Baby Jasper

06.27.09

Remember Mary, Alex & Sancho? They made a baby! (Well, I don’t think Sancho had anything to do with it.)

Baby Jasper came into this world on May 3rd, 2009 and has been taking in everything he can with those big blue eyes ever since.

I met up with them and Mary’s parents at Villa Heidelberg, a quaint 100 year old bed & breakfast in West Seattle for a newborn + new family session.

Kids Portraits : Frank & George

11.21.08

Frank & George joined me for a portrait session gifted by Catherine (the sweetest real estate agent in Seattle). Their blue eyes and rosy cheeks made my job easy like Sunday morning.

Yancey Family Portraits

11.12.08

I spent a gorgeous fall morning with the Yancey family awhile back. Their friends gifted them a portrait session and I’m honored they chose me for it.

Baby Ayelet and her new tooth.

After 2 quick setups at the house, we headed to Dahl Playfield in Ravenna for some fun. The two oldest girls had great energy. We jumped, swang on monkey bars and spun around so many times on the carousel that this old lady (me) almost tossed her cookies.

My Cousins

09.11.08

I’m back and still trying to catch up on sleep. Acupuncture & massage at the Union Center for Healing this afternoon should help speed the process along. The wedding was awesome. My first ever hurricane wedding (Hanna). The base to one of my flashes was broken by a flying tent wall but otherwise everything went smoothly. Sara, Matt, Jessica, Chris, Leslie, Hannah, Christy – thank you for treating me like a rock star. Come visit your new Seattle friend soon! On the way from NY to Rhode Island I stopped by my cousin’s house in Connecticut to visit for a few hours and break up the drive. I arrived just in time to see her daughter Holly off the bus, fresh from her first week of kindergarten.

Carkeek Family Portraits : Mary, Alex & Sancho

08.15.08

I used to see Mary years ago for massage therapy when my main lady couldn’t fit me in. She always had great massage music on the stereo; Nouvelle Vague, Regina Spektor and Madeleine Peyroux. My insurance eventually ran out and I let things slide. It was a nice surprise to get an email from her asking for family portraits with her husband Alex & dog Sancho. She said “people always look like they’re having so much fun in your photos”. I have no idea what she’s talking about.
Sancho, getting his licks in:

another random dog wanted in on the action.

sweet Sancho

this could be the cover of their debut folk album, no?

and the inside spread will be:

looking for Sancho

We re-hydrated and went to cool off by the jungle gym area

this kid was hilarious

sweet sunset time:

Ok, I know this shot is so late 70’s cheeseball but i just had to take it. It makes me want to sing the Riunite song. I hope they don’t mind my indulgence!

Thank you guys for sharing your day with me and much thanks to Alex for making me that Johnny Guitar Watson cd. I looove it!
