Hawkins Family

The Hawkins family asked me to shoot some family portraits in December that could maybe be used for their Christmas card and a reveal that they’re expecting their fourth child. After needing to reschedule a few times for various reasons, the day that we finally committed to was very cold and windy. Being a fun and adventerous family, the Hawkins family didn’t let a little PNW weather dampen their mood. The above image was used to announce their pregnancy, which I totally love. Enjoy some of my favorite images from this blustery session.

Finding My Bravery in B’ham

I finally got around to some pictures that I took while attending the Wildflowers workshop late last year. I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend and the women that I met are becoming friends that I can nerd-out and ask photography-related questions to. A few things that I learned about myself at the workshop:

1. I am a creative person.

2. I like to hear REAL stories about life well lived and often adore people brave enough to share.

3. I want to be brave enough to tell those stories through pictures.

4. I am a brave person.

Here are some of my favorites:

Cuties in the City

I got to take some gorgeous pictures of my friend Molly and her family a couple weeks ago. I’ve known Molly since we were kids and we’ve always had a shared sense of humor and she’s somebody that really sees how fun and funny life can be. In taking their pictures, and looking over them later, I really was touched by how obvious is that Molly and her husband, Bill, love their two kids. Joy is seeping out from nearly every image. Here are a few of my favorite images.
