Bastron {Family} Seattle, WA

This is an absolute gorgeous family. I was lucky enough to meet Michael, Vivian and Ava for a Sunday afternoon session at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens close to Seattle.. and boy did I have fun.

Ava just turned two and she is such an adorable little girl. She reminded me so much of my little Abigail at that age with such a strong will and so curious to explore. This was a real lifestyle session. There were no posing Ava. (just the way I like it).

It’s amazing how much this little girl is loved by her parents. Michael, Vivian thank you for allowing me to capture your family’s special moments. I hope that these Images will bring you smiles for years to come.

Location: Bellevue Botanical Garden.

Julia Love the one where she's rubbing her eye and daddy plants a kiss. Gemma Carr Natural & uninhibited - what more could you ask for! Rensche Mari What a gorgeous family, Adele is it just me or do you get to photograph super models all the time ;) Ava is stunning, just like Abigail. I <3 this session! Joanne Holbrook I love these! I love the way you captured such natural moments between them. Beautiful!

Joanne {anytime} Lacey, WA

Meet Joanne. She lives about 3 houses from me here in Lacey, WA. And get this … She is also SOUTH AFRICAN! How randomly lucky for me. We have the same home country and even better we are both Military wives. I don’t come across too many South Africans here in the US. So it was a pleasant surprise when we finally met.

I had a great afternoon with Joanne.. as we walked through this big open field I could “hear” Joanne’s thoughts.. “where is this crazy woman taking me? ” We had so much fun, to be honest I love when I get to do anytime sessions. Especially for women. It’s a chance for a Mommy to enjoy herself and for a moment be selfish. (we so need those days or hours) Selfish in the sense of doing something for you.

Joanne is a Contemporary dance teacher at the Olympia Dance Centre. I hope you enjoy these Images.

Courtney Adele the 11th image reminds me a painting! Very lovely! Kip Beelman She and your work are both beautiful. You guys scored the yummy light. Kat These images are so enchanting! My favorite one is the image where Joanne is sitting in the grass - it looks so peaceful. jen your work is beautiful. MOM Sjoe goeie werk!!! Mis jou so baie vandag. Dit is n koue wintersdag uiters mislik!!!! Sien jou oor 5 dae Lovies moeder! Christine Pobke OMG. What a stunning shoot! Drooling over the light and those colours!!!! Dang. Cathy These are sooo gorgeous! I love the rich color and backlighting. Julia This light is golden!

Clay {Family} Tacoma, WA

From the first email Cheryl send me I knew this was gonna be a good session. Cheryl like me likes “all things pretty”… to me that means details. I love small details. From the tiniest thing like “eat me” and “drink me” tags, to the colors being complimentary, Cheryl had it all covered and I love love love the results we got.

Thank you Cheryl for seeking me out to be part of these special moments. I can not wait for baby Cayman to make his arrival so I can photograph him too. You have a beautiful family inside and out. Also thank you for putting some much effort into this session. I loved working with you.

Location: Point Defiance Park. Tacoma, WA

Inglin {Family} – Seattle, WA

I met Mimi Inglin a couple of months ago at Jesh de Rox’s -Life {as an artform} workshop in Seattle, we had such an amazing time at this workshop. I was so happy to hear from Mimi a few weeks later when she emailed to say hi and ask how I was doing. Mimi is such a talented Photographer and I was blown away when she asked me to photograph her baby belly and gorgeous family. I have to admit I was extremely nervous, it’s pretty intimidating photographing a photographer.. *wink wink*.

Mimi you are beautiful. You have a gorgeous family and I had so much fun with you guys. I wish you all the best with the remaining few weeks of you pregnancy. May your new little one bring infinity amounts of joy to your family. Thank you again for asking me to capture these moments for you.
