One, Two, Three....

JUMP!



Another wonderful family I've known for years who I hadn't seen since little Miss K was a baby! It was fantastic to see them and we had fun in the city. We lucked out with an unusually warm day in November. There are so many favorites I can't even begin to post them all. I had to limit myself...and I could barely do that!



























I was waiting for this shot all day...I have a shot like this when she was a baby...a quiet moment with just the two of us while she told me about her shell collection, and there it was. Notice her gorgeous eyelashes and how they are different (one blond, one brunette)...I adore this!









OK...we started out jumping and ended in a big, long jumping finale!! A couple highlights...

Giving Thanks

I am so thankful for so many things in my life. My amazing boys, my wonderful husband, and my incredible family and friends are the true joys of my life. With that said, I also feel so lucky that I get to do something that I am passionate about...and while doing it I get to meet and work with such fantastic families! It really is quite something and I truly feel blessed!
This sneak peek is for one of those fantastic families! When discussing possible locations, Katie suggested the Capitol Campus in Olympia and I was thrilled. You would never know that it was pouring during this entire shoot because we were under cover in the front of the building! Wow, talk about being lucky! The lighting was gorgeous and the architecture stunning! It did get cold for these precious little girls but they were troopers! I will definitely be back to photograph there again!



Striking her own pose...I love it!





Little sis is too cute and so happy all the time!





A favorite of the day..



and some others...







Can you stand these silver loafers?? Are they the cutest things, or what??











Adore this of Little Miss J









They're all favorites, really...

As I was saying...

And look at this sweet, sweet face











I love this basketball series...







And after making the shot...



Ugh, she is just too much fun to photograph!







And I adore these...dancing with mom

She's got brains, beauty...

and she can shoot hoops! And she's only 2!!!



(Stay tuned to see the rest of this wonderful family coming really soon...)

Uh, could this little guy be any cuter?

Gorgeous red hair, beautiful blue eyes, and adorable dimples! What a little sweetness! Oh and he had lots of things to tell me...that says a lot for a 13 month old! Heather, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! I'm so glad that I got to catch a glimpse of you both!



This is one of my favorites...













and I adore this one...so happy

Here's a little secret...

Cancel and reschedule your outdoor shoot in advance because you are worried about rain and you will get sunshine! This happened recently...it had been raining for days straight (as it tends to do in Washington) and we were certain that it would continue. Well, we woke up on the day of the shoot and it was a beautiful sunny day and thankfully we were able to restore our original plan! The lighting couldn't have been more fantastic...and the family was wonderful. I always love to see the unique mix of each child within a family...there were so many gorgeous combinations among this trio...take a look...





The entire beautiful family

A favorite of mine...Damsel wanted to be part of the action too...do you think they worked on this pose??



I also love the single photos of the children...

Can I just say...

Pure Perfection!



A beautiful new addition to a beautiful family...
