This positively adorable couple is getting married in just a couple of months. So, we set out to take some engagement photos last weekend at their stomping grounds at University of Washington. I think my favorite part of the day was just watching them play together, and let loose! Thanks for hanging out with me on the fun bus. beep, beep.









it's harder than it looks...

Thanks again guys...can't wait for May!

For all you soon-to-be newlyweds who are wondering why some people do engagement sessions. There are several reasons for doing this. One, is that it's FUN, and you get to relax in front of the camera before your wedding day. Two, you get radtastic photos to keep forever. An three, if you choose, you can make sa-weet save-the-date cards like this....

He can no longer tease me about being the *older woman*. Well, I'm still older than him by 2 years, but at least we're in the same decade now.
I made this t-shirt for him with Nugget's face on it. It must be a realistic image, because Nugget wanted to duke it out!

Uh, where's a hair-dresser when you need one!

I thought I'd include some of my favorite engagement memories from this past year along with my wedding favorites. I love, love, love engagement sessions, not only because it's fun to see people in love have fun together, but because it is so helpful on the wedding day. It's kind of like training wheels for game day. I'm a big fan of training wheels. Random.
Anyhow, here are some fav engagement shots -

Amidst the slush and snow we've had here lately, these two were in town for the Christmas holiday, and we weren't about to let a little cold weather keep us from having some fun. So, we headed down to T-town for some fun in the not-so-sun.




Thankfully, no arrests were made. I don't know what had me laughing more, the look on Deziree & Cory's faces when the alarm went off, or the sight of us all running away down the alley.





Thanks you two!! I can't wait for your wedding in June!

In reflecting on this past wedding season, I am so grateful for being able to work with the most awesome-azing clients. I am a lucky girl! I had so much fun looking through the last years memories. It was hard to pick my favorites, because I love them all! You be the judge, what's your favorite? I'd love to hear -

In gearing up for the exciting new year approaching, I wanted to post a
few of my favorite images from the last year. It's always fun to
reflect on what the last year brought, and to build on that in the next
year. I am so excited for 2009! I will post more in the next couple
of days, but here are a couple of ring shots that I had fun with,
because sometimes, life is in the details.

One day post-thanksgiving, I had the pleasure to do a follow-up shoot with one of my former brides. Cami and Eric were married 2 years ago, when I was relatively new on the scene. We had such a great time on their wedding day, that I was thrilled when she called me up, and said she was releasing her debut album! Her music is truly amazing. She has such a vocal gift, and I know she will have great success. She and her husband co-wrote all the songs on the album, which should be out very soon!
Here are some images from our shoot -


Eric was working on the house they are building, but broke away from working to come be Cami's personal *stylist*. I think he did great -

my version of a piano shot -


It started to snow pretty early into our session, so we had to come up with some alternative locations -



this is one of my favorites of the shoot!


then it was back outside, for just a couple more -


Thanks for braving the snow with me! I wish you guys so much success with this....you deserve it!
