Another Happy Little Family!

Last month I got to spend a little time introducing my friends Jill, Matt & Merit to the wonders that are Woodstock Farm! We had so much fun exploring the grounds, throwing rocks in the mud and checking to see just who among us loves butter (all of us- go figure!)What a fantastic time with another of my happy little families!

Oh Dang! They've Grown Again!

 

With the recent addition of client archives to my website, I've been on a bit of a walk down memory lane as I upload five years of clients' images! While uploading the files from previous shoots with Dana and Mike and their family, I noticed that with every shoot we've done together they've added one child to the mix! I thought it would be fun to bring forth some of those archived shots to show the family's growth over the past four years...

 At Washington Park Arboretum in October 2006... I had already done two shoots with Dana and Caleb prior to this one when I finally got to meet Mike!

The family in July 2007- not long after they'd brought home Matthew from a Vietnamese orphanage! At this shoot Dana divulged they were expecting another...

and at our next shoot in September 2008 I met sweet baby Kristina!

And just a few weeks ago, I joined the family at Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island and met the latest addition to the family- four-month-old baby Hudson!

Here is another from our first family shoot in October 2006... Dana assures me they have no plans of adding another to the clan but this photo has me wondering who I might meet next time I see them : )


I've created a little slideshow to share a few more photos from our most recent shoot together... please enjoy!

An Afternoon Walk With My Little Buddy Evan

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining my little buddy Evan and his mom & dad Samantha & Isaac for a lovely walk through Whatcom Falls Park for Evan’s eight month photo shoot. Both of Evan’s previous shoots were indoors, so I had a great time watching Evan enjoy the sights and sounds of Mother Nature- not to mention flirting with lots of ladies walking in the park. His brilliant red hair brings this boy ALL sorts of attention! Here are some of my favorite photos from our little spring adventure …

   

 

  Practicing his “scrunchy face”… this was the shot Evan’s mom & dad were hoping to get and Evan delivered : )

You can see photos of Evan as a newborn in a Facebook album here!

Celebrating One Year With Ashi!

 

It’s already been one year since our little buddy Ashenafi joined us from Ethiopia! His mama Erin asked Asher and I to join her, Christian and Ashi  for a little celebration of his special  anniversary with some yummy treats at Mallard Ice Cream. Of course we obliged…you’ll never catch us turning down an invite for Mallard’s cool creamy goodness! Never mind the fact that we both absolutely adore Ashi and would never miss an opportunity to celebrate his presence in our lives : )

  

  

  

I just looked through the first photos I took of Ashi last April and I cannot believe how much he has grown since he arrived! I get such a kick out of hearing his developing language skills and his emerging personality. He’s quite entertaining : )

Big brother Christian shows us his mad cone-eating skills

   Biggest brother Asher gets some love from Ashi : )

 

Asher had instructed me to keep him out of the pictures (hence the faux scowl) but I’m glad I didn’t oblige him because I love this picture of him and his monkey-on-the-back little bro : )

 

  

So close this time!

LOTS of love for Mama from her boys!

Congratulations on one year together… what a happy little family : )
