Pioneer Square

We hit the streets of Seattle for this extended family session a few weeks ago. I can't say enough about these people. Funny, sweet, kind. Thi (pictured below) reminds me of my sister from another mister. She lives out of state and wanted to get the family together for photos as she didn't know when everyone would be together like this again.

2010 Faves | A New Year

As I sit here staring into 2011, looking back on my first year of business, two words come to mind: wow and thanks. wow, this photography thing wasn't so easy at first. wow, I kinda suck at the technical stuff but maybe my "creative side" will save me. wow, I really did it. It didn't matter how much money I would make or how busy I'd be, I did something outside of my mommy duties that made me feel useful again, the way I felt when I first graduated from college. A purpose whaa? And a deep thanks... to the peeps, family, God, and clients who had a semblance of faith when I wasn't so sure.

So here are just a few of my personal faves that I didn't get around to posting. Some aren't necessarily ones that would make it onto the mantel or Grandma's wall. They're the ones that make me grin a little; sigh inside. They evoke something in me that makes what I do all the more challenging and keeps me searching. You know what they say about a picture. It's true.

Cheers to you and yours in the new year. I hope it is everything you want it to be (and a smidge more).
