It's hard to believe how much time has gone by since I moved to Seattle.  Jesse and Juliana have been wonderful friends to have and I can't imagine living in this city without knowing them.  Their kids continue to amaze me with how smart and adorable they are, and I love that I will likely never be known as anything other than "Auntie Trish".  Grammy (aka Priscilla) was visiting from Wyoming and Wesley was turning the big ONE, so it was a perfect time for a photo session!

This kid and his dimples!  He has such an infectious smile and it makes my heart melt.  It has been awesome getting to watch Andrew grow and be part of his life.  We had some beautiful fall colors and gorgeous light for his one year photos!

I took photos of Thatcher when he was a newborn and it's always such a wonderful thing when I get to see my newborns again a year later.  I love getting to see how they've changed and how they've all only gotten cuter.  Thatcher is such a perfect mix of his parents.  If you ignore the crazy wind we got to deal with, it was a gorgeous setting.  Rattlesnake Lake was on my list of places to do photos for quite a while, and it was just as pretty as I hoped it would be. 

I met the goofy and adorable Keegan at a photo shoot I did with Fort Boards (www.fortboards.com, check them out!) and I'm so happy that turned into getting to take photos for him and his parents.  If you pay attention, you'll notice throughout the session, Keegan is carrying around a bunch of leaves, sticks and pine cones.  It took a lot of convincing at times that he should put them down temporarily, and his sharp little mind never failed to remember he needed to grab them every time we moved on to a new spot.  He's such a funny and awesome kid!

What a darling family! Immediately upon meeting Jenn that day, I fell in love with her outfit, which totally makes sense because we own the same top.  Keeping it classy by giving Wyatt a blue bow tie was perfect.  It was a pleasure getting to work with Bryan, Jenn & Wyatt and I absolutely hope to see them again!

This session happened back in September, and looking back through these photos make me so happy.  Paige is an absolute doll and anytime a kid has pigtails, I fall in love.  This was my second time taking photos of Paige and we're pretty much best friends now.  After this session, I got an email from her mom saying that the rest of the day Paige kept asking "Where Trish go?".  How cute is that?  She has such a cute little personality and I can't wait to see her and her parents again!

I got to meet these blonde babes and their parents right before they moved to Idaho, and I'm very glad I did!  The summer light treated us incredibly well this day and Discovery Park came through once again.  I never get sick of taking photos there.  I'm madly in love with Charlotte's pretty little white dress and Emmette's hair that can't help but stick straight up.  I hope you guys are enjoying life in your new home!

Billie was another one of my newborns and this was my THIRD time taking photos of her!  She was really the one that made me fall in love with doing newborn sessions.  She was the sleepiest newborn ever and made my job so easy.  She continues to be fantastic and is just as pretty as she was the first time I met her!  We took a trip to the zoo and the rose garden, and I think her parents and I had more fun then she did-- it was really all just a front so we could ride the carousel and eat cotton candy! 

This was my second time photographing this family this year and I'm so glad they returned for more photos!  Little Logan was one of my newborns and it was so fun seeing him again a few months later.  His big sister, Sairyn, is just a whole bunch of adorable.  She insisted on having a picnic. Luckily, she was an easy one to please and her definition of a picnic was just laying a blanket on the ground.   I had such a good time spending a sunny, summer morning with them!

Oh, Andrew, you are these sweetest kid.  Every time I see Andrew, or should I say Andrew sees me, he gets the biggest grin on his face, and it melts my heart over and over again.  He's going to be such a heart breaker when he gets older smiling and flirting with all of the girls like that. Andrew was one of my newborns and it's so fun to see him change and grow into a little man.  His parents, two people I'm very happy to call friends, are amazing, beautiful individuals inside and out.  THANK YOU Becky & Adam for continuing to put your faith in me and letting me take photos of such an adorable kid!

I'm so excited to share these photos for so many reasons! 1. Just look at that handsome little man!  Phineas is going to be breaking hearts when he gets older, especially if he keeps up with that style.  2.  Discovery Park.  I think every photographer in Seattle is enormously grateful we have such a beautiful setting smack dab in the middle of our city.  3.  Gorgeous morning light.  4.  So much love and plenty of it to go around for the next little one they'll be welcoming in October!  Ellen is incredibly talented with her knitting skills and I was blown away by the socks she made for the birth announcement photos!  
Thank you guys so much for getting up in the morning to meet me and catch that golden light!

This incredible family wanted something "Seattle-ish" and I think we definitely accomplished that!  The waterfront downtown might be my new favorite place for photos!  The cloudy evening only brought out the Seattle aspect more and I love how the overall look of the shoot turned out.  And doesn't Avery have the cutest smile?  She was such a doll and she is going to make an amazing big sister come October!  Congrats again you guys!
