Inspired - Elli

Summer has been pretty booked so far with weddings and family sessions. And, while I'm totally loving that, it's sometimes nice to head out and do a shoot that's just for me. No expectations. No pressure.

My sister-in-law volunteered to be the subject for a creative portrait session this morning.

I wanted something a bit more dramatic and moody than my usual style. I'm pleased with the results.

Wedding Portraits - Heidi and Danny

These two... are so completely in love.

I could ramble on and on (like I did in the previous post) but I think I'll just stop... and let you see for yourself.

If you haven't already experienced the story of their wedding day, make sure to take a look here.

Thanks to Cassie Kean of CLK Photography for covering this wedding with me.

Wedding Story - Heidi and Danny

I'm not sure if I'll be able to describe well enough what transpired on this day. It was more than a ceremony, more than the cutting of a cake, more than a first dance as husband and wife.

Several times during the day, as I observed Heidi and Danny looking at each other or slowly dancing, I felt like I was intruding on a very personal moment. But, I might as well not have even been there - they were so wrapped up in each other.

When you see the look on Heidi's face as she waited to walk down the aisle with her father, the tears in Danny's eyes when he saw his bride for the first time, the goofy grins of Heidi and her sister and the exuberant bouquet and garter toss, I hope that you get a glimpse of what it felt like to be a guest there.

Here are some highlights from their wedding day story. Check back soon for their sweet and emotional portraits.

Venue: The Edgewater House in Olalla, Washington.

Wed - Gabby and Noah

You've met Gabby and Noah before. Now, I'm happy to share the story of their wedding day, complete with romantic round string lights and youthful grins.

Venue: Train Station in Chehalis, WA

Special thanks to Mariah of Mariah Lindsay Photography for her much appreciated support and artistic perspective.

Sneak Peek - Kindell (6 Months Old)

Sweet little Kindell made her parents and I work hard to get her to smile! But, all that effort was worth it. I'll be blogging the rest of her session soon. In the meantime, here's a peek.
