Well, all though its still almost 70 degrees over here in West Richland, in the Tri Cities, I decided it was time to pull out the Fall decorations on DIY my porch! I shopped my house & a little at the goodwill and threw a few DIY pumpkins in there and boom! It was done! I love mixing in my favorite color, turquoise in with all of the fall colors.  A little turquoise never hurt anyone!

Some of my fun fall finds:

• I found my wreath taken apart and thrown in a bag at the goodwill. That and a fall vine = $3.99
• All of the furniture and stumps were found in my lovely garage = $0
• Old books = $0
• Yarn Covered Tin Can Vases (for my lovely fake flowers!) = $0 (made with left over yarn)
• A few bunches of Walmart special fake mums = $3 each x 3 = $9
• Cheap pumpkins at Grocery Outlet! LOVE THAT PLACE! = $2.99 each x 3

I love a DIY craft…and I especially love shooting DIY Weddings. If you are looking for an Eastern Washington or Mid Columbia Wedding Photographer who loves DIY Weddings…I wanna shoot your wedding! please contact me via my Contact page! I want to hear all about your plans for your wedding day!

Amy & Nolan’s Wedding Funbooth was such a blast! It included a Golden Pig from Pike Place Market! Very classic Seattle!! :)

Just a sneak peek of my last lovely fall engagement session in Kirkland! These two are super fun, super in love and I can’t wait for their destination wedding in sunny Eastern Washington! At one of my very favorite places…Sunserra at Crescent Bar!!

Crescent Bar is one of my favorite places because its there at Crescent Bay Resort, that late one night, as the summer sun was going down, my daughter finally learned to swim. We had been working on it for a few months and it just clicked! She put her face in the water and basically hasn’t gotten up since! ( not really, but figuratively! She swims so much that we call her Tadpole!).

Anyway…back to Courtney and Jeff’s Story! They met a years ago, then met again 4 years later on a fun weekend in San Diego…and the rest is kind of history.

We took a stroll around the waterfront in Kirkland and it was a blast! I loved that these two love to run together and we got to capture that as well!

This is one of my favorite places in Kirklnad! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dock! Luckily for us, because it was fall, and not in the middle of summer, this place was kind of a ghost town compared to what it would normally be on a nice sunny day in the summertime!  

I just love images that scream “I’m Home!”

I had such a sweet time with Little Miss E! Since we moved to the Tri Cities in April, I’ve been secretly having my eye on this little one…waiting for the special day I would get to photograph her. Her parents go to our incredible church, Life Church Tri Cities, and I think I met her parents the first week we were there….and Little Miss E too!

Aren’t her big blue eyes just to die for?? I thought this one was going to take  some more warming up…and I’ve been working on my baby friendly smile tactics…but I really didn’t even need to, because she was ready to be a star (and I had her 2 amazing parents, and her fun brothers that were there to do all the hard work!).

I love one year olds because they are a little independent and still are relatively dependent…and they love attention! I  had so much fun with all the pink and pearls in this session!  I headed to their house for the session and I was excited to see a full table of fun clothes and accessories to choose from!

I always love snagging a few images of sweet little teeth that are just coming (or falling out, for that matter). It marks such a specific and short time in our kids lives, I love to make sure we get that on film…and I count it as a little challenge for myself! I’m so glad I got a few of these!

The other thing I love to shoot when doing a kids portrait session is hands….hands change so much over time and I just can’t get enough of little chubby fingers and wrists!  So Sweet!

Here is just a teeny tiny sneak peek from a fabulously chevrony elegant, but not stuffy wedding we got to be a part of in Seattle in the Atrium Loft  above  Pike Place Market! One of the most unique views of the Pike Place Market sign I have ever seen…and I had no idea it was even there! The rain didn’t have anything on us that day…I mean…It wouldn’t be a Seattle Pike Place Market wedding without a few rain drops, right??

I was just dying over the cool wood paneled walls in the Goodwin Library. Amy warned me….that I would love the walls and the light in the place…and of course, she was so right!!! I walked in and was in awe of the cool view, the walls and the amazing light coming in through all of the gorgeous windows! She knew what she was talking about!

So, here are just a few of my favorite images from just after the first look! Lots more of these to come!!
