The Gross Family | Skagit County Family Photographer

How cute are these kiddos??  SO CUTE!!!  We met up with Joey and Blake down by Chuckanut to play with the rocks, search for crabs and to sneak in some family photos!  Last year we met when Brayden was just a wee one and Kennedy is still cute as a button!  I can’t believe how much they change in one year!

Enjoy those crystal clear blue eyes and leave Joey and her family lots of comments!!

Look at little Brayden’s guns!  Look out!

She will always be daddy’s little girl:-)

Bring Your Kids In Costume! | Bellingham Portrait Photographer

I can’t believe it’s already that time of year again!!  Halloween is in a week!!  The last two years we have hosted a fun time for parents to bring their children to our home for photos of their kiddos in cute lil costumes.  Although we have had this on Halloween in years past, we will be doing these photos on Saturday October 29th.  This way you can not only swing by our studio downtown but also enjoy the downtown Bellingham trick or treating from business to business.  Here are the details:

Trick or Treating and Halloween Photos

October 29th from 2:30-4:00 pm

19 Prospect St. (Corner of Prospect and Champion in the art district)

Cost: Not Free:-) -  In order to get a photo taken, we ask that you bring a donation that will be given to the Lighthouse Mission

We were thinking $10, but they can really use our help if you want to donate more.

If you write a check please make it out to – ‘Lighthouse Mission’

All in all we just want to host a fun time and capture some great images of your cute kiddos:-).

We’ll be capturing the images in the studio and they will be made available for download on Sunday the 30th.  Here is a taste, a few photos from the last two years of Halloween photos.  Good times and we look forward to seeing you all Saturday!!

Ahh, we can’t wait to see what you guys come up with this year:-).

I can’t wait for the cuteness!

Reece | Stanwood Senior Photos

Every senior photo-shoot is as unique as the student that we are photographing.  Some just want some great images of them at this time in their life and others like to shoot within a theme or context that helps define them as students and people.  Reece came to the table with some ideas for what he had in mind with the shoot.  We had a blast capturing the images and he was stoked with what we were able to come up with for them.  Here’s a peek into the shoot.  Enjoy and all the best to Reece in his future endeavors!!

Shari + Trent | Bellingham Wedding Photographer | Records, Umbrellas and Pulled Pork

Shari and Trent – I just adore them!  They are such unique and amazing individuals, and as a couple they compliment each other so well!  Shari is an incredibly talented graphic designer, as you’ll see with all the details below!  And Trent owns a record shop, so it was only natural to have them as part of the details!  While recovering from some minor food poisoning the day before, Shari looked out of her hotel window at the rain and just smiled.  Because she is that kind of person who sees the good in everything and everyone!!  She didn’t care that it was raining!  She was feeling much better today than the day before!  She was so extremely excited/thankful/happy to be marrying the man that would be at the alter that day!

Congratulations to Shari and Trent!  We are beyond honored that we were able to capture your big day!!!  Enjoy marriage!!!

From Mommy-to-be To Mommy+Newborn | Portrait Photography

Their is always a story to be told in an image, at the same time some we connect with more or more personally.  Our hope was to do some maternity photos that included Adam before he was deployed.  Meg and I were so glad we could make it work.  Weeks later, Noah was born, whoo hoo!!  Great work Cathy and congrats papa Adam!!  Congratulations to you both and welcome lil’ Noah!

She’s glowing:-)!!

Hi lil’ Noah!!

Baby, Mommy and Daddy’s truck!

Can’t wait for Adam to see this photo of his three babies:-).  Sorry it’s not the car Adam.

And hey Adam, thanks so much for sacrificing this time with your fam for us and our families!  You’re amazing!
