Back in the day...10 ago when I started planning my wedding, someone gave me a great tip and told me to start tearing out pages in wedding magazines....so that I could formulate a plan and start getting my ideas together. In my lovely 3 ring notebook, I had dividers with pockets for all kinds of things, flowers, dresses, wedding photography that I liked. I just threw pages in there randomly, whenever I had time, and by the time I started meeting with vendors, I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for. Except for the flower department. It was amazing to be able to show my florist all of my seemingly random ideas, and she was able to pick out what I really liked...solid colors and large green leaves. yep. Thats I what I liked.

My baby turned 8….and I got sentimental!
November 17, 2011I definitely have a sentimental part of me that slows me down once and a while to look at old photos, yearbooks, scrapbooks and videos.....and this month my daughter turned 8...and after the party died down, I took some time to look at some videos that we had taken of my kids over the years. Then...I woke up at 5am and started watching again. I couldn't get enough of their little voices and little faces. There is something so precious about looking back on our past. It helps us to see where we have come from and that we've grown, changed and alot of times...we've stayed the same. It helps us remember our accomplishments (thanks mom and dad for video taping all my games, cheerleading, speeches, choir concerts and the list goes on and on!) and just some of the funny things we have done. I think that is why I love my job
So....what do you do when you uber creative sister in law gets engaged to a photographer? You shoot the most amazing engagement session ever. Done. She said rowboat..typewriter and suitcases....I died! UH-MAZE-ING. I had so much fun with these two at their house on Lake Washington.....what a fun place to live! Endless photo options.... One of my favorites on the dock.
I had so much fun with Tiffany and Daniel at their Fall inspired Day After Session at Craven Farm in Snohomish. These two are a great fit for each other and have creative juices just oozing out everywhere! They designed an amazing wedding and I can't wait to see the others she designs with her wedding design company, Dust & Decadence. She brought a few of the lovely elements from her wedding (see a sneak peek here!!) Another one of my favorites from the day! My favorite shot of the day! :)
Kirkland Waterfront Enagement Session | Fun times
November 3, 2011Lauren & Dan = Fun. I know this because I hung out with them at this fabulous wedding. I absolutely can't wait to hang out with the same crowd of crazy fun dancers at Lauran & Dan's Wedding. When I asked them how they met....they looked at each other and paused....hmm.....well...its as if they always were together. :) i like that. There is such an easy breezy way about their relationship that is a pleasure to be around. They are going to make a perfect old married couple someday... We hung out at the Kirkland waterfront and shot their engagement session...and laughed alot. And talked about what food alot. I can't wait till these two tie the knot. It shall be a fabulous day at Hidden Meadows. Apparently...this is a common mode of transport in their relationship. love it! My favorite pic of the day.
