Engagement ~ Allison & Larin

February 22, 2009 – 4:30 pm

Ali & Larin are such a sweet couple - I love it when a pair seem to really ‘get’ each other.  We started our day at Gasworks Park - it was so bright and everyone was out to enjoy the sun!  We then headed down to Ballard for some play at the locks and the beach.  Their pup, Maggie got to join us - what a sweet girl and a very patient ’save the date’ wearer!  We made it down to the beach for the sunset and also had some yummy ice cream at Little Coney - best root beer float I’ve had in a long time!  Thanks for a super fun day Ali & Larin - can’t wait for the ‘big day’!  Here are a few of my faves from the afternoon…

~ Melissa & Derrick ~

September 2, 2008 – 11:41 pm

Spending Labor Day with Melissa & Derrick wasn’t laborious at all - it was great fun taking some ‘engagement’ and ‘trash the dress’ photos with them yesterday.  Although they were married back in June, they didn’t have the e-session they had wanted and Melissa was totally willing to take her dress on an adventure for me.  We started our day near the Ballard Locks, looking for some graffiti but found the best wall down in the SODO district.  The sun dropped down before we made it back to Discovery park, but we decided to play a little on the sand anyway until Melissa just got too cold and it was getting too dark.  Thanks for being such great ’sports’ M & D - and congrats again your new life together!

“The Aitch” Rules!!

August 23, 2008 – 5:44 pm

One of my most anticipated days this summer was meeting my flickr friend “The Aitch” & her sweet family for a photo session at the beach. We started talking about meeting each other while they were here in Seattle for vacation earlier this Spring and I got so excited about it that the day I actually met them, I felt SO nervous inside! We met at Golden Gardens for some sand & water play and then headed over to the Ballard Locks for fish n’ chips and a romp on the lawn. My Lily LOVED their wee ones….she talked about them non stop for about a week after. What a super day - I knew I’d love them. The Aitch rules!

We’re havin’ a heat wave…

August 16, 2008 – 12:53 pm

Yesterday, Seattle was HOT. Not the kind of heat I lived in San Diego with, but without air conditioning in most homes and with a pretty high level of humidity, it’s pretty darn hot! So my friend Rachel and I packed up the kids and found a great fountain park in Ballard yesterday. Lenox, Logan and Lily had a blast running through the water and teasing us with splashes - I especially love how Lily and Lenox seem airborne. We even bumped into Chris & Nicholas who were out trying to beat the heat too. What a fun, albeit sweaty, day!
