Jackie and I became friends when I was a photographer at The Bellingham Herald and she was a reporter for the radio station KGMI. Crazy to think how long we’ve know each other. Now we’re both married with kids and have moved on to other professions. So fun seeing her and her family for a family portrait session at Elizabeth Park in Bellingham, WA. Miss you guys!
Charlie and his sister have been family friends with my in-laws forever. My brother-in-law was the best man in Charlie and his wife Kim’s wedding several years ago. I don’t see them often and it was wonderful having them out to Camano for these sweet Fall Mini Session family photos. Camano Island is a special place for my in-laws and Charlie has spent many summer days having fun there.
Up first is Charlie’s sister Johannah and her family.
Here’s Charlie and Kim!
Kristina and Jeff hired me to photograph their 2010 wedding, since then I’ve photographed them many times (including this Fall Mini Session at Willis Tucker Park) and we’ve become great friends. My daughter pretend calls their daughter several times a day and loves playing with their son. It’s so nice being in a profession where I can really get to know my clients. It was freezing at Willis Tucker Park in Snohomish but we got some fun, beautiful images.
I love photographing family photos in Seattle and especially at the Olympic Sculpture Park. You can get so many backdrops… urban, beach, trees, trails, and art! This session with Justin and Shana is from my Fall Mini Session. Their little guy just cracks me up!
It was such an honor to photograph my brother-in-law’s Camano Island wedding last summer! It was my first wedding since beating breast cancer (YAY!!!) and having a bilateral mastectomy in June. I didn’t know if I’d have the strength or stamina but I did and it felt SO GREAT being back out there! The moment I met Lauren I knew she was a keeper. She is just perfect for Patrick and he’s perfect for her. Their low key beach wedding was held at Patrick’s family’s cabin on Camano Island where my family spends a lot of time during the summer. I had my wedding at the cabin in 2011 and could not wait to photograph a wedding there. I’m so happy for them and am so happy to be a part of their lives. We love you!!!

Patrick’s best buds!
Patrick is always doing something that amazes us… like making his own “bubble juice” and giant bubble maker.
