Levi & Lindsey – Family Session | Lynden Family Photography

EDIT TO ADD:  All of Levi & Lindsey’s images are now online here, or click on the Online Ordering links above.  Enjoy!

 

Nothing beats a beautiful sunshiny day, fresh cut grass, a gorgeous blonde and an inked up Navy guy.  Seriously—I highly doubt my Saturday morning could have been any better.  I was so excited when Lindsey contacted me about doing a two year anniversary session with her husband.  Lindsey and I went to school together and it had been ages (maybe five years?) since we’ve hung out and caught up on each other’s lives so I had been looking forward to their session for weeks.

Thanks so much Levi and Lindsey for trekking through muddy fields, battling nettles, sliding down creek banks and climbing over fences—it made for some awesome pictures!  The electric shock to my leg from the hot wire fence was definitely worth it to capture these images for you!  And I wasn’t joking around when I said I wanted to photograph your future children in those tattooed arms Levi—I’ll be waiting for a phone call!  Thanks also for your service to our country Levi—if it wasn’t for the brave men and women like you our country wouldn’t be where it is today.

I’ve decided to add an element of danger into each couple’s session that I do to keep everyone on their toes.  I thought about making them stand on chairs in the middle of the creek, but since they drove up from Marysville for the session it might have made for cold, wet trip home if they fell in.  So we opted for laying on the road on a bridge instead…and I’m so glad we did!

Hot!

I  love this shot below—look how Lindsey’s face is all lit up!  I think is safe to say that Lindsey not only loves her husband but is proud of him as well.

Can you find Lindsey’s favorite tattoo?

Doesn’t everybody hang out in corn fields?  I really wanted to play in the corn with these two and this was the last corn field still standing in the area.  I love the texture and color it adds!

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.

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?

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!?
