Naomi | Renton Senior Portrait Photographer

Another way fun senior portrait session with a really cool chic! Thanks for braving the hoots from passing cars and leaning against one of the most nasty dirty cars I could have possibly chosen. You're the bomb Naomi! :) 

Little Husky & Petite Cougar Fan | Renton Kids Photography

Some photo sessions are just so pretty I want to share all the children's pictures, and these portraits taken at Gene Coulon Park in Renton were some of my favorites this month. The color really popped and we even had a hint of fall leaves we were hoping for.

I'm not a sports fan, but I understand that you are either a Husky fan or a Cougar's fan if you live in Seattle. These two fans put their differences aside for an hour and showed how cool it is to just be family. Even though they are cousins, you could easily mistake them for brother and sister. Thanks for a great time P & A!

Reese & Tate(r) | Bothell Baby and Child Portraits

The nicknames people come up with for their babies delight and crack me up. I've heard sing-song versions that rhyme with their names, tough guy names for boys, sweet names for little girls and this one which is fast becoming my favorite... Tater. It's Tate, but how could you not resist wanting to take a bite out of a chunky 6 month old nicknamed Tater?! His older sister did a good job of hugging and kissing, keeping my shutter clicking and being forced to resist that nibbling urge I was getting. Mom took a bite of those wiggly piggy toes and dad got in there too. Being a fly on the wall for moments like this just make me so happy!

Bryce | Des Moines Child and Family Portraits

It really doesn't matter if the subject I'm photographing is a family, newborn, wedding or seniors, I always have so much fun when I'm out with my camera. This day was a double treat though. I recently had my 20 year high school reunion (yes, 20 years already) and saw so many faces I hadn't seen in, well over twenty years. It was a great chance for all of us to reconnect, an although I came in during the last few minutes of the evening (I was photographing an amazing wedding in Tacoma, so it was worth missing), and catch up. There was of course a flurry of activity on Facebook surrounding the big day and that's when I got a message from a super sweet girl I used to sit by in English class. She asked me to capture a few photos of her family, but mostly of smiley little Bryce. He's a heart breaker, a major sandbox digger and a really cool kid. Thanks so much for reaching out, spending a perfect morning at Saltwater State Park and reconnecting M!

Love this one!

And this one, just moments before cold water rushed into those rainboots!

Aaron | North Bend Senior Portait Photographer

When I photograph senior portraits I like to have a rough plan and then see what the individual senior brings with both their style and personality. Mt. Si Seniors are always my favorites. They seem to have this subtle toughness that kids who grow up in the country have, without losing touch with the city. And they always surprise me when I ask what classes they are taking and what they want to do when they get out of school. Aaron topped my list of cool kids when he told me he was taking classes in horticulture and architecture. Thanks for braving the looming rain and blood thirsty mosquito's with me!

Cutest Pumpkin In The Patch | Snohomish Baby Photographer

Little Lucas is already six months old and such a different little guy than when I first photographed him. I was so happy to get outdoors Saturday and enjoy a gorgeous fall day among the pumpkins and corn stalks with the O family. The Farm at Swan's Trail's pumpkin patch was crawling with little ones (even if only little at heart) seeking their perfect pumpkin, and look what we found. Complete with a knit hat, this could be the cutest pumpkin you'll ever see!

  

Little Vinnie | Duvall Newborn Photographer

Grandma was expecting to get little bambino, and although his daddy has that dark Italian look, this little guy has softer features like his mama. At just two weeks old, Vincent was sleeping like a champ and didn't seem to mind the fussing and prop changes. Isn't he just beautiful!
