Happy birthday Jake- I love you

Today is my husbands birthday. Wow, where do I even start. I love my husband so much. I am so so so so so lucky to be married to him. He is not only the most handsome man in the world to me but he is a wonderful father, husband and extremely brave and courageous. He is strong in so many ways. I love spending time with him.  He has so many talents: he can fix anything, can wake board, snowboard, ski, skateboard, mountain bike,  gives great haircuts, can cook amazing hash browns, grilled tuna, roman and make anything with rice, can practically memorize entire movies after watching them, expert picture hanger, an amazing mechanic, amazing carpenter, built our computer, built Lena a solid wood toddler bed, is loved by his children more that I can explain. These are just some of his talents. I am so proud of my husband and love him more than words can explain! Happy Birthday.

Family pictures

Today we had our family pictures taken by a good friend/professional photographer. Jessica Feely did so well with our session. Being behind the lens is so different than the other way around. I am a little camera shy and my husband… well he believes family pictures are a form of torture. (I’m sure many other husbands out their feel the same way) Jessica did a really good job at going with the flow and carefully giving us direction during the session. As a photographer it is sometimes hard to feel what your subjects are going through and helping them work through it. Jessica did a wonderful job at that. Thanks a million. I posted the sneak peak that is on her blog below.

Yousef and Char

I was very lucky to meet such a wonderful couple and capture their special day. I could tell everyone was just ecstatic to be their. Many family and friends flew in from all over the world to be at Yousef and Char’s wedding. The wedding ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Hyatt hotel in Bellevue. The hotel did an amazing job at catering the wedding. The food and service were superb. Thanks to everyone who made the day so wonderful and for letting me share it with you all.

A clear day in Seattle?

The last three days have been clear. I even saw some blue sky. I had to take advantage of it. So here are some of Lena for you to enjoy.

Johanna and Joey

I feel like I always start my posts with an excuse to why it’s been so long since I’ve posted. So my excuse this time is that I have spent the past few weeks becoming a “color” expert. I have taken some serious steps in my business and spent some serious money to insure that I am color correcting my images in the most professional way possible. I bought a new computer and one of these little nifty things I also splurged and upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS4. I hope to be able to catch up with all the rest of my photo editing and other parts of my business that I have been slacking on soon. Although I have had a bit of a delay it is all worth it to produce the highest possible quality photographs. Aside from the delay I am so excited to post Joey and Johanna’s wedding pictures. This wedding was a BLAST. It was a cold day and I was so proud of the whole family and especially the bride and groom for enduring the cold to get portraits. The wedding was at Salty’s in Alki beach and I can’t say enough about how much I loved this venue. 321 foto booth also did a wonderful job at the wedding and I even popped into the photo booth with an “x bride” of mine and got my picture taken. Oh and before I forget a special thanks to my second shooter Stephanie, who did a great job.

Johanna was a gorgeous bride
