The E’s – some of my favorite people {Snoqualmie, WA}

I know I haven’t posted since May, which doesn’t give my clients a sense of “fame” and doesn’t give interested clients a view of my current work.  Sorry!  I’ll be caught up in the next month (although there is SOOOO many interesting things I’ve photographed since May so stay tuned…that said, here’s one of my latest clients….

This is the fourth year I’ve photographed the E’s. I’ve watched their little boy grow up and their little girl being born. I really do love working with my clients so that we really do feel like friends. The kids feel more comfortable and it’s so much easier for me. It really makes me love my job so much more. This time we get to see the newest addition to the family…little S. So adorable and I think it’s funny when clients ask if they can bring their dog because I’m such a dog nut and we have 2 BIG dogs on top of our already crazy life!

I’m ALWAYS excited when I can get siblings under 4 together, both looking and smiling.
Moms and dads with cameras and the photogs that are reading this know that’s sort of an elusive shot!
I included this because I remember when each of my kids used to try and EAT ME for kisses and I thought it was the most adorable thing and they don’t do it for that long!

Again, most of those that know me, know that I love the simple not posey posey pics. Kids really being themselves, looking, exploring and just being. I think those are some of the most beautiful pics.
One on my cousins once said to me that she looked back on some pics I had snapped of her son and she realized she didn’t have any profile shots except the ones I had taken and she was so glad later that she could remember this. I really believe even if you don’t have me take your pics, you should be taking the not just posed and smiling pics because that’s not always who the child is and you miss out on those little memories from this time.
I was so proud of the newest addition sitting still when we all know there a millions of things that puppies like to do besides sitting still for pics!

Sometimes, I wonder if people will get my “vision”. I LOVED this pic because little A was so worried about his new puppy. Anytime the dog left or ran to play, little A was watching and asking mom and dad. What a blessing the E’s have given him to grow up with such a wonderful dog. Personally, I think that’s one of the best gifts you can give a child…but I’m really a dog person!
