Family Fun On-Location

Oddly enough, I get a lot of questions based on whether or not I travel for sessions. I've always thought it was obvious based on the content of my galleries, on-location price options and locations in the calendars. Apparently not, my fault. Oops! :) Time to share some on-location ONLY and skip my studio work!!

In the past few months, some of the places I've been are the tulip fields in Mt. Vernon, a beach on Camano Island, a home in Spokane for a newborn session, two families in North Bend, and east on Highway 2 for a family who likes the outdoors. Shortly I'll be off to Oregon for beach sessions this summer and of course, I'll be spending all my October weekends outdoors as well. I LOVE the autumn leaves!!!

So, yes, I travel!! Where's the furthest I've gone? There were a few families I photographed in California in the San Francisco area. Weddings I've helped with in Mexico. Sessions I've helped with in Austin,Texas. What I love the most is finding new fun places to photograph and explore.

Thanks for getting me out of the studio!!

Darling Miss Delani

Isn't that the cutest name? I love it! I have to share a few sneak peeks, this little gal came to see me today because of her awesome uncle who's visiting from California. He called earlier this week to see if I could fit them in while he was visiting. Of course!!! :)


Yep, those are heels!! Have you seen those in shops yet? They're called Heelarious and they're soft little bootie type shoes. Even better, there's a style called Kayla (I'll have to correct them on the proper way to spell that!) that is zebra striped!



Such a cute outfit! I'm so happy Delani managed to hang in there long enough to be photographed in it!

Bear Bottoms

Miss Olivia came to see me last week with her stuffed teddy bears and the CUTEST hat to go with them. Isn't she an adorable little gal? That smile just lights up her face!

It's summer! For a day...

Well, yesterday was awfully nice with the warm weather and clear blue skies but what's up with the clouds today? Brrr!!! I took advantage of the pretty weather yesterday and joined my daughter in the pool at her swimming lesson and borrowed a couple other willing subjects. Finally got to play with my Christmas present: a new camera with underwater housing! Totally fun!!!

My Munchkin!

Duvall Days

Saturday June 7th is Duvall Days!! Come on down to Duvall to see the Parade in the morning starting at 10:30am (we're in the Kiddie Parade with our Dolls of Duvall Portrait Contest Finalists!) and then come by our booth and say hi!! We've got all sorts of fun new things to show off, plus tattoos and balloons for the kids, and Double Dollar Gift Certificates for the grown-ups! This will be the ONLY day of the year when we offer $100 gift certificates at 50% off. What the heck was I thinking??? :) Come take advantage of my insanity.

I hope to see lots of familiar faces regardless of rain or shine!!

Ducks are Back

That's right, the duckies are here!! We're photographing for a full week with the duckies, any kind of background you want and then on Friday and Saturday we'll have our awesome pond scene available again. There's still some openings for Tuesday-Thursday the 8th, 9th and 10th of April for any scene and some on April 11th and 12th for the pond. There's a gallery of duck images in the family website under Limited Editions. Call or email! 206-947-4686

Meet Noodles!!

This is Noodles! Isn't he adorable? He was hysterical to photograph. A lightning ball of energy, yappiness, baby growls and silly jumps, flips, rolls and slip-ups! This pint-sized little pooch exhausted both me and Laurie. It was a challenge to keep him in one spot and hold still for a fraction of a second. And of course, in his sweet little puppy mocking way, he'd pose for a split second then run off and attack a broom. Or me. Or my toes. ouch.
