The Soemos!

Today starts the busiest weekend I've ever had! Andy and Sarah Soemo are two of my absolute favorite people in the world. I still remember meeting Sarah after they just moved out from Chicago, and knowing that she was going to be a friend for life. And after holding sleeping Carter for about an hour, I know that he is going to be a friend for life too! How could you not fall in love with him?

Congratulations Andy & Sarah! You are amazing parents, and I just love you bunches!

The Dennis Family

Here's a preview of my session with the Dennis fam. Melina (Betty), cuts my hair and is unbelievable! I get so excited for my appointments with her, because she is just incredible at what she does. And she totally gets me. When she was pregnant, she was absolutely the CUTEST preggers lady, ever. And now that Bailey is here, she's such an amazing a fun mom. I'm so glad I got to hang out with them today. Bailey is such a sweet and tiny baby! I loved spending time with you guys and getting some fun shots of your family. Y'all are amazing :)

Thank you Redmond Marriott for letting me use the lobby, and Josh Cunningham for the lens!

The Caulk Family

I've known Kyle since I was 12, when he was one of my youth leaders at Cedar Park Bothell. Over the last few years, I've started running into Kyle and Rachel in random places. The last time we ran into each other was at the last Seahawks game of the season where I told them about holson|photography. On March 14, we got together for a great family session.

Kyle and Rachel, you guys are awesome! Thanks for letting me capture some of that incredible energy that your boys have. I hope you enjoy your pictures!

Ian & Trieste - ENGAGED!

Oh man, do I ever LOVE this couple!

Ian and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. I've always thought of him as one of my brothers, and when he moved to DC, I was pretty upset. But, when he found Trieste (I shall call her Tree from here on out), it was all worth it. Not that my opinion really matters, but I absolutely love her to pieces.

They flew to Seattle for a whirlwind trip in November, and that's when I finally got to meet Tree. I only got to hang out with her for about 15 minutes before they were off to their next location. It really only took two seconds for me to know that Tree is absolutely perfect for my brother Ian.

We were able to take a couple hours on New Year's day to take some shots around Seattle, and thankfully the rain stayed away until our very last shot.

Congratulations on your engagement and we're so excited for you guys!

Four Generations of LOVE

The Olsen/Howlett/Jovanovich/Dill day after Christmas family session was perfect! It was pretty crisp, but the sun was out and this family was so full of joy and love. I enjoyed every minute of our session!

The Wing/Mahnke Family

I absolutely LOVE this family!

Chelsea has been a part of our youth group for around two years now. Just this last Easter, she invited me and Jeremy to Easter Dinner with her family. The chance to make new friends, and great food? YOU BET! Ever since that day, I have felt like I was a part of this family.

Diane has been wanting to do a family picture for quite some time now. The only thing is that she hates getting her picture taken. Well, I try my hardest to make sure everyone feels comfortable, looks good and has a great time.

The leaves were absolutely gorgeous, so we decided to take advantage of them. I couldn't believe all of the color that we were blessed with. Dan, Diane, Nick, Ben and Chelsea: You are an AMAZING Family!

Mikaela Bolen - Senior

How on earth is this girl a Senior?! Mikaela was in my Three Year Olds Sunday School class when I was in seventh or eighth grade. I know she's happy to be done, but I can't believe she's already graduating...holy smokes. Mikaela, you are absolutely gorgeous, and I'm excited to see what this next season brings for you. God bless you chica!

Gary & Andrea's Wedding

On May 9, I was lucky enough to second-shoot for Andrea and Gary's Wedding. Here are a few images from their beautiful day. Congratulations!
