Rittenmyer Family – Marymoor Park

Every once in a while the stars align and the weather gods bless you with perfection exactly when you need it.  That’s how it was a week ago when we hedged our bets, got up before dawn, and made our way over to the Eastside of Seattle for an early morning sunrise shoot.  The drive […]

Burns Family – Trinity Tree Farm

Last weekend I strolled through the glorious pines of Trinity Farms with the Burns family as we selected a tree and took some family photos.  What a treat to see this family growing.  I always have the best time on our shoots.

Baby Lucas Takes a Nap

Honestly, still kind of overwhelmed with amazement from baby Lucas’ arrival.  Last weekend we took his “newborn” photos.  There are air quotes around that because well, I took his actual newborn photos before he was an hour old.  Now, he’s an old fogey at 3-weeks. Love this family.

On Friday I documented the arrival of this little lad named Lucas.  I honestly can say that I don’t think I have adequate words to describe the experience so I’ll just let the images speak for themselves.  Life is pretty amazing.

Cousin Portrait

Meet Corey Duncan of Oh Pears!  All around rad dude and as luck would have it, my cousin.  I’m so glad he moved back to Seattle for a bit.  Hanging out and seeing the kick ass person he’s turned into is really something special.  If this look doesn’t say Robert Goulet.  I’m not sure what […]

I am so lucky to have such amazing sisters.  I am truly so grateful for them and the special time we have when we’re together.   Thanks to a work trip this week, I got to spend time with my sister Marie in San Francisco.  Not only did we have a good catch up but […]

An Evening with the Burns Family

I’m so happy to share some photos from my shoot with the Burns Family.  We basked in the glorious evening light and topped the whole thing off with ice cream for little Clementine.  I feel so lucky to be able to capture moments like these.
