In 2012 I fell in love with shooting film again. I'm now completely obsessed with my Rolleiflex and my Mamiya 645. My New Years resolution is to shoot at least one roll of film per week! Truth be told, I couldn't wait for the New Year to get started on my pledge. The images I'm sharing today were taken last week on my Mamiya! And today the sun is shining, so I'll be heading out into the world with my Rollei!! Happy New Year!!!
I love all four of them!
Super fun Mini-Sessions today!
Fall is here! And isn’t it glorious!I really do love this time of year! And for those of you who love it too, I’ve put together a list of my favorite places for taking fall family photos. Here it is:
The Ballard Locks – Gorgeous trees and paved (none muddy) paths make this my number one favorite spot for taking fall photos.
Golden Gardens – Great spot for an evening/sunset session! Sooo pretty
Carkeek Park – I love Carkeek because it has a great beach, and beautiful trees. The best of both worlds!
The Arboretum – LOVE! Trees, cute benches, water, tall grass… it’s just fantastic!
The Olympic Sculpture Park – Want something a little more urban? Then the OSP is your place.
Gasworks Park – A classic! It's always a little windy (which I love) and it's a great spot for views of the city!
Highland Park - Best in the morning for great views of the city and pretty, pretty light!
Be sure to call or email today to get yourself on the books!
And don’t forget that I am now booking for both my Fall Mini- Sessions (Nov. 10th and 11th $150 per sitting) and for Santa photos (Nov. 24th from 9 to 4. Packages start at $30)
Thank you and have a great day!

I LOVE this time of year! And the Ballard Locks is probably my favorite location. The trees are to die for! As is this little 18 month old baby!! Such a cutie!!
We have the best parks here in Seattle! A new favorite of mine is the Olympic Sculpture Park!
It's so cool!
I love this family! I love this light! What more can I say? It was kind of a perfect morning!
I'm so excited and honored to be featured on Let the Kids Dress Themselves! Check it out by clicking here!!
I had the loveliest morning working with these adorable children! Just had to share.
These images are from a recent road trip I took with my family. It was our last adventure before the start of school, and what an adventure it was! We went to Mt. St. Helen's, the amazing McMenamin's Edgefeild and then on to Portland's Kennedy School (our favorite vacation destination). It was all incredible, but I have to say, Mt. St. Helens blew my mind!
I was a little girl living in Spokane, WA when the mountain exploded, and remember very vividly how the sky turned black (in the middle of the day) and how it "snowed" ash for hours. I remember listening to the Emergency Broadcast System telling us to stay inside. And I remember being so scared! It's a day I will never forget and it was so cool to visit the mountain and to be able to share all of my stories with my kids!
The other exciting thing about this trip was that I left my Canon 5D Mark II at home! Instead I shot our entire trip with film! I brought a Mamiya 645, a Canon Elan 7E and a vintage 1953 Rolleiflex. I also used my trusty iPhone (of course)
So here's a little peek at our trip!
Hope you enjoy!
