Just had to share this image of my boys swimming in Lake Washington.  We've had such a lovely week here in Seattle!

I've been photographing these two little rascals since the day they were born!  I just adore them.  Here is a little sneak peek from our recent shoot!

Here is a little sneak peek from my newborn session yesterday.  

So, for the past several weeks, my son Harvey has been transforming himself into a superhero he calls "The Green Rescue".  The Green Rescue is the most super of all the superheroes (according to Harvey) and fights off bad guys with his magical shield (an orange plastic tray), but also has all the powers of every other superhero out there.  Pretty amazing, I know!!  Not to be outdone, his twin brother Dexter has become the "Lego Rescue"  This crime fighting duo made their way (with some help from their mom... who they now call "Tape Lady"... not sure why) to Seattle's Discovery Park yesterday.  Luckily "Tape Lady" brought her camera, and was able to document some of the action!

Here is a little sneak peek from this morning's newborn session.  Isn't this little guy just the cutest thing!

 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.
