Seattle Washington: Engagement Pictures

I am so excited to dive into all the engagement sessions! I'll be featuring some awesome brides and grooms in 2009, and let me tell you- they've got some amazing weddings in the works!

Meet Kyle and Andi. These two already have a special place in my heart- they are both finishing up at WSU. (Go Cougs!) This fall, these two will be tying the knot at Echo Falls Golf Course in Snohomish- can we say gorgeous? I can't wait to see it all come together- keep your eye out for these two on the blog this fall!
For their engagement session, we headed to Gas Works Park earlier this month. They braved the cold wind like champs, and we ended up with some great pictures... and you can't even see the goose bumps. :) Check them out below:

Chelan Washington: Engagement Session

Lindsay and Nate are our two of our best friends. They're getting married this summer in Spokane, Washington and I can't wait for their wedding. While I won't be able to photograph their wedding because I'm in the bridal party, we made some time for some engagement pictures in Chelan. The winter weather and beautiful vineyards made for some awesome shoot locations (I love winter portraits!), and our session was non-stop laughs (thanks to my husband tagging along for this one). Check out a few of their shots below... can't wait to see these two as bride and groom!

I am so excited for you two- we love you guys!

Mill Creek Washington: Baby Portraits

Had to share a couple more from this guy's six month session. This was just a small sampling of the million different baby "looks" he gave me. Such a darling and expressive little boy. I'm already looking forward to his 1-year portraits.

Seattle Washington: Maternity Portraits

This is one brave mama-to-be. That's right, we did her maternity session during the Seattle snow storm. Doesn't she look good? I can't wait to meet the little girl inside that cute little belly. Congrats B!
Here are a few of my fave-

Seattle Washington: Wedding

With the flurry of fall and winter portrait sessions, I never got a chance to post about this beautiful fall wedding. I adore this couple- two of the most genuine and fun loving people I've worked with. Their wedding was equally as charming, with stunning scenery and wide open spaces. It couldn't have been more perfect, and I'm glad I was able to photograph such a day. Here come the pictures:

Their reception was a blast! First of all, I heard some of the most touching speeches that day. The mother of the groom even had me in tears. It was the most sincere and heart-felt speech I have heard at a wedding- what every bride would want to hear from their new mother-in-law.
And as tradition, after dinner there was lots of dancing. The dance floor was packed as everyone cut loose under the light of the lanterns and stars. The final treat was hearing the groom's band play. If you don't all ready know them, you have to check these guys out: Trolls Cottage They are seriously awesome, and I am still trying to get my hands on a CD. :)

Mill Creek Washington: Family Portraits

This little guy was due for his 6 months portraits. You might remember him from this post.
We were lucky enough to get some family portraits in between all the gloomy weather- the rain started coming down just as we were finishing. I'm so glad the clouds were good to us- it made for some great images!

I just want to squeeze those cute little cheeks! :)

It was so much fun to see you guys again! Can't wait til our next session. :)
