I snapped this photo today, and just had to share.  It's such a classic "behind the scenes" moment!

But what every thing we need to do to keep our little super models happy is always worth it in the end! :)

Well I had a fantastic weekend of shooting!  I can't wait to share it all with you.

On Saturday, I had the great pleasure of photographing the 60th birthday party of Rosanne Ross.

This amazing party was held at the beautiful Bellevue Club, and co-ordinated by the talented Katy Griffiths of Vows: Wedding and Event Planning.  Every thing about this event was superb! The styling was just perfect, but what really made this party outstanding was the people.  I was so charmed by the Ross family and their friends.  A truly lovely group!

You may recognize the pug photos that were used for table numbers from the pug shoot I did back in June.  I think they looked great!!

Check out these gorgeous invitations!

This is the cake!!!  Can you believe it?  Thank you  Mike's Amazing Cakes.  (It tasted amazing as well!)

Pug photos, such an adorable detail.

A shot of the beautiful room.

And of course, no party would be complete with out plenty of dancing!

I had the sweetest little newborn in the studio this morning!  I just had to share!!

Remember when you were a kid, and summertime seemed to last forever?  I miss that.  It seems the older I get, the quicker time goes by.  The pace of things takes my breath away. It's so easy to get caught up in it all.  This summer, I've been making a effort to slow down, especially with my kids.  We've been having mini adventures all over town, and days of doing nothing but playing at home.  I want them to grow up and have memories of long lovely summer days, despite the fact that they live in a big city with two very busy parents.  Here's a little peek at what we've been up to.

too cute!

Addie has been a client of mine for years now.  I just love her and her adorable family, and am so excited that they will soon be adding a new little one to the gang!

I tell you, I'm loving these sunny days!  So fun to be able to get outside!

Well, summer has finally arrived in Seattle!  Yay!   And the Locks are one of my favorite summertime locations.  I just can't get enough of the trees!!  Just gorgeous!  And a beautiful day combined with a beautiful family is just icing on the cake!
