Josie and Derek are expecting their little girl in a little over a month.

Firstborns are always exciting, looking at the earnest anticipation in Josie and Derek’s eyes. The enthusiasm is contagious!

Josie is one of those long-torsoed expectant mommies who carry so elegantly.

It was a rainy afternoon. My pretty see-through brolly came out to play once more.

THanks Josie and Derek! I’ll see you guys in a month!

This is my first wedding of the year, an intimate little affair right in my corner of the world.

Albeit a stressful start (my husband lost our car keys – we only had the one car), we were just in time for some fabulous shots as the sun broke out for a good half an hour.

And as luck would have it, the front yard of Lise and Eric’s home faced west!

After a few pictures at home, we drove down the hill to take some more at our beautiful valley.

And on to the wedding at Lake Tye. It was cold but Lise was a trooper and braved it for more pics!

This has got to be my fave. I love the look on Lise’s face. This was right before they exchanged their vows.

I wish you all my best, Lise + Eric. Congratulations!!

My second Baby A for the day, this time a boy!

Baby push-ups!

Such a smiley chap.

Very drooly too

Ticklish!

Fun family pic. Thanks Charltons!

When I walked in the door today for Baby N’s seven-month shoot, she had just gone down for her nap.

But little did mom Chel know that this was waiting for me when I peeked in!

Oh well, there goes plans for her nap. She was just too happy to be sleeping!

Mom and dad can’t help making funny faces at their cute little bub.

Love the hat!

She was sticking her tongue out at me the whole time! Utterly adorable.

Who does she look like?

Some daddy time.

Awww!

Wheeeeee!

Mommy’s turn for some Baby N love!

Baby N looks like a real life doll here! If not for her toes, you’d think she was one!

So cute I have to post one more.

Look at those baby blues!

Baby Legs on baby legs!

Patiently waiting for her snack…

Yummy sweet potato!

Sheer delight!

Chunky sweet potato fingers!

A bath to clean up all the mess!

A last outfit for the holidays!

Always thankful for a dry day here in Seattle, and what a beautiful morning it was for a shoot.

I photographed little E last year when I first started my business. How quickly these little ones grow. Today, we took a walk around their beautiful neighborhood, picking those pretty fall leaves. After that, chocolate chip pancakes were made and had, before sweet E showed me her beautiful room where mom and dad read a story together.

What a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Thanks Schusters!
