Out on the town!

I'm a little biased (considering this is my brother's family) but I really like taking photos of this family! It's really too easy! They were nice enough to trust me and let me take them downtown for some family photos and I think they turned out really cute! Thanks guys!

Play ball!

It's crazy to think that my baby boy has grown into a strapping young 2 year old! Wow, people told me it would go by fast...and they were right! My little man is a budding baseball player. One of the most clear terms in his broken english is "ba-ball gane" He LOVES to hit, throw and catch the baseball. He loves to watch games on TV and we even took him to a Rainiers game. It was not as succesful and we hoped, but he did pretty well considering we got there at his normal bed time.

Find a penny..pick it up

Looking for "buggies" We had an earwig family living in our mail box for a while that he would insist on visiting daily. It's a wonder they moved out after the friendly visits from a two year old sticking his head in the mail box and yelling "HI BUGGIES"

Ah, and the elusive "pop-sy-cle" I can get him to do anything for one of these sweet treats. It's really hard to not use it as a daily bribe. We are trying to teach about "muscle foods" as we call them, but it's hard to explain how come we can't have popsicles for dinner when they taste so good.

Happy 2 years bug! I love you!

All grown up!

Recently I got a chance to reconnect with a childhood friend. It was fun to see how we have both grown and to think back of memories of getting into trouble together at church... :) She has such a beautiful family. I had a fun time walking around town with them while stopping here and there to capture some photos of them. Thanks you guys!

Thanks Rushtons!

A day in the life of a one year old!

I had so much fun with this little guy and his parents. Never have I met such a smiley, camera ready one year old. It made my job pretty easy :) When I get asked to come and take photos of children, I like to try and capture them in their natural environment as much as possible. I know from experience that this little guy who you think will stay one forever, grows up way too fast and it's hard to remember what milestones they had accomplished, toys they couldn't live without etc.
I love this family shot!

See what happens when I try to pose these kiddos! :)

He was cracking us up playing peek-a-boo with his blankets!

Next, it was bath time. I have SO many cute images of him in the tub but this one was my favorite. He is such a happy boy!

This was our very lost shot, and very fitting. We wore him out, and there's nothing better for a one year old than ending the day with a little snuggling from mom!

Baby boy Young!

I'm especially excited for this July, when baby "no name" Young will be born. Why? Because he's going to be my newest nephew. This is my sister and her husband. We like to walk this golf course a lot, and thought it would be fun to throw in a few maternity shots while we were at it. I felt like I was doing an engagement photo shoot. They are so cute together and so much in love! They have a name picked out already, but won't tell any of us. I have tried to interrogate them a few times, but it is fort knox! Look forward to July when I'll post the big reveal with some cute newborn shots! Congrats you two! Enjoy :)

It's summer....almost!

Ah, summer! After months and months of dreary, cold, wet weather we finally get a glimpse of SUMMER! It was such a fun day sunday when my son got to play in the front yard with his cousin. Their activity of choice..diving fully clothed into the water fountain! Sometimes, I just let it happen. It made for some great photo ops that's for sure! They had a blast...I'm excited to see what other trouble these two can get into this year:)
