I still don’t know what kind of a crazy time warp we all stepped into in 2020, but I am still a bit bewildered, trying to step out on the other side. The Lynch family was one of the last photo sessions I photographed before we all went into lockdown in March, 2020, and now…

What an incredibly sweet and stunning session!

What a special treat to meet one-month-old Baby G and his very sweet big sister, M the goldendoodle! Here are a few of my favorites from their at-home session.

It’s wild to think that two whole years have passed since I last photographed Jennifer and Gary for their engagement session up in Seattle. And yet, given the circumstances of the past two years, it’s hardly surprising. These two have been waiting patiently, closely monitoring public health guidelines, and they have had to reschedule twice….
