The Deumans!

I have to say it again: I LOVE FAMILY SESSIONS! And let's be honest, when I'm taking pictures of my family members, it's even better. I was blessed to do pictures for my brother (Jason), sister-in-law (Kathy), nephew (Judah) and niece (Jocelyn). Jocelyn turns 1 on September 11, and Kathy wanted to get some family pictures before Jossy's birthday. I have so many great pictures of this family. Here's a preview of their session:

The Ferrers

I love doing family sessions. The parents are incredible, the children are amazing and it's just so much fun to get to hang out with the family as a whole. 

When I woke up last Sunday, it was raining and I was so frustrated! It seemed like it was the first day of rain all summer long. But, the rain and clouds cleared away, and Sean, Nicole, Max and I had a beautiful day in Seattle. We started at Kerry Park, which apparently was the hot spot of the day (while I was there, at least 3 tour busses stopped for pictures). We crawled around in the grass, climbed on the wall and the sculpture and enjoyed the view of the city. 

Next we headed down to the EMP to enjoy the beautiful colors of the building. There's a purple-ish wall on one side of the building that is absolutely gorgeous and a great backdrop for pictures. The whole building is pretty incredible. You should definitely check it out sometime.

Thank you for such a fun session! 

Cedar Park Northshore Staff

I am blessed to be involved in an incredible church. I have known the Lead Pastor (Jay Smith), since I was 6, probably even earlier than that. If you're looking for a church that is exciting, where you can get plugged in and learn about God, please check out Cedar Park Northshore.

Here are a few shots from the photo session with holson|photography.*

The Miltons!

Jeremy and I woke up super early this morning and drove down to Tacoma to do a session with the Miltons: Matt, Jeani & Nehemiah. Let me just tell you: One look at Nehemiah, and you will be hooked! He has the most amazing blue eyes and is a total flirt!









We had such a great time with you guys. Thank you for showing us just how beautiful Tacoma is. You're an incredible family, and I'm so blessed to know you. 

So Many Pictures to Share - Bryan and Jolie Wall

I have known B-Dub for as long as I can remember. He and my brothers were basically inseparable growing up, and he's just always been a great friend to me. I met Jolie in 2002 when she came up to Kirkland to go to Northwest University. She started helping at my church, and a little love connection was made between her and Bryan. And in May 2006, they got married!

I got to spend a wonderful evening with them at the beginning of the month, and it started out like a usual May evening: kind of cold, but tolerable. And then, the heavens opened and the rain came down. We mate the best of the situation, and got some great images.

Thank you guys so much for such a fun session, and happy three year anniversary!

So Many Pictures to Share - Welk Family Session

Let me start by saying this: I LOVE the Welk family! Actually, all Welk families. Fantastic people!

I was blessed to spend an hour or so with Aaron, Kelly, Bella and Maddie a few weeks ago to get some great family pictures. The images from this session were a surprise Mothers Day gift to their moms. What a fabulous gift, and I know their mothers loved them! (Kelly told me, I'm not being conceited ;) )

Thanks for the great morning!

Andrea and Gary's Wedding

About five months ago, Andrea asked if I would be interested in taking fun pictures at their wedding. They had a primary photographer already, but she wanted someone who would follow her around and get the shots that he might not get. Of course I said yes! So far, I've only been able to look through the images once, but I wanted to share one with you.

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Huehnerhoff!!
