Cute!!

So, I've been shooting a lot with this new white backdrop, and I've decided that I just love it!!!  I love how it takes what little light we get on these dark winter days, and bounces it all around the room.  I also love how simple it is.  Love.

Anyway.. here are some pics from my latest session with the lovely Nora.  Her family purchased my "First Year" package, and so I've been able to see her every few months since she was born.  One of my favorite things about that package is getting to watch these adorable little people grow!!  So much changes within that first year...  It's amazing!!

The Reese Ladies

I had such a great time at this family portrait session.  These ladies were a hoot!!  My favorite part was watching Little Miss here rock out to Lady Ga Ga.  If there is anything funnier than little kids dancing, I don't know what it is!!

I love my phone!!!!

I spent the afternoon at the beach with my family.  It was a beautiful Northwest afternoon, and I was a little disappointed that I hadn't brought my camera.  But luckily, I had my IPhone!! And was able to snap a few images of the fam hanging out on the beach!!!   

This is my son Dexter... isn't he adorable?!!

 ....my husband Peter

 My other son Harvey!!!  He's pretty adorable too!

... me and Peter.  

Remember Summertime?

Today is one of those super dark and rainy days that we get here in Seattle in January.

I've been sleepy all day, and I  just want to sit on the couch and eat cookies.

To snap myself out of it.. I thought I'd post some pictures from summertime.  Remember summertime?  It was nice.

This picture cracks me up!

 I think it would be fun to publish an entire book or this sort of thing... all the silly stuff that goes on in-between, and behind the scenes of a photo shoot.  Working with kids and babies is a hoot!

Me and My Boys

My super talented sister-in-law Cat Thrasher, just posted some amazing pictures of me and my family on her blog! So fun to be on the other side of the camera.  You can check out the photos by clicking here.

Thanks Cat!!!  You rock!

The Mallet Family!!

Had the privilege of working with Christina Mallet and her adorable family today!  Christina is the talent behind Katrinka's Secret, and is an amazing photographer, and a dear friend of mine.

I was honored to be asked by Christina to shoot newborn photos of her adorable little daughter, Helena Gogo.  Helena was named after Christina's grandmother and her middle name Gogo means "first born daughter" in the Ghanaian tribal language Ewe (the language of Christina's husband's family)  Very cool!!

I had a great time working with the Mallets, and would like to say "congratulations" to Christina, Alex, and big brother Xander.... and "welcome to the world" to little Helena!!!
