One of my favorite lindy hoppin photographers that live in Seattle came down to visit and get her hike on. It has been CRAZY beautiful outside here in Washington for the last few days. I was glad when she decided to come down and visit even though my teeth hurt a little and I was starving from having my wisdom teeth pulled a few days prior. I suggested we go down to Nisqually Wildlife refuge cause it was beautiful when we were there last I just didnt bring my camera with me. I did take some awesome Iphone photos but still, not the same.

Then we picked up my friend Samantha and we hiked on down to DuPont Beach. I wont lie Samantha and I are very lucky to pretty much have this within walking distance from our house. It was seriously stunning outside even if the trail was a little rough since all the ice and snow knocked down a ton of trees.ps: pop up flash FTW. its not ALWAYS terrible.

Last week I was lucky enough to get to photograph little Eden’s cake smash. Eden has the most gorgeous eyes. I am a sucker for some baby blues.

She was a little hesitant at first.
Then she was all about it.
Next, she didnt want to move because she was covered in frosting.
Mom started to eat some too then she was ok and happy again.

It was the first cake smash Ive ever done and it was so much fun watching her do something she had never done before. Made me quite excited for my own little guys one year photos coming up so soon.

I have been wanting a studio for a long time. The room in my old home was just too small but here in Washington we picked this house because of its “studio.” Well, that wasnt the only reason but it was definitely a perk.also, the first person to book will receive a free mini album as a thank you!

Jason is moving away to college in a few weeks and Julia wanted to take some photos to send with him. I thought that was a fantastic idea so I obliged. We met up in Olympia at the state Capitol building. Its a LOT prettier then Raleigh’s capitol building. Plus everything is green and wonderful.

This year has been absolutely wonderful. I have had the privilege to meet so many new, awesome people. You guys are awesome for trusting me in your families memories. I truly appreciate you. Thank you.

This year instead of posting my favorites from the year Ill post a few of the kid I created this year. He’s adorable and I dont blog about him here because well, I was a photographer first. Not a mom. The roles have reversed a bit now, cause he needs a lot more attention than my business but I dont like mixing them all the same. Here are some of my favorites from this month. We’ve had fun with the Christmas theme.
