Oh, the last day of August Break! I did it!
I took this for a mini project I'm working on and I like how it came out. I so rarely use a small enough aperture to make starbursts with my flare, and I think it fits just right. :O)
P.S. Everyone hates the tree behind Bella, but it's my favorite.
I've almost made it through August Break. Yippee!
Here's a few from a day in March, since I was catching up on my family editing. Every year I think I'm going to get an awesome, creative cherry blossom shot, but I never do. This was one of my favorites and it's just on my point and shoot. ...and Bella? She's diving into a pile of yarn. It's a time honored tradition in this house.
Tonight I had a wonderful evening out on the town with several other photographers ... cupcakes and great company! What a winning combination! This was our view as the sun set lower and lower over the Olympics.
A visit to the sound. Such a beautiful day, and well worth the drive. The clouds lifted and the Olymics came out to enjoy the sunlight. I wish we could have stayed til sunset.
Sommmmebody turned two last week!
Here's her sneak peek. She gets more and more beautiful every time I see her!
Evidence that the day was full and wonderful, and that yes, those bubbles were actually blue.
I can't get over the beauty of our foggy day at the ocean. There's so much peace in a colorless land.
An oldie but goodie. Lillia was three days old.
Oh my goodness, there is so much I could say about what an amazing time I had with this family last week. They invited me into their home on a very special day and fully embraced capturing the beautiful, everyday moments. I love this image so much!
I fell in love with this image the first moment I saw it.
(Even the grown up - and really, when do grown ups ever relax?)
Working on this charmer's session tonight! It's long overdue and bringing back the memories of this hot (hot!) July day at the park in Washington, D.C.
Even princesses have to take a moment to eat. And when they do, they feast on fresh picked blackberries, of course.
Sun setting on the right, moon rising on the left. Mountains, water, skylines and pink clouds filling our view. We crossed into Portland during the grand finale of an outstanding sunset display. In the morning I have a session with an energetic family of five. I can't wait!
There's something to be said for relaxing on a misty, colorless shore.
Whoops! I remembered to post just in the nick of time. How bout one from two years ago? Bella is just about to turn one in this picture.
A beautiful July evening in Boston:
If you didn't notice (Seattle residents may very well have not), Summer is here at last!
And in case you forgot,
Summer is the BEST time to get your family portraits done!
Bella joined her older cousins for an afternoon of play - we had an evening of princesses.
If there's one thing she loves, it's being stuck in tiny places. I'm sure I'll never understand her. Perhaps she'll be a world famous spelunker one day.
I was ambivalent about having another girl when I was pregnant with Lillia. I did, however, hope that Bella would someday have a sister - there's just something special about sisters. When Lillia was born and I learned she was a girl, I had an unexpected relief and excitement - an anticipation of moments like this.
Just one little moment from today, thanks to my husband who came home for lunch. This is how Bella and I like to spend Lia's nap time.
We could actually see the clouds blowing across our feet. In and out, mist and sun, and a relentless wind drawing ripples in the sand, breaking waves, and setting kites free.
A trip to the beach. Mist, wind, sand, and bright blue bubbles.
