Puddles and Petals

How can you go wrong with froggy boots and enormous size mud puddles?

We don't think you can!

Allie and Brayden invited me to join their trip to the Tulip festival last month

and I taught Brayden how to get the most splash for the buck (sorry mom...)

Sister Allie was not a fan of the splashing but she did love the pretty petals... so 

the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has a little something for everyone!

If you've never been- seriously- make a plan to go next year-

it's a big fun and lots of color in a small town.  

You should see it at least once in your life.... and some of us love it so much we go every year!

Enjoy the adorable....

Time Flies...

Sisters Grace and Gillian met up with me in the rain at the Evergreen Arboretum a couple of weeks ago.

We didn't manage any sun- but it did finally stop raining for just long enough that we could get out from under the cover of the gazebo! 

I can't believe how fast the time is flying by since the last time I shot them together....

{back in June of 2011}

It's a good reminder to make the time to have custom portraits commissioned of your family because at this age- three years is a lifetime of growth.....

Auntie Mo

Auntie Mo was in town recently and she wanted photos with her sister Trish and kids-

So, we stormed old downtown Everett  and  tore it up!

Thanks for going along with my crazy ladies!

K&A at UW

I met up with Kim and Adam early on a sunshine-y morning on the Quad @ the UW to take in all the gorgeous cherry blossoms and great architectural details that make this campus so beautiful.  

These two are finishing up at the U and getting hitched this summer...

Can't wait for their big day!!!
