Birth is unpredictable. What was envisioned to be a home birth in Ballard ended up being an induction at Northwest Hospital in Seattle. Soleil’s mama, Katie, tells it best: “Every birth has its story. For us, our daughter’s birth journey felt a little bit like having a ticket for Jamaica but getting on the wrong boat and […]

This spot held special […]

I love, love, love adventurous clients! These two huskies just begged to be photographed where their personalities would shine – in the snow! So we strapped on our snowshoes and headed out for a hike up at Steven’s Pass. Pretty sure these pups had fun… 😉

One of my favorite things about being a family photographer is getting to spend a little time being silly and playing with sweet kiddos. And at this session, I’m pretty sure I’ve found the happiest little baby EVER! Odessa is six months old, and she absolutely hammed it up for the camera throughout her entire […]
