I started mentoring Rachel about a year ago. When she approached me, I knew I loved her work. She’s got a natural eye. And it didn’t take long to figure out that she’s motivated and driven. That’s the kind of photographer I want to mentor. Someone who wants to put the work in. And wow, has she!!

When I told her I’d be coming up to Seattle for mini sessions in April, we got the idea to trade family sessions. I think it’s so much fun to see two completely different perspectives of the same park taken at the same time(ish) of day!! If you’re curious, you can view our session here. (Spoiler alert: we both have preschool aged boys. There was jumping.)

I bumped this session to the front of the editing list (which I never do!)…because, being super pregnant myself, I know how hard those last days and weeks can be. I really wanted Peri to see how beautiful her life is right this very minute (as if she doesn’t know). Everything is about to change for these three (with little one due in just 5 days!!). And the love is going to multiply a million fold, I’m sure. But LOOK at these adoring smiles. All three of them are completely smitten with one another. How beautiful is that? I was so happy we were able to squeeze in this session before baby’s arrival. Now I’m just holding my breath waiting for baby news. Happy, healthy and uncomplicated labor and delivery thoughts heading your way, Peri! Magnolia is going to be the sweetest big sister.

Side note, I bet it was pretty funny watching a 7 month pregnant woman photograph a 9 month pregnant woman next to the baseball game going on at the park!

I will never get enough of this family in front of my camera. All three of these ladies are stunningly beautiful and so full of joy and personality. And can I just mention their hair?! Love. Thank you Becky, Alice and Willa for coming out to play with me! Any time you want to do it again, I’m in!!

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Karlee and Matt have got this one figured out. I’ve rarely seen a more calm, present and engaged couple of parents. And when you have two one-year-olds, that’s kind of a big deal. I was honored to spend part of the day with these two and their little cuties. I can’t believe how much they’ve grown in a year. From tiny little preemies, to these capable, curious, full of personality toddlers…you’re doing something right, Mom and Dad! I can’t wait until our next chance to play!
