It has been a very rainy week here in Seattle.  And not the misty kind of rain that we usually get.  I'm talking big ol' drops of pouring rain.  That is what was going on as I drove to this shoot today... big huge raindrops coming down in sheets.  I wasn't happy about it at all.  But then, as soon as I pulled up to my client's house, the clouds parted, and the sun came out!!!  It was glorious.  We all ran outside and got down to business.  These little monkeys were great to work with... and the sun stayed with us until we were all done.  Mother nature was kind to me. 

 As I said goodbye to my clients, and drove away, it began to rain again.  But this time, I was ok with it. 

I think these children are adorable!!!

I spent last Friday in Walla Walla photographing the newest addition to the Crane family, Mr. Sullivan.   He's such a cute little peanut!!!  It was just 15 months ago, that I was in Walla Walla photographing his brother Beckett.  Since then, I've worked with the Crane's several times, and I've got to tell you, I just love these people.  They are so nice, and they have the cutest kids!!!

By the way,  Renee and Ryan Crane are not just the parents of two adorable little boys.  They are also the owners of Kerloo Cellars.  So next time you are in Walla Walla, be sure to stop by their tasting room downtown, and treat yourself to a little Kerloo!

Proud big brother Beckett watching over his sleeping brother.

Cute!!!

I love Sullivan's baby hair swirl

Two years ago, I had the supreme privilege of photographing this little man on the day he was born (you can see those images by clicking here).  Now look at him!!!  Adorable as ever!!  And so grown up!  

I love this picture.  Doesn't Owen look so satisfied standing there with his Mommy and Daddy!

I'm happy to announce that my brother Jim and his wife Cat are now the proud parents of little Lulu Thrasher Coan.   Lulu came into the world earlier today after making her parents (and the rest of us) wait for more than two weeks past her due date!!!  The photo below is courtesy of my brother... I'll be heading to Virginia in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned!  There will be more photos of the lovely Lulu soon!!!  I can't wait to meet her!!
