So something new that has happened since I've started shooting film again is that I'm actually taking photos of my own kids.  I've decided to share a bit of my personal work every Friday here on my blog... hopefully I can keep it up! These images are from a day trip we took to Vashon Island a few weeks ago.  And yes, my son is wearing striped Christmas jammies... we let them dress themselves.

Happy Friday every one!

There is nothing more amazing than witnessing the birth of a baby.  It takes my breath away every time. Congratulations to the Heller family!  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your amazing day.  And welcome to the world little Lauryn... I can not wait to watch you grown up!

I worked with this adorable family a couple of weeks ago out at the Ballard Locks and we were so lucky to have such a beautiful day to work with!!  You gotta love Seattle in the summertime!

I'm in love with these maternity photos taken at Seattle's lovely Golden Gardens park.  Such a lovely day!  And such a beautiful momma-to-be!

I love working with newborns.

This is a portrait of my sister-in-law and friend Cat Thrasher.  Cat is an amazing photographer.  Really (you can see her work here). I snapped this shot of Cat a few weeks ago while visiting she and my bother in Virginia.  And I love it!   It is just spot on Cat!  I posted it earlier this week on a photographer's Facebook page that Cat and I both follow.  After I posted it, one reader wrote "I don't even know Cat Thrasher and this pic makes me like her immediately."  Another said "If I saw this in the About section of a website, I'd like her instantly and would want to hire her!"

And that my friends, is why having a good headshot is so important!

So, if you are in the market for a good headshot for work, Facebook, Linked In, your book cover... whatever!  Please give me a call!  I'd love to take it!

Here are some photos that I took of my brother Jim, my super talented sister-in-law Cat Thrasher, and my two ADORABLE nieces while visiting them in Virginia a few weeks ago.  I miss them all so much, and am so happy to have had the opportunity to photograph them!  Wish they lived closer!

I love the softness of film!  So pretty.

I just finished working with the most BEAUTIFUL mamma-t0-be!!  Here's a little sneak peek!
