Frank, Sheryl and Family | Bellingham Family Photographer

Last weekend I had my biggest non-wedding session ever—25 adults, children and babies hung out with me at Whatcom Falls Park.  We had a great time running around, playing on the play ground and checking out the waterfalls.  All of the cousins had a blast playing together and getting their pictures taken.

 

Thanks so much to Frank and Sheryl for letting me document your beautiful family and to Sara for setting it up and getting in touch with me.  The rest of the pictures will be online within a week.

I love this sweet little girl’s golden wavy hair!

Sara with her beautiful girls!

Isn’t she the sweetest thing—she always looked so alert and happy!

Congrats on your engagement you two!

This precious little girl was rockin’ some hand on the hip sassiness!

            This little fellow’s hair makes me smile—SO cute!

Dad+baby=adorable!

This is what your hair looks like when you’ve reached the bottom of the slide—LOVE this!

Sheryl and Frank—so pretty!

       

Thanks again to everyone!!

The Buiter Family | Lynden Family Photographer

Last week I had so much fun photographing this family!  I was so excited when my friend and neighbor inquired about setting up a family session for her parents and immediate family—they are all sweet I knew it would be a great time!  The weather cooperated and we enjoyed exploring this adorable farm during their session.

Thanks so much for a great session—you all were fabulous and up for anything which makes it so fun!  I appreciated your willingness to sit in the grass amongst the cow manure (not on the cow manure!) and for nearly flipping over the hay wagon!  The rest of the session images should be up in a few days!

We were bummed that the mountain wasn’t out due to the clouds – Mt. Baker should have been right in the center of this photo, but I like the moody clouds and hills.

Aren’t they cute? 

I love this picture of the boys!

My fantastic neighbors—they are so awesome!

We were playing off the fact that they have a “herd” of children.  Do you get it?

Moments after a near disaster with the hay wagon!  They look pretty happy for just evacuating the wagon!  Please note—if you take pictures of a large group of people on a hay wagon, ask them to stand in the middle of it—not on the edge!

These next two are my favorites!  I love the old barn and the sunflowers!

Such pretty sisters!  It is such a blessing to have not only a sister but a best friend in that person to!  Side note: when I grow up I want to have hair just like them—isn’t it gorgeous!?

Jackson – 9 Months | Lynden Baby Photographer

This Saturday despite the rainy and windy early morning I had a fantastic time playing in the park with the cutest, brown eyed baby I know!  It was so fun to have another session with little Jackson who isn’t so little anymore!  I just love his little personality and curiosity!

Thanks so much to Tawni, Sean and Jackson for a wonderful morning!  I feel so blessed to document your beautiful baby and the love you have for him.

I LOVE the above shot and this one below—Sean and Tawni adore their son and think these two images captured that!

I bet it is impossible not to fall madly in love with these big brown eyes and sweet baby lips!

Perfect baby in the beautiful woods…what more could you ask for?

       

All of the session images will be up within a week.  Thanks again!

Rob & Sarah – Wedding | Ferndale Wedding Photographer

 

EDIT TO ADD:  All of Sarah and Rob’s wedding images are online here or click on the Online Ordering links above!  Enjoy!!

What a beautiful fall day we had on Saturday for Rob and Sarah’s wedding!  I was so thrilled to be photographing this wedding not only because it was beautiful and the couple is gorgeous, but because these are friends of mine.  I couldn’t be happier that Rob and Sarah have found each other.  When the two are around each other their eyes sparkle and their laughter and smile are infectious.  You two are perfect fit and I was so blessed to be able to document your love this weekend.  Thanks for letting me be part of your big day! 

 

I really struggled narrowing my down my favorites—I almost put all of their wedding pictures on the blog but I thought you might be a little overwhelmed!  So enjoy these images—the rest will be online within a couple weeks.

Sarah has the best wedding “shoes” ever—perfectly suited to her and comfortable!

This is why couples make a great decision when they decide to do a “first look” before the ceremony—this expression is priceless!  Sarah and Rob got to enjoy each other, relax and have fun before the ceremony during the pictures instead of rushing through pictures to get to the reception.

Ohhhhh, pretttty!

Happy together…check, make each other laugh…check, going to live happily-ever after…check and mark!

Check out those boots—smokin’ hot!

Please make a giant print of this!  How beautiful are these two?

A special moment between Sarah and her son.

I’m slightly biased because my niece was the flower girl—but she was definitely the cutest flower girl ever!  Here she is copying the bride—because if Auntie Sarah needs to hold up her dress, so does she!

I LOVE these flowers and custom made sheppard's hooks to hold them on along the aisle.  So beautiful!

Sarah’s bouquet was stunning and it looked so pretty right here on Sarah’s barrel racing saddle.

My favorite ceremony image—how can you beat such a personal touch at your ceremony—I love it when couples make their weddings really reflect who they are.

The newly weds!

Just a few seconds after the shot above—Rob just swept her off her feet!

I make the best use of friend and family paparazzi—thanks for helping me Drew!

I think Sarah only got to stand on the ground about 50% of the day—love this first dance moment!

The reception was full of dancing, karaoke, and fantastic dance moments.  According to this sweet thing’s mom this little girl learned her dance moves from her dad and boy could she dance…and pose!  So cute!

Thanks again to Rob, Sarah and both of your families!  You truly made me feel like family and I love you for it!
