Danielle & Gavin's Vizcaya Wedding | Sacramento, CA

This wedding was photographed by Anita Martin and Jo Clark on my behalf. I met Gavin and Danielle last year when I photographed their Sacramento engagement session. We discovered that Gavin went to high school with my husband and that we had a handful of mutual friends. They are awesome people and I knew that their wedding would be a blast. As you can see from the photos that definitely turned out to be true! I am so in love with the energy and personality in these photos.

I am so happy to be able to share this wedding with you. Big shout out to Anita and Jo for capturing Danielle and Gavin's wedding exactly as I would have!

Anita being awesome at what she does!

Sweet Baby Charlie | Seattle family photographer

Okay, so I'm technically on maternity leave but when your good friend, due date buddy, and neighbor has her baby girl 2 weeks early sometimes you just have to "go back to work" for a morning :) Christy and I were both due on July 26th but Charlie decided to come last Friday leaving me and my big old belly in the dust. I'm extra anxious and bored waiting for my turn so I offered to do some newborn/family photos for my good friends. We joked that maybe it would put me into labor. I'll have to get back to you on that one but I think I still have a while. Ho hum. Brad and Christy are the parents to adorable 2 year old Brooke and sweet Charlie is their new baby girl. Isn't that the cutest name ever? She was born 6lbs 10oz but was down to just under 6lbs at her pediatrician appointment. She still has adorable chubby cheeks so she doesn't seem all that small to me. She also has PERFECT baby skin - glowing and soft! She was a happy camper nearly the entire time we took photos and big sis Brooke was amazing!

The Hamlin Family | Seattle Family Photographer

Have I talked about how many great photographers there are in the Seattle area? Jessica Hamlin is no exception. I've been familiar with Jessica's name and work for years now and when I got an email from her requesting a family session I was both flattered and excited. I was newly pregnant so Jessica and I worked out a trade - I'd shoot her family if she did our newborn photos. Aren't I a lucky girl to be able to arrange such things? I am counting down the days until Jessica can photograph our baby girl, hopefully later this month if she arrives on time :) Jessica's two boys were fun, hilarious, and sweet. We played around at Discover Park, enjoying a warm day in June. It's fun for me to photograph families in Seattle in the warm sun - I know its not always typical here but when that sun is out I feel very thankful to live in such a beautiful city. While I miss my home state of California, I don't miss worrying about rattlesnakes, dry weeds that stab you through your jeans, or sessions in 105 degree heat. haha
