What is it about tiny newborn toes? They make me swoon.
Contax 645, Fuji 400h, Strobes
Babies are always adorable! But this little baby is just straight-up hilarious! These images are the first eight photos I took on this roll of film. I lined them up in the exact order they were shot. And each photo was taken just seconds apart from the previous photo.
Happy. Sad. Happy. Sad. Happy. Yes! Happy. Wait, not sure. Okay... sad.
Too funny!

Hello! And happy July! I'm finding it hard to believe we are already half way through the year. And although I am thoroughly enjoying this weather and spending time summering it up with my family, I can't help but think Fall is just around the corner and for me, that means the busy season.
September and October are always crazy busy as families start to plan for their holiday photos. But to me, July and August are the best times to come in for a session. Summer in the Northwest is gorgeous! Why not take advantage of it and beat the Fall rush?
And, if you are wondering where to schedule your summer photo session, let me tell you a bit about one of my favorite Seattle locations, Golden Gardens.
Golden Gardens is the quintessential summer spot. It's tall sea-grass, sandy beach and water and mountain views make it a favorite of mine.
Things to keep in mind when booking a summer session here:
- If you want water/mountain views, be sure to book your session in the late afternoon to ensure the best light!
- Parking can be tricky, especially in the summer, so plan a little extra time. And if you don't mind a bit of a hike, consider parking up the hill at the dog park and walking down. The parking spots are in the shade, and the walk through the trees to the beach is quite lovely.
- Remember you are at the beach, so plan your outfits accordingly (not all shoes are sand friendly). For clothing inspiration visit my "what to wear" board on Pinterest.
When finished with your session I recommend heading over to Little Coney for a soft-serve ice-cream cone, or to Ray's Boathouse for dinner and a beer! Fun!
And don't forget, if you do want a fall photos session, it's best to book early! Send me an email and get on the books today!
These sweet little twin boys came in for their newborn photo shoot the day after my own twin boys turned nine. Working with newborns always reminds me of how quickly time passes. I feel like my guys were little babies just moments ago. I'm so grateful for the photos I have of them from when they were little. And so happy to have created a piece of history for these precious little guys.

I always love working on location! Especially when the location is a gorgeous bedroom with the most amazing wall paper I've ever seen!
