It was a perfect, cloudy Pacific Northwest day down at Point Defiance Park with these two (oh and Nene🐾).
​Congrats to Nikki and Ryan!

I hadn't had the privilege of witnessing a live birth until baby Sawyer's grand entrance. 
Momma handled it like a frikkin' BOSS; one second she's groaning, pushing...the next there is this tiny little bluish red human being, breathing its very first breaths outside of the placenta... Speaking of placenta's, know that there are a few beautifully graphic images below.
Peace and love to you!

I'm absolutely grateful to have been able to capture this experience. 
Congrats Katie & fam

These two really did it right.  They gathered a small group of their closest friends and family to a cabin in the woodlands of Oregon to celebrate their love.  They kept their cool. They smiled and laughed. Most importantly, the kept their day about them. 

When I first went through these photo's, I KID YOU NOT, I couldn't stop smiling. Like, ear to f*&$#ing ear.  That's how happy looking through these photo's made me.  Hope they bring a lil' smile to your face too! 

I looooved working with this beautiful family!
This shoot left me with a big smile on a warm heart on my drive home...How could it not have with these cute lil' munchkin faces?!

Throwing leaves and capturing smiles and laughs and kisses...suuuuuch a rough gig ;)

Baby Ethan is turning one and it was about damn time I got to shoot this beautiful family all together!  

She is so tiny and so sassy and so damn precious!
So much personality and heart in this little one..Happy Birthday Stella! 

This little man is sooooo tiny!
I got to spend the day with this newly-formed family recently and -I'll be honest-it's kinda' crazy watching your friends turn into parents. By crazy, I really mean that it's beautiful, and scary, and amazing and kind of unbelievable. Liz and I have been friends since we were 11 years old. We've cried and fought and laughed and twerked our way through more than 2 decades of friendship...and to now see this tiny little human before me, this precious little being that she helped create and bring into this world...I don't know that there's a word that can describe the feeling. I'll just say that I am very excited to watch you grow up little man!
