pam + grant + jetson

I met Pam a few years ago when she and Grant were looking for a nanny for Jetson. I met with her at a coffee shop and within about 10 minutes I was riding in her Jeep on the way back to her house to meet Grant. From the time Jetson was 8 months old to about 2 1/2 we spent most of our days together playing, laughing, walking to the coffee shop, and growing. I was working on my photography business, Pam was building her marketing company, and we spent hours hashing out millions of details and trying to help each other live our dreams. I adore this family so much and am so, so lucky to have all three of them in my life.

When I went back to Minnesota last month we spent the day together and I think I laughed the ENTIRE time. We started our day at a little fair in Minnetonka. Jets saw all the kids rolling down the hill and was so excited to try it out:

Seriously. This smile just rocks my whole world.

He’s so big!


Dance it out!

Ok. So. Our PLAN was to go back to their (brand new!) house and then head out to do a family session. Jetson, however, had no plans involving sitting still, standing still, running in a direction you pointed out, or paying attention.

Grant tried to captivate him by borrowing tips from Honey-I-Shrunk-The-Kids:

That worked until Jets announced that he had to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW. I’ll let you guess how that one turned out:

I laughed the entire time I was editing these photos. Ok, so maybe it didn’t go exactly as planned, but still… so great. See you guys in September when we’ll try to do it up right!

ian, lisa, + sierra . family portrait photography

I was going to post these on Monday, but my brother is so excited about them that I couldn’t hold out. It’s been so fun for me to be able to document Ian, Lisa, and Sierra as they grow together. We started with Lisa’s maternity photos, then Sierra as a newborn, 4 months old, and now a little over a year!

As I was going through these today I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement that I’m able to provide these photos for my family. We all grew up around photography, and there’s nothing better than photographing people that love and appreciate this artform as much as I do. Add that these are people that I love and appreciate dearly and it’s just a dream scenario.

I lovelovelove you guys and can’t wait to see you in September!

ryen + jayna . tacoma family portraits

Right after their mini session Sunshine called me to book another photo session with Ryen and Jayna as a surprise to Jaime for Father’s Day. We all ran around Point Defiance cracking up laughing, as usual, and I think Sunshine was just stoked to get photos of Ryen without her two front teeth!

These guys are hosting a garage sale this weekend to benefit the Hemispherectomy Foundation. Stop by, purchase awesome items, and donate to a great foundation! Check out Sunshine’s blog for the deets!

Love you guys!
