This past week I turned another year older. I really wanted some portraits of our family to capture this unbelievably fun yet crazy time in our lives. With two outlandishly cute boys and a smoking hot wife, life is good.

Boone was in Seattle for the weekend and Ashley arranged for a little birthday gift to me of some time in front of the camera with Boone. We hit up a park in Capital Hill and Boone rocked some sweet images that really capture our family. There’s a lot of love, laughing, energy and a bit of boogers as well. Thank you Ashley for the perfect gift and thank you Boone for your time and your eye! I’m thinking a fat canvas wrap will do the trick… especially when we get a new place in Ballard (but that’s another story for another time).

Really, what's cuter than an 11 month old with a runny nose in a tight-fitting Burberry sweater!?

I’m notorious for posting a teaser and then not posting more images, but not this time. That said, here is a long post with more images from my shoot with Lucy, Chris and Ty. Ashley and I enjoyed our road trip down to the Salem, Oregon area. Our boys went a little crazy with 8 hours in the car over the weekend but it was worth it to spend some time these guys, watch Baron and Ty play, and hang at the park with boone + jacqi and friends (when it was sunny!). Looking forward to many more road trips this summer.

Last weekend I was up in Seattle shooting Sara & Mark’s Engaged Session.  We met up Saturday morning at Cafe Fiore and grabbed some frames before we totally got rained out.  We ended up shooting a bit more the next day to take advantage of better weather.   After our shoot Sara & Mark invited me to grab some breakfast with them at Vera’s in Ballard and we chatted about their passions in literature and education.  Such a cool couple - we’re stoked for their wedding!
