Little Aine Elaine and her parents

I photographed a pregnant Piper Moore and her hubby Seth back in May. I told them that I would keep our photos off any public site until after they gave birth to their daughter Aine Elaine Moore, because at the time I was the only person other than them who knew Aine’s name. It was really sweet, because they wanted to use some blocks to spell out her name and have them in the photos. That is why these shots have stayed off of my blog!

We went to Greenlake and walked around while we shot. They wanted to make sure that Seth was in most of the shots, so we played with traditional maternity shots and more portrait style.

I found out recently that Piper gave birth to a healthy baby girl, so congrats to the new family!

Barrett + Tom = Happily Ever After

This weekend I ventured over to Vashon Island just Southwest of Seattle for Barrett and Tom’s wedding. Vashon is the cutest little town. When my assistant and I were driving to the venue, we passed this major “event” on the island which was the largest yard sale I think I have ever seen! I swear, there are some things that will only happen on an island. I could have sworn half the island was there; I was just sad that I didn’t have time to stop and look around!

Anyway…I was super happy waking up on Saturday to be met with beautiful blue skies out my window, which look much better than the scary thunder, lightning and RAIN storms that had been off and on all week long. In any other part of the country, one could assume that a late August wedding is safe to have outdoors, but here in the beautiful Pacific NW… one can never know!

I met Tom and Barrett at Pt. Robinson Light House for their first site and pictures. I had orchestrated with the Vashon Parks departmet (who were super helpful) to have Captian Joe there to let Barrett’s dad’s mid 70′s Cherry Red bathtub Porsche (for those who aren’t German car literate a bathtub Porsche looks like an upside down old fashioned bathtub… look here.) It was so fun to have the rustic feel of the lighthouse with such a classic car! We did most photos there and then drove over to the Tramp Harbor Dock for the rest of the bridal pics. Vashon is such a cute island! There were endless places we could have found to take photos. I am inspired to take an old Rollieflex and bum around that town for a day.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites from their beautiful day. Thank you to Barrett and Tom for choosing me to spend it with you! I had a blast.



Tom and Barrett got to spend a couple minutes alone at the top of the lighthouse… but then the door locked on them! Luckily there was enough of us around to run up and let them back out… they did have somewhere to be after all :P

This shot reminds me of lovers lane in the 70s… ( and the blurred out license plate is just for the web)

The food was done by Shefidgets Catering on Vashon. The food was so beautiful that I had to get some shots of is through the venue Sound Food (where the wedding was).

The cookies were their party favors. Supe cute!

The groomsmen’s gifts were a bottle of Jameson and a harmonica! It was very clever. And there was a groomsman who didn’t want to get to far from is bottle of Jameson!

Baby Ethan

This kid has a smile to melt hearts. Ashleigh is moving back to Canada this week, and she wanted some photos of her son before she went. She realized that Ethan was turning 7 months and she still didn’t have any photos done of him. So, we went out this evening right before his bedtime, and he was still super happy and not cranky… we shot till the crakiness arrived, then called it a day. This kid is cute!

Ashleigh will have reason to dread this look when he gets older. All ready looking mischievous before he can even crawl.

He didn’t want me taking pictures of his toes :)

But I got some anyway!
