Cappuccinos to the sound of independent radio at La Marzocco (a.k.a. the KEXP radio cafe) while we waited for the Seattle drizzle to slow down. Our three year old birthday girl was a little cautious at first, but after a few sips of her cappuccino, she was ready for dancing in the photo gallery, exploring the Seattle street art, and kicking up leaves on the way to the Space Needle. A perfectly Seattle Kid way to celebrate your third birthday... I just love how homey and full of natural light the KEXP cafe is. I can't believe this was my first visit. I've already been back in for coffee twice since. I just love it. A mighty big coffee made with love for three year old hands. No pictures yet, please, I haven't had my coffee yet. A family toast to the birthday girl! Love all around. Tasty coffee down. Now let's dance! Time to check out the artwork. Look at that gorgeous waterfall! The rain slowed down enough to take the walk through S...

If this is your  first time working with an on-location professional photographer, it can be difficult to know what to expect. What should I bring? Will there be enough time to get the perfect picture?  Will we feel comfortable in front of the camera? We completely understand and are here to work for and with you to make your session as stress-free as possible.  The location of your photoshoot can be almost anywhere - from your bedroom to a nearby park or café. We believe one of the most important factors in choosing a location should be its emotional value to you. Being in the same spot that something wonderfully memorable happened in the past can evoke strong emotions and great moments in front of the lens (think first kiss, a special "I love you" moment, first date, etc). Nature settings such as parks and wilderness, can create beautiful backdrops for your photographs. If you prefer your photoshoot in your home, let's choose a r...

Don't be this mom.... Print your memories! That commercial had me giggling uncontrollably the first first time I saw it. I think I re-watched it three times! Today, I'm sharing it as a humorous reminder to print our memories. When I started this photography journey, there were two things I knew I wanted to do: I wanted to allow my clients to have digital images to post and share online which most photographers weren't offering at that time (back when MySpace was the social media platform of choice, hehe),  and  I wanted to offer both high quality and affordable print options to my clients.  Why are printing and sharing important to me?  Well, allowing my clients to share online is important because I know everyone and their grandmother (yes, our grandma, too!) is on Facebook and Facebook makes it so easy to keep in touch and share your life's moments - big or small -  with friends and family far and wide. For example, I love getting to see the e...
