couldn't resist

My 3 year old got a kick out our friend's elf video, so we had to make one of us. Click here or on the pictures to see it.

Merry (early) Christmas from our family!

Sisters

With all of my wifes sisters in town they wanted a little shoot with all of them and I was happy to do it. I got the group and a couple individual shots of each of them.

Jay

When we were out taking pictures, I asked Jay what makes him smile. Other than girls, he said it was his sales pitch, so he gave it to me over and over and I could see He likes what he does. And what he'll likely be doing when he gets out of school.

Jenna

We went out on thanksgiving to Womens Forum and Vista House on the Colombia George in Oregon to get a few shots. Jenna was a lot of fun to work with, she knew how to move to get a lot of fun photos.

The wind was absolutly crazy at vista house, the gusts had to be in excess of 60mph, jenna and her mom had to walked together so they wouldn't get blown into anymore rails.

PS. a bit of advice for anyone visiting the Vista House on a windy day, park so the wind blows your doors shut, instead of parking so the wind rips the door out of you hand and nearly blows it off, I discovered this one the hard way, and quickly corrected for Jenna and her Mother

My Parents - Love Shoot

I've never done a photoshoot of my parents, this summer they had me get the rest of the family, but we forgot to get their picture. They were willing to go out in the cold with me for a couple of minutes so I could get a few shots of the two of them together.

Annette and Evan had a beautiful ceremony at Olson Mansion. She has a great bunch of sisters and it was fun to see them together.

I've been editing pictures all day. I'm about halfway done now and decided to take a break and get of few of my faves up. I'll have an update with more pictures from their wedding later in the week

Tina & CO.

I was able to take pictures of these adorable cousins in the middle of the university of Washington arboretum in Seattle. They were so fun playing in of all of the leaves. I love all of the fall colors. It makes for great backgrounds.

Abby's Birthday

Holy cats! has it really been a year? They grow up so fast. Did I get a picture of her when she was a baby?

One of my favorite parts about being a wedding photographer is getting the kid pictures. I love taking taking pictures of kids. (not just my own.) Their little personalities always show.

I've been all over the Seattle area looking for cool places to take pictures of brides,
couples, and kids it wasn't until yesterday that we discovered this little jewel only
a minute away from where we live.
