Family Is Everything | Seattle Family Photographer

I have known this family for a while now.  When we met, I had a newborn in my arms and a crazy toddler at my heels.  This mama was a few years ahead of me in the game.  She may not realize it, but she always seemed so wise.  But what I always admire most about is her sense of calm and her ability to laugh about it all.  If you can't tell, this family is so much fun!  They laugh, wrestle, play, and of course bicker but it is so beautiful.  There is a life energy about them that is infectious.  Capturing them is always so much fun and I am delighted that they ask me to do it again and again.  Comptons, you guys are the best!! 

Crazy Love | Seattle Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

This was one of those sessions... I walked in, I could feel their peaceful energy immediately.  We spent about an hour and a half together and I pretty much fell in love with them, all three of them.   I think Annie Leibovitz put it perfectly when she said "A thing you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people."  Exactly, Annie.  I often feel like I have fallen in love with the families who choose me to capture them.  Newborn photography, and even more specifically lifestyle newborn photography, requires you to come into these peoples lives during such a vulnerable time, it requires you to open your heart to them, to make yourself available so that you may capture this raw and beautiful time in their lives.  I only hope I can do these families an ounce of justice.  Thank you, for choosing me.  It was a pleasure! 

Aiken | Seattle, WA Family Photographer

This was my third time capturing this beautiful bunch.  We had a clear blue sky day, lots of wind, and lots of fun.  There were snuggles, laughs, and wiggles.  Family photography should be fun and it sure was on this day.  <3

Our Yearly Date | Seattle Family Photographer

There are many things that make me feel confident as an artist but perhaps the best compliment anyone can ever give me is to come back again for portraits.  I have captured this family many times over the past few years and it has been such a pleasure to watch their little girl grow.  But what has been the most special is the relationship that I have formed with them, as people.  We chat, we catch up, we hug.  I love these three.  Family photography has allowed me to meet the most amazing people and for that I am thankful.  

All The Way From Texas | Seattle Family Photographer

I treasure my time spent with any family, but when they come all the way from Texas and take time out of their vacation to have me capture them, I get pretty excited.  This family was so much fun.  The kids were so sweet and kind to each other.  It was such a gorgeous Seattle summer day and we made some beautiful images together.  I wanted to share every single image from their gallery.  If you can't tell, I give huge galleries and make no apologies for it.  If its a beautiful image full of love and light you better believe I am giving it to them.  Enjoy this gorgeous bunch!
