Galen & Jeff are like eating a yummy perfectly sweet biscotti on a Sunday morning. They are delightfully charming together and they make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside just by being around them. These two have been together for years (I think it's maybe been 8 years together if my memory isn't failing me) so they are pushing a decade with one another, and they are still madly in love. I'm sure it's pretty safe to say their love withstands the great test of time.
One of my favorite things about their story is that Jeff proposed to Galen on top of a mountain in Switzerland! I mean talk about pulling out all the stops. That is just the type of guy Jeff is. I don't know too many girls who have a proposal quite like that.
These two came in from the east coast for their session in Seattle. We had a beautifully sunny morning and headed to Volunteer park in Capitol hill. Meeting them in person just felt like hanging out with two friends I have known for forever. We're so stoked for their wedding this summer, I know it is going to be a blast.
Happy Wednesday and enjoy some Galen & Jeff Goodness!

I love small and intimate ceremonies! Nothing is quite as special as a couple declaring their love for each other in front of their closest family members. They invited a grand total of 10 guests, I came in at number 11. It was such a warm + beautiful day, and by the end of it I felt like part of the family.
The ceremony was held overlooking Mt. Rainer at the Seattle Tennis Club, followed by some portraits at Volunteer Park, and then dinner at The Herbfarm. If you haven’t been to the Herbfarm, I would highly suggest checking it out if you have a special occasion coming up. They give a tour of their garden (which was spectacular!) and you get to taste the different flowers and herbs that will later be served in your 9 course dinner. I didn’t have dinner that night, but I did have some sort of herb infused water. I’m pretty sure it was the most delicious water I have ever tasted. (or maybe I was really thirsty, not sure which it was)
Laura + Kyle, thanks for making me your 11th guest. ♥

A couple weeks ago I decided to take Zachary over to Volunteer Park for his 1 year photo shoot. I wanted to shoot in a different area of the park – over by the community center. It is no secret that I LOVE this park! It is right near our home office and has a zillion different places to shoot. I could do ten sessions here and each one would be different depending on where we picked as our backdrop. I just love this place! It’s one of the reasons why I chose it as the location for my Valentines Mini Sessions…. .which… by the way… I’m going to be extending to the rest of February! That’s right. Do you want a mini session done, but next weekend doesn’t work for you? Let me know. We can shoot on a different day and you can receive the special as long as it’s before February 28th. Just see the flyer below the photos for more info.
I shot Zachary at around 3:30pm when the sun was just starting to sink in the sky – one of my favorite times of day. My friend Lori helped me out on this shoot. She makes a great baby-wrangler. :) Toddlers move fast, so we just shot for about 25 minutes – a quick mini session!! Anyway, here are some of my favorites.
and don’t forget about the Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions now that they’ve been expanded to include the rest of January and February! Many weekends are already booked up so please call me if you are interested. My number is 954.247.1121.
