Renton WA Family / Child Portrait Photographer

Taking a day off…{Newcastle, WA}

As a photographer I am always looking at the side of the road…for…possiblities.  There never seems to be enough time to do all of the things I imagine.  Sounds like a Beatles song or something deep, doesn’t it.  But I’m sure we all feel similar.  Today, I grabbed the kids.  Not dressed special.  A big bag of candy.  And a promised trip to Target to stop by a trail I pass almost every day.  As the hikers wondered what we were doing the kids played and posed and I took pics.  They are getting sooo big already.  Couldn’t make up my mind on color or black and white, so I did both…

Press the FS (full screen)button on the lower right hand corner to view the slideshow BIG.

…and in case you didn’t believe me,  a video so you can taste a tiny bit of what happens when I’m trying to catch my kids pictures…

Yaaaay, finally for a GREAT friend! :)

I LOVE shooting in August (so warm and comfy). I LOVE shooting my friends, but this friend has a special place in my heart. Her whole family is wonderful and affectionate and warm. LOVE LOVE LOVE…alright too mushy for you…sorry. J is one of my great friends that we always (well most always) seem to make time to catch up in a sometimes crazy, busy world.
Sorry it took me so long! Hope you guys enjoy as much as I did taking them.

Whew, that was quick! :)

I love the L’s, this is my 3rd time with them an their family. I have to admit, thought, it’s a challenging session. Although,
I think any session with multiples is challenging. They have 1 year old boy twins, a 3 year old and 5 year old sister. So, this type of session is where my wrangling skills come in to play. Also, these sessions tend to be quicker because there is only so long that 4 children can play and be happy! I am surprised with all of my clients with many small children, how well behaved the kids are. Maybe part of that is that I’m comfortable and don’t get easily flustered, but I also think that they must share more often because there are more of them and they learn that lesson sooner than others…just a thought!

OMGoodness, can you stand the sweetness

I love photographing this little girl. She has so many emotions and is almost the same age as my oldest.
She’s adorable, just like mommy and who doesn’t love shooting in full sun on the lake!!
