Michael and Katie: The Wedding
Michael and Katie were married on a Spring day just as the buds were appearing on the trees and the crab apple blossoms exploding. The day before their wedding it has snowed.

Malarie and Eric: The Engagement Session
Malarie and Eric are in love. In beautiful love that involves small gestures to say “I love you” every few minutes. Kisses, hand holding, cuddles that seem to indicate they both have found their home with each other. We met up for an evening of fun, games, and public displays of affection at the Boulder […]
River: Twenty-one Months
Dearest River, You are getting to be such a big (little) girl! I’m serious. While it’s exciting it’s also sort of bittersweet as we learn to accept you truly are growing up. We look at you when you’re sleeping and try to remember what you used to look like and how you used to fit […]

Love between parents. Love between a couple married sixty three wonderful years. Music infused with experience and with a message that […]

The third, this one, a true Seattle wedding with all their family and friends. It was filled with magical moments dancing on the beach. With family dancing in circles waving handkerchiefs. […]
