During the holidays, there are so many great spots to get family shots, but one of my favorites is Discovery Park. There’s an area with loads of pines that looks just like a small tree farm. It was just the spot for some sweet pics with Mary and her little reindeer, I mean, daughter. Our […]

Fanelli Family – Golden Gardens

Team Fanelli always shows up looking cute for a photo shoot and this year was no different. Little Scarlett dawned a fuzzy cozy pink vest and sweet bow for her hair while her teeny tiny sister Lorelai had an amazing headwrap on. It was inspo for me too on these chilly morning shoots. I think […]

How do you prepare for a fall photo shoot with completely unknown weather variables in the Pacific Northwest? As a general rule, just prepare for any and all of it.

Fall is dreamy

This autumn Seattleites were dealt a nice set of cards from the weather gods.  We actually got eased into fall instead of plunged into a dark, grey, rainy wall like we’ve had in years past.  Last month we’ve enjoyed both warm days and chilly & rainy days.  Together, they made for a nice dip into sweater […]
