Eastside Newborn Photographer | Paisley Marie
I have another little one to share with you today. This is Paisley Marie at 24 hours after birth, accompanied by her adoring family at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. I think it’s pretty clear that everyone thinks she’s sweeter than peach pie, and I agree! We met Paisley’s mommy and daddy, Daniella and Chris through our church and Chris is one of the founding members of Band of Brothers Northwest (BOBNW), a non-profit organization that helps meet immediate needs for

New Years Day – Fun with Lights | Seattle Portrait Photographer
Yesterday I invited my delightful friend Sofia over to have a little fun with the light kit we rented over the weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve done a totally frivolous, just-for-fun (but purposeful) photo shoot. Sofia is one of my dearest friends, and has been assisting me at weddings this past year, and she’s totally drop-dead gorgeous, so it only made sense to invite her over to play with the rented lights with me before they needed to
