I had the most wonderful time in LA last weekend at my sister & brother-in-law’s house.  They threw an all day shindig with a gorgeous patio dinner that just melted away all my stress.  For the whole day, I didn’t worry about what was going on at work, or on my Facebook, or in email, […]

Fanelli Family – North Seattle

Meet the Fanelli family: Tom, Renee, and little lovebug Scarlett.  Team Fanelli was all about getting into the beautiful outdoors for our family shoot come rain or shine.  As is Seattle’s November custom, we got rain.  Plus side?  Weather apps are becoming increasingly more accurate and bonus, we found a magical forested area smack dab […]
