Amelia's grandparents, Peter and Penny, were in from the UK, so we got together for a few photos. They are the most adorable family imaginable.

Amanda + Jeff

These two are beautiful, fun, and adventurous, and I had a marvelous time photographing them. Now, if only they'd take me along on their upcoming 3-month trip around the world.

and just for fun...

finally!

So much for posting things in order! I took these photos less than a week before little Amelia was born. See my previous post for newborn photos of the little angel.

Amy, Andy, and their beautiful new daughter, Amelia, are such a lovely family. I was honored to spend some time with them so soon after Amelia's arrival. With only about two weeks under their belt as parents, A + A looked like pros.

It's been so long since I've posted anything! Oh my.

This shoot took place back in early October, but due to my wedding shortly thereafter I never got around to posting it. I met Nicole when I photographed her baby shower three years ago, just after moving to Seattle, so I was pleased as punch when she contacted me to do family photos of them with their adorable little boy. Finley was such a doll! And of course I always have a bit of a soft spot for fellow gingers. Fun times!

We had to wait out the rain, so we chose beers and board games at the Leary Traveler. Love that place!

And then the clouds parted, and it was time to play outside...

Olivia @ five

2010-05-25T23:45:00.000-07:00

I love having the opportunity to photograph the same child at different ages – seeing that child grow and mature and develop his or her unique personality. It’s all wonderfully fascinating. I photographed Olivia around this time last year, when she was four, and then got to do it again this past weekend. We had a great time wandering about the p-patch at Meridian Park. I highly recommend that space. Beautiful and inspiring.

(a day at the Washington Arboretum with their papa, Josh -- making wishes, climbing trees, watching ducks, blowing bubbles, playing superheros... oh, such joys to be had!)

Their pooch, Wasabi, witnessed these spetacles of delight from the comfort of the shade.

2010-05-13T07:30:00.000-07:00

I'm now committing to being a bus traveler (with a Zip car thrown in for good measure on occasion). One thing I want to do is document some of the fun things I encounter while walking to and from stops or while waiting for the bus to arrive. These markings on the bus map post made me smile. Happy Thursday!

such fun

a recent random film shot I liked:

Laura's Garden, Pt. 1

2010-04-01T22:39:00.000-07:00

This is my friend Laura. You may remember her from such posts as two days ago.

She and her hubbie, Carl, recently bought a fabulous house near West Seattle. Carl is an amazing carpenter, and together they've remodeled a good amount of the interior of their new home. It's inspiring to see what they've been able to accomplish with their own two hands. Similarly, there are high hopes for outside the house, where Laura is building a large-ish garden. She has the sort of green thumb that I envy with every ounce of my being. I've seen the scads of heirloom tomatoes she produced in her last garden; in fact, I was even the lucky recipient of a few of them. So I asked if I could document the genesis and trajectory of this new garden, and she graciously agreed.

The garden process began this past weekend with some rototilling. That's Carl doing the rototilling. It looked difficult.

And lots of raking. LOTS. Apparently all that grass has to go.

I hate that dandelions are considered weeds, because I love them. So I photographed them a lot. Maybe this love of weeds is why I don't make the best gardener. That, among other things.

Spring! I love it.

And, finally, here are the trellises that will eventually host those heirloom tomatoes of which I spoke so fondly. I cannot wait.

Most of all, I can't wait to witness more gardening grandeur. I'm giddy at the idea of watching vegetables, fruits, and flowers be planted, not to mention seeing them grow. And to then cook with those fruits and veggies, and to grace one's home with those flowers, well, it's beyond wonderful.

Maybe I'll even learn something in the process, and eventually, one day, be able to create a garden of my own.

Laura + Carl + One Lovely House

2010-03-29T23:31:00.000-07:00

Laura and Carl are rad people all around. And now they have a rad new home to call their own. So excited for them!

Olympia Fields

2010-03-28T23:56:00.000-07:00

I don't shoot with film nearly often enough. But whenever I do, I become re-inspired. These were taken in some blueberry fields out in Olympia, back in January.

2010-01-25T19:01:00.000-08:00

My sister and I out at a Seahawks game a few years back. I'm not sure why I felt like posting this, other than I can across it, and it makes me happy.

2010-01-25T18:53:00.000-08:00

I swear I'll post new photos eventually, rather than just posting stuff from my old blog. But for now, I'm in a nostalgic mood.

Ethan's niece, Amelia.

We got to hang out a bit during Thanksgiving down in Dallas. I hadn't seen her since she was about 6 months old, back when they lived in Seattle. It's amazing how much personality can develop in a little over a year.

Here's a photo I took of her last time around.

an old assignment from back in school. Photographing strangers. I remember being so scared to do approach people, only to find how fun it was.

Cody and Brandon

2009-11-18T20:58:00.000-08:00

In Seattle, if you wait for a perfectly sunny day to take photos, you might be waiting quite a long time. With this in mind, the ever adventurous Cody and Brandon met me on a drizzly, windy, gloomy-as-all-get-out Sunday. My fears that this would create a less than exuberant mood for our shoot were ill-founded; no matter the weather, these two are all smiles around each other. Moral of the story: fall in love and go play in the rain.

(The last photo was actually taken in the warm indoors, in Brandon's rather awesome shop, Clone Press.)

Because it's gloomy outside...

2009-11-15T09:05:00.000-08:00

In a few hours I have to bundle up and mentally prepare for the cold. I don't mind, because I'm going to be doing some photos with two awesome people. But still, some images of sunnier days can't hurt.

By the Sea Shore

2009-11-14T14:01:00.000-08:00

Some film shots, using an old Nikon manual with an equally old 50mm f/1.2 lens. I love that camera. These were taken at the beach at Olympic National Park, during a trip with my sister.

Olivia

2009-11-14T13:51:00.000-08:00

My friend Ashley's daughter, Olivia, is simply beautiful. No two ways about it. We did this photo shoot sometime during the summer, during that glorious time in Seattle when you don't have to fight for moments of sunshine. Such a fun memory, and such an adorable, spirited little girl.

A Few Days in Yakima Valley

2009-11-09T23:28:00.001-08:00

Back in September I had the privilege (and pleasure) of spending 2 weekends photographing different vineyards, winemakers, and growers in Yakima Valley. It was an amazing experience, full of gracious hosts.

Talking to the incredibly talented people who grow the grapes and make the wine, tasting different varietals straight off the vines, and seeing parts of the valley I wouldn't have otherwise, for a wine lover (and novice) like myself, it was sort of ridiculously delightful.

To learn more about these wonderful wineries, go to http://www.wineyakimavalley.org/.

And here are the wineries' direct websites:

To initiate my new photo blog, I wanted to include some images from my recent trip to NYC. From Coney Island to Red Hook to Ft. Tryon Park, and everything in between, so much for the eye to behold.
