Happy Father's Day!

 

My guy Chris with his boys Dylan, Austin and Connor!

Wishing a fantastic day to all of the wonderful Dads I have the true pleasure of working with every year- and especially to the one seen above, who I get to "work" with every day!

Shenanigans

 

One might think taking pictures of people modeling clothes would be pretty boring when you are used to racing around parks with kids all the time, but that definitely was not the case with the cast of characters gathered by my friend Erin Boyd of Red Boots Design for our latest photo shoot. I was planning to share some of the regular old boring model shots featuring Erin's newest designs but while editing these babies instead decided it would be way more fun to share the "behind the scenes" shenanigans of our models Brian, Shannon & Matt - I'll leave the posting of the product shots to Erin : ) You will find these designs and more in Erin's Etsy shop!

A Happy Little Family

Several years ago during my last quarter at WWU I needed one credit left to graduate and decided I should kill two birds with one stone - finish up that credit AND get over my fear of being in deep, dark water by taking a sailing class! I spent that summer quarter frolicking on the water at one of my now favorite places- Western's lakeside property, Lakewood. Imagine how excited I was when the property's on-site caretakers Erin and Chris invited me to document their soon-to-be expanding family at their home on the lake! After a bit of belly-focused time  inside while we waited for the docks to clear of college students, we headed out for some shore-side fun! I had such a fabulous time documenting the two of them playing on the docks with their adorable, water-loving daughter Kajsa Mae and happy lab Solli that I really can't wait 'til I get to return in July to meet the baby boy currently residing inside Erin's belly! What a happy little family...
