ALOHA BOUND!

I sure had fun with these two luv birds! Martin and Christy are so full of energy and had me laughing behind the camera many times on there Engagement Session. We were lucky to have good weather, but I will say it was super duper cold out! They both are really into their bikes so Martin rode it all the way to Alki while Christy brought the cute dog. You know me I can never say no to adding a dog into the photoshoot! 🙂

Here’s a little about the couple:

Martin and Christy met through their mutual love of motorcycles.  Martin had completed a 9600 mile motorcycle race and Christy had just gotten back from a 1400 mile ride down to CA.  They love going for rides together, watching movies, camping, and just spending quality time together.  They’re in the process of buying a house and are very excited about that.  They are getting married in Maui this summer and  spending there honeymoon in Kauai.  Once they get back to the mainland they will be hopping on their bike for a ride down the Oregon coast.

Puppy LOVE!!!

I recently photographed portraits for Suzanne and this time I got to meet more of the family, her husband Christopher and their lovely puppy Heike. We walked around the waterfront in the freezing cold. The decorations really put us into a festive mood. We had great fun!!

Suzy and Christopher have been together for 5 years, married for 2.  They were very fortunate to spend part of that time living and working in Prague, but relocated back to Seattle in 2009.  Returning home they selected an urban life style (since the kids are grown) and moved to north Capital Hill in Seattle.

Heike, their darling and smart puppy came to them through the wonderful volunteer organization, Northwest German Shepherd Rescue.  Heike’s first six months of life were harsh.  She had been found wandering in Eastern Washington, a hub for puppy mills.   Through the dedication of volunteers, she spent the next six months in various shelters and foster homes.  In March, the NGSR temporarily took her in and that’s where they found her (or she found us).  She brings joy to their lives and didn’t want to leave their sides the whole photoshoot.

FAMILY FUN!

What a FUN family… I have photographed two of the members of this family in the past, the girls that is. This time we added the guys to include the entire family!

We walked all around the Bellevue Park. Lots of people walking around, everyone enjoying the holiday season. The ice skating rink was packed right next to us. “Snowflake Lane” is later in the evening…which if you haven’t seen its a must. It’s so cute! All, the hustle and bustle made it so much fun.

Here is a little bit about the family...

Mark & Nanette have been married 24 years (25th anniversary in June woohoo!). They like to play golf, hike, and run together (OK, they really don’t really like running all that much, but it’s better when they are together!). Rachel is 18 and is attending Bellevue College where she plays on the basketball team. She also plays golf and was on the basketball team in High School at Bothell. Chris is 20 and in his 3rd year at UW Bothell where he is taking computer science and is planning to be a software engineer. He is an avid reader and game enthusiast.
