Last week my assistant and friend Lily along with her wife Michelle welcomed a baby girl into the world! I of course could not stay away and showed up the next day with my camera and proceeded to make poor little Ida cry. I'm a mean lady. :) Welcome to the world Ida!! And congratulations Lily and Michelle!!!
Since the beginning of the year I've been incorporating film into my studio sessions. It's been so fun for me! I love the texture of film and the sharpness of digital. Both mediums have something special to offer, and to see them side by side gives me a little thrill! The second and last image in this series were shot on my Mamiya 645 with Kodak Portra 400. The others were shot on my Cannon 5D II. I love them all! And I absolutely LOVE each and every portrait of this beautiful new mother with her little man! Pure joy!
I have had so many adorable families come through the studio lately! And because it's been so busy, I've fallen behind on my blogging! :( But that is all about to change... I'm going to do my best to catch up, one adorable family at a time! Enjoy!
I'm absolutely in love with this photo. It was the last shot of the session. :)
I was editing these newborn photos today and was so excited by how much I love them and how much I totally love my job that I decided to have a give away!!!

I'm so excited to announce that my image "Winky Baby" will be on display at Seattle's Museum of History and Industry as part of the "People Tower" exhibit!

Is there anything better than a newborn baby?

It has been such an amazingly beautiful fall here in Seattle. What did we have? Like, 50 days without rain? So when I woke up on Saturday morning to the stormy skies, I was a little scared. I had a full weekend on the books! I was worried that I'd have to reschedule all of my shoots. But luckily we are hardy folk here in the Northwest and the weekend went on as planned. And what I quickly remembered once I started working is how much I LOVE shooting on stormy, rainy days! Such soft light! It's so pretty! And moody! And beautiful! And I know I sound a little crazy but... I've actually missed it. And I'm glad it's back.
