Ursula’s Labor Story | Seattle WA

Posted in Bumps and Babies

A few years back, I took a doula course (click here for more information on what a doula is), and I was absolutely fascinated by the class discussions and lectures, a rather more grown up and less first-hand version of an interest in pregnancy than stuffing a pillow up my shirt, as mentioned in a previous post. Ursula invited me to be her photographer and doula for her second birth. It was my first time witnessing a new little life being born, and it was such a privilege to be there to support her and her family and to tell her birth story in photos. You did such a great job, Ursula; I’m so proud of you! Thank you for allowing me to share these images.

Have no worries, the following images are rated PG. :)

Oscar, the “other baby” | Pet Portraits, Seattle WA

Posted in Portraits, Puppies

It’s no secret I love puppies. Ask my boyfriend Jake, and he’ll tell you that I exclaim, “I want a puppy!” no fewer than 10 times a week. By the way, I call ALL dogs puppies, even if they’re old enough to have gray fur on their snouts. Oscar the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is a people-loving, squirming, licking-every-face-that’s-close-enough, growling-at-nothing-in-particular, with a face that’s impossible not to love, kind of dog that feels tortured when forced to be more than 10 feet away from his people. During the maternity session with Jackie and Justin, he whined and whimpered until we included him. Given that he’s so dang cute, who could deny him that?! Photographing puppies is just so fun!

Jackie + Justin’s Baby Bump | Maternity Portrait Shoot, Seattle WA

Posted in Bumps and Babies, Portraits

I think women with pregnant bellies are just the cutest ever. Even though they may feel as big as a whale, they have the most beautiful glow and the best curves holding the most precious of treasures. I’ve always thought so; when I was a little girl, I’d play pregnant by stuffing a pillow up my shirt and waddle around the house. Peculiar childhood games aside, it was my privilege to hang out with Jackie and Justin for an afternoon and capture their relationship and her super cute belly before she’s able to enjoy tying her own shoes again. Congrats you two!!

Wall Candy (aka Canvas Gallery Wraps)

Posted in Products

There’s something about the printed photograph that is so thrilling, especially in this day and age where most of our photographs either sit on our computer hard drives or, at best, make it to our Facebook pages or blogs (I must confess, I am a tad bit guilty of this myself- see my New Years Resolution list). Enter these beauties that will bring your images to life in 3D. They are printed on canvas using the highest quality archival ink that will remain colorfast for over 100 years, and then stretched over a deep gallery frame. They arrive ready to hang on the wall without a frame and are a great way to enjoy images from your portrait shoot or wedding. Sizes start at 16×20 for maximum impact. Contact me to see them in person; these photos hardly do them justice!
