One Is So Fun!

    
The last time we saw baby Adalyn on my blog she was a wee little one at two months old… for some reason sharing the photos we created of her at age six months just fell off my radar and didn’t get done! So here she is, one year old already! I joined Addy and her mom and dad, Denise and Joe at Whatcom Falls Park on the evening of Addy’s first birthday. Addy got right down to business showing me her newly acquired one-year-old skills ie: simulated drunk-walking, ability to locate own nose and own head, not to mention having the “'How big is Addy?" game completely mastered, thank-you-very-much! Like most one-year-olds, Addy felt most comfortable keeping Mom & Dad within arm’s reach while we explored the park, which made for some really fun pictures of the family!
After our visit at the park, I joined Addy and her family at home for the traditional eating of the cake! I’m planning to share those photos in an upcoming blog entry for July birthdays… in the meantime, I uploaded select photos from Addy’s six month shoot to a Facebook album. Be sure to take a look!

Addy is SO BIG! 

    

     
Denise made Addy a special outfit to commemorate her first birthday and at first it seemed Addy wanted no part of it! Of course she forgot all about it once mama pulled some tricks from her sleeve : )
 

Have fun being ONE, Addy!

Danger! Cuddly Creatures Ahead!

I first met Rebecca Danger when she was closing her handbag store in Bellingham and selling some items on craigslist. I was just moving to a new house and came across a chair she was offering up for sale that I just had to have! I was thrilled when Rebecca got in touch a year and a half later to see if I could do some photography work for her. It seems she had turned her crafty skills from sewing handbags to knitting and needed an author photo for her soon-to-be-published book titled Rebecca Danger Writes Really Great Patterns. After spending an hour or so with Rebecca and the cuddly creatures she has created, I have to agree … she really does write great patterns! I wanted to take every single one of them home with me! Too bad I don’t knit! Fortunately for all you knitters out there, you don’t have to wait for the release of Rebecca’s book… you can buy the patterns for everything you see here in her Etsy store!

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your creations, Rebecca! I hope your new book is a smashing success!

Let’s Go To The Beach!

Connie & Brian with Alexander, Isabella & Cameron! 

This warm summer weather has me yearning for the smell of salt air and the sound of waves rolling up on the shore… which reminds me of a shoot I did last month with one of my long-time families! Connie was really hoping for a beach location for this year’s shoot, and of course Semiahmoo came to mind immediately. Its weather battered wooden structures offer both a fabulous backdrop as well as shade from the bright sun, and it is one of few beaches around this area with sand to play in!  Both Connie and I were really happy with the outcome of this shoot, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite shots…
