Happy Halloween – Bellingham Baby Photographer

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Today was a great day! I decided to have an impromptu photo shoot at our house on Thursday – and I’m so glad I did! For quite a few of us – it is our kiddos first Halloween – and what better way to say ‘We love you!’ to our munchkins than to dress them up in ridiculously cute costumes! Thank you to all who came over!

All monies received are headed straight to Bellingham’s Lighthouse Mission – thank you!

Elysse – High School Graduation Photographer

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

In the midst of the craziness of this fun run of portrait and wedding shoots, it looks like the high school seniors are starting to wind down.  I met up with Elysse to shoot here in Bellingham and this Sehome Senior was up to the task of playing the part of model.  You’ll find Elysse in Sehome’s dramas and choir concerts as well.  We had a good time doing a bit of a tour of Bellingham and it was a lot of fun and we all  laughed… a lot (at Elysse, Lisa’s and my expense:).  Enjoy these highlights.

Bellingham Real Estate Photographer

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

This last week I met up with Neal Swanson of Windemere Real Estate and did some head shots for him.  Neal is a commercial Real Estate agent so if you are in need of his services you should definitely contact him here.  We met in Fairhaven to do his photos and I had the pleasure of meeting his wife Katie of Katie’s Cupcakes.  And yes I did get to try a few cupcakes with Meg and they were awesome!  The chocolate and pumpkin were awesome!  Well here are the photos.  Enjoy!

Child Photographer

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Literally, I photographed my child:-).  Today I couldn’t resist stopping by Boulevard for a coffee and quick couple of photos of Grant at the park.  This lil mini photo shoot is also for Nina (who’s son Liam we photographed last week), she gave Grant this hat and said we could have it if she saw photos of Grant in it.   He is so stinkin cute that I can’t get over it!  Enjoy.

Ahh, Finally Dylan’s Photo Shoot

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I’ve been waiting too long to do this photo shoot of Dylan.  Dylan is the same age as Grant but look at that head of hair, I love it!  Dylan seriously gives Grant a run for his money in the cuteness department:-).  Dylan it was great to see you and have an opportunity to photograph you!  Enjoy this sneak peak.

Jessica’s Senior Sesh –

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

We met up with Jessica and she was looking for a natural look in her photos.  So we headed for the trees:-).  Meg and I utilized our speedlights quite a bit to get this feel and Jessica really pops in these photos.  Thanks for letting us do these photos for you Jessica and enjoy this preview!

Colton’s a Star!

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Just a couple of weeks ago we did a post with Rikki still pregnant and now it’s time to feature Colton.  It was amazing hanging out with Todd and Rikki, you honestly wouldn’t be able to tell that they are living with a newborn.  You guys are awesome and it was great to meet your little guy!  Enjoy.

Brian + Vanessa – Lynden Engagement Session

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

I’ve heard it many times before – ‘I’m really not into photos’.  And usually my response is – ‘You sound like a dude’.  Here in lies one of the greatest functions of engagement photos for our clients.  My ultimate goal along with capturing some great images is to prove to the ‘dudes’ that it’s all good and not as painful as it seems.  In fact, we can have fun with it all.  When it came to Brian I had a bit of an advantage because he was absolutely in his element.  Brian is currently the president of the Puget Sound Antique Tractor Association and plays a huge part in the up keep of the park and infrastructure.  You can even find some of his Tractors in the barn, which was pretty cool to check out!  Okay, so all that to say that we couldn’t have picked a more comfortable place for Brian and Vanessa to do their photos.  All this talk about Brian, I have to mention that Vanessa was just in her element being with Brian and getting great photos done:-).  Meg and I are very excited to be a part of your big day.  Enjoy!

Meg and I were kind of obsessive about using the pitch forks.  Normally we have to tell a couple.  Pretend you have pitch forks.  We actually had pitch forks, whoo hoo.

You can only be so seriously for so long, ha.

And my take on Megs shot above.  It’s so fun editing and seeing how our perspectives are different.

Vanessa’s one request was a photo in front of this cabin.

I don’t know when Meg snagged this but look at that beautiful rim light off my big ol’ bald head.  Ah, that’s pretty.

He’s Back – Grant

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Someone asked us to do a Grant update.  So here it is.  Grant is no longer starting to teeth, he’s teethed.  It’s fun to watch his personality really come out in the last month or two!  And there it is, such a ‘thoughtful’ little kiddo.
