~ A family in Woodinville ~

My 2nd family session last Saturday started at Chateau Ste. Michelle - the Fall leaves spread over their grounds are just gorgeous!  Sarah and her brother John were SO ready to make a pile of those leaves to jump in, which we did for sure, but first mom (Kelly) and dad (Anthony) gathered together with the kids for some family portraits.  It wasn’t long though before we were on the ground giggling and having fun finding lady bugs in the grass.  We then headed across the street to The Willows Lodge where the family dressed in their holiday flair for more portraits and a walk on the equally beautiful lodge grounds.  I had a lot of fun with Sarah twirling her ‘princess dress’ and with John while he chased the Canadian geese.  Here are a few of my favorites…

~ Nathan…only 2 days old ~

Sunday, I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Jenna, Dare and their new son Nathan.  Born only two days prior, this little guy was full of squeals and squirms.  I love baby toes so much, but I was really enamored by his gorgeous little lips.  Thanks to Dare and Jenna for inviting me into your home - I hope to see you guys again soon!

i see London…

Before heading out for my big MN trip last week, I had the pleasure of meeting seven week old London for some photo fun.  Her mom had some sweet ideas for props and dad was totally willing to take his shirt off (I love skin on skin shots for newborns!)  London wasn’t up for much sleep time, but we swaddled her up and mom could always get her calm.  Here are just a couple of the shots that I love. Hey London, tell your mommy that the rest will be online soon!

~ Drea & Andy ~

Yesterday evening, I had the amazing pleasure of working with Andy & Drea.  Their baby is due mid-October and I had SO much fun taking their photos!  We started out in their neighbor’s gorgeous garden and then enjoyed more of the afternoon sunlight through their living room window.  They have some amazing pieces of furniture in their home so we got them up on those too!  The love shared between these two people is so sweet and intense - I really hope to have captured that a little in their photos.  I can’t wait to meet their new arrival - this kid is going to have some pretty cool parents!
