet little Lyla and just couldn’t wait to meet her! Well a couple of weeks ago we were able to meet up at Greenlake for a little playdate and it was true… Lyla is the cutest little girl, so full of life (and energy!) she kept us running for a full hour!! Too fun!

















Jen & Isaac are such a cute couple!! They met through BNI (which I love!) they were married a year ago last May in Montana and finally moved back to Seattle about a year ago. All year we watched as Jen’s belly grew and grew – with an original date of September 23rd we thought we had plenty of time to do their pregnancy photos – but when I received the phone call in early September from Jen saying we’d better do it this morning I was SO excited!
So we set up a little studio in their living room and snapped some beautiful portraits – and created some beautiful art.





Then – 32 short hours later they met little William (Will) Thomas Gaspar born September 3rd, 2009 7lbs & 6oz – 19inches long (and incredibly handsome!) Then two weeks later I was able to visit them and took a couple of photos – he is SO sweet!!

















About two years ago I met Chris & Miriam and we hit it off right away – I was lucky enough to photograph their engagement portraits (see here) and soon after their BEAUTIFUL wedding (see here) and nine(ish) short months later – little baby Xavi was born!! Well now he’s walking and talking and HILARIOUS!! Last week we all spent an hour playing outside their new home and laughed the entire time, here are a few shots from the morning – enjoy!
















It was a blast from the past a few weeks ago when Ryan called me up to let me know that he & Jamie were expecting their 2nd child and it was about time to do some family photos. – You see Ryan & Jamie were THE VERY FIRST couple to trust me in photographing their wedding – YAY! THANK YOU!! I couldn’t wait, it had been much too long since our last run in and now they have the sweetest little girl and soon to be the sweetest little boy (I can’t wait to meet him!) We spent an afternoon playing at a park by their West Seattle (dream) home!
Here are a couple of images from our day in the sun:

A couple of weeks ago I spent a fun morning the sweetest family – Rob & Jennifer with their little son Ethan who turned one in January, the greatest Nanny – Jen (who was recently married!) and of course Gracie who is the funniest dog ever! We spent about an hour running around their home, reading books and laughing (my stomach hurt after from laughing so much!)
Here are a few photos from the day – Enjoy!
















So on one of our recent sunny sunny fabulous afternoons I had the privileged of photographing (for the 2nd time…) some of the cutest and most photogenic kids in Seattle! James, Mia & Jude! (you may recognize this terrific trio from my website & postcards!) We spent about an hour in Discovery Park running (and rolling) down hills, jumping around trees and over each other – it was a great day! Here are a few photos from our adventure – enjoy!



















On one of those rare days between the rain Cortney, Lyra and I met down at Carkeek Park – (which is SUCH a great place, I really need to visit there more often) we played in the grass, at the playground and of course we had to go down to the beach. It was so much fun – Lyra is SO cute aaaaand we share the same birthday, so of course we already have a great bond!!
Here are a couple of the cute photos from the day – enjoy!














Last weekend on a chilly Sunday morning I went down to Centralia for a (little late) celebration of Clara, Hannah (the fabulous fay twins) and baby Ryan (the adorable boy of Shannon & Andy) turning one!
We had a great time, we played on the floor with all of Ryan’s toys then sat in the grass for a little while in the back yard – we took SO many photos! Here are a few from the morning ~ Enjoy!




































So for nearly a year now I’ve been hearing from my good friend Trish about how cute her grandson is and last Friday I finally got to meet him and he is SO cute!! His name is Jackson and he’ll be a year old in April – he is so silly, he loves to laugh and swing and he is just getting his front teeth in. I can’t wait for his birthday party!!
So Dale, Trish, Heather, Jackson and I went to the play area in Madison Park playground – here are the photos from the afternoon:


















Trish is one of my favorite people – we met in BNI a couple of years ago and quickly became friends. She is a wonderful Mary Kay consultant so if you are in need of a relaxing spa day or some fabulous skin care, give her a call – Click HERE
