Lisa and Brody

Cool couple + cool park = cool pictures.
And Lisa and Brody are really stinkin cool. They're getting married in a little over a month and my camera mourns the fact that I will be in Italy and not in Baltimore to watch them get married (I think I'll get over it because, well, I'll be in Italy). We did the shoot in Patterson Park, right around the spot where they got engaged. Thanks to Brody we laughed our way through the whole thing. Beautiful, hilarious, thoughtful, happy...they are all of these things. Thanks for letting me capture you two in this unique and exciting time in your lives!

Sweet Little Ones

Just a little peek into what my summer was like. A lot of my time was spent learning from those sweet little souls. Lessons like patience, communication, tantrum management, etc. They were worthwhile lessons to be taught and to learn. And as the icing on the cake, we had a lot of fun! Most of our time was spent at parks, coffeeshops, wading pools, libraries, and watching Signing Time. Enjoy their life and energy in the photos!

Bun in the Oven

I'm digressing a bit in this post. The absolutely wonderful thing about my sister being two weeks overdue was that we kept shooting really fun maternity photos. So even though the last post had photos of the baby, I'm going back to when that little guy was still in utero. Just because I think my sis is fantastically gorgeous.

Family Happenings

It has been a full summer for my family. I have three older siblings that all magically ended up living in Seattle, to my parent's dismay. So where did I go this summer? Seattle, for two months. I got to live with my sister, her husband, and their little boy. Luckily my brother and his wife live a few blocks away and my oldest sister, her husband, and their niños are also a short walk away. So it's not too fun for me to live on the opposite coast but it's always a great time when I visit. It was an awesome summer to live in the city. Unfortunately my oldest sister and her family had to spend a month in Baltimore due to health concerns, but they all made it back for the birth of grandchild #4, Caleb James! What a way to begin a life. The birth was at home around 1:45am; soft lighting, Sigur Ros playing, and a very calm and peaceful birthing team. It was my first time experiencing a birth and I cannot find the words to adequately describe what the experience was like. So here are a few photos of my last few days in Seattle, with the family enjoying member #13.
