Shane + Adrian [a Vintage Inspired Holiday]

I've been invited a few times to work with Shane and Adrian and was super excited after my most recent invite. Adrian called me with a ton of fun ideas that would bring a bit of the past into the present while capturing what the two of them are all about. Adrian is venturing into the exciting world of photo styling and has a great eye, so needless to say, when I get a call from her- My creativity flows freely and I always hang up inspired. This session took place at the Laurel House {the house they've together made into a home} and was full of ideas sprouting from ideas on top of ideas and loaded with laughs and a good time. Thanks again to Shane & Adrian for having me, it was inspiring & fun, as always!

Kugel-Rust Family [A Break from the Pouring Clouds]

Kris, Kristine, Blake, Bailey, Owen & I met up in Everett on a very rainy December day. The forecast was not in our favor and talk of rescheduling our session was on the tip of every one's tongue. To our surprise, the clouds actually held out until the very end [how do I have such luck? It really is incredible]! We had a good time scouting out locations by both car & foot, mostly welcoming the scouting by car for the quick chance to warm up a bit! Thank you all for inviting me to hang out a bit with you and capture your family in the "norm" [very little posing]! I had a blast!

Jolie & JJ [Big Sister + Little Brother]

Two of the most well behaved, cute children I have photographed! Jolie, JJ, their momma Jaime and the Grandma & I met up in downtown Everett on a very chilly December day. We had fun with a few props and several different locations and I have to say, they were way tougher than I was when it came to bearing the cold! It was definitely a hot cocoa kind of day! Thank you Jamie for inviting me to spend a little time with your family and a big thanks to Jolie & JJ for all the fun!
