This was such a lovely family session.  Adorable newborn.  Adorable toddler.  And truly lovely parents.

I really do have the best job in the world!

Congratulations Scholl family!  It was great seeing you all again, and meeting your beautiful new fella!

Hello friends!  I'm so excited to finally be launching my new website and blog!  Woohoo!  Please spend some time exploring all the nooks and crannies.  And then, when your done, leave me a comment in the comment space at the bottom of this post.  I'd love to hear what you have to say!  And be sure to take a moment to sign up for our new newsletter.  I'll be offering all sorts of special offerings and events, exclusively for those on the list!  So sign up and be the first to know.

If you saw my post on Lily and Michelle from a couple weeks ago, then you already know that my dear friend and assistant of many years, Lily, married her partner Michelle in a lovely little ceremony that I was honored to be a part of!  It was great!

Here are a few of my favorite pics from the rolls of film I took.

Congrats again Lily and Michelle!

Just two friends, enjoying the view

Cute! xoxox

I love these maternity photos!  So beautiful!

Yesterday, my assistant and dear friend, Lily, got married!!  It was a lovely!

Here are some of my behind the scenes photos (shot on my iPhone)

Congratulations Lily and Michelle!!  xoxoxo

  One of my favorite things about shooting film is the delayed gratification.  It was so fun to pick these up from the lab, on a rainy cold day, and remember that is was sunny a couple weeks ago, and that we went to the park, and it was lovely!

This image was shot on my Rolleiflex using Ilford 400 Delta Pro

I saw this sign the other day as I walked through my very urban neighborhood on my way to my studio.  You've got to love the Northwest!

I'm sure it comes as no surprise to tell you that I love taking pictures.  Really love it.  At any given time, I have at least one of my three favorite cameras on me (the current three favs are, my Canon Mark II, my 1953 Rolleiflex, and my iPhone).  But what I realized (with a little help from a friend) is that I only ever post the pictures I take at work.  And thats just crazy!!!  Because I'm taking pictures all the time, every day, and have so much more to share. So here it is... my new goal.  A picture a day!  Okay... maybe every other day.  But the point is, I'm going to share more of the photos I take for myself, when I'm out in the world, with my family, just living my life.

I hope you'll enjoy.

This photo was taken about an hour ago as I walked to school to pick up my boys.  This, sadly, is what June looks like in Seattle.  And yes, I'm a little bitter, because I'm tired of wearing rain boots and carrying umbrellas.  I want to wear strappy sandles and paint my toes red.  I want to wear a dress.

Sadly that will probably not happen until July 5th.  The date we here in Seattle call the first day of Summer.
