Halloween - 2009 & Zoe my beautiful little Tinkerbell

Well I know I know . .we are a little past our normal Halloween posting, but it's been quite the busy year and fall.  So without further adieu I would love to share with you our awesome yearly Halloween posting.  As you can see, Bryan had a lot more couples this year do scary poses so he could turn them into cool zombies, vampires and victims.  As you can see this is Bryan's fun project and aren't they just too cool?  We had to of course add our favorites from last year as well.  So I thank everyone that posed for them and I hope they don't scare anyone too much!

Below that are some photos of Bryan, Zoe and I in our glow in the dark pajamas . .we thought it would be fun to get matching ones.  And of course then none other than our beautiful Zoe in her adorable Tinkerbell outfit.  Bryan had a wedding that night . .and so I just captured some fast cute ones of her trick or treating for the first time.  She can't say it yet, but she took pride in carrying her basket no matter how heavy it got . . ha!  Finally then are our favorites from my brother Matthew and his wife Kathy's annual Halloween Party.  As you can see, this year I was a fortune teller and Bryan was the wendy guy with the red hair, hence the burger in all the photos . . hey he wants a big juicy burger . ha.  We did miss the awesome Brian Waltz of Good Times DJ who got married the week before and was honeymooning in Greece at the time.  He is in a one of the scary photos below with his wife Hayley who is the Vampire in the cape.  And it was too funny that someone came as Bryan's step brother Casey Keller.  It was in fact his ex-girlfriend Angel and her husband who dressed up as Casey Keller.  Enjoy!

Zoe - My Pumpkin Patch Princess

Well on a beautiful sunny fall day, my mom, Bryan, Zoe and I went to our local Cider Mill and Pumpkin Patch.  I tell you . . the end of September is when you go . .not towards the end of October.  We just went again and everything was dead, it was a mud pit out there and well not nearly as much fun.  As you can see Zoe is leaps and bounds different than she was last year.  She can walk and well she wants to explore and run around as you can see.  I love her pumpkin beret that I got her this year along with her adorable bunny shirt and skirt.  She was too funny trying to pick up every pumpkin no matter how big or small and making an effort noise when she couldn't pick it up.  I know we've been bad about sharing personal photos . .but we still have so many wedding and engagement photos to blog that more will have to wait until later in the year . .maybe around Zoe's second birthday which is less than a month away or towards Christmas!  For now enjoy and hope you are surviving the dreary fall weather.

Justin & Nicole's Engagement Session

Well on a lovely and warm summer day Bryan photographed Nicole & Justin’s engagement session.  As you can see they had a lot of fun shooting and picked up a stray little dog while they sat on an abandoned chair for some cute pictures. However one of my absolute favorites is the one of them on the building on the staircase . .it is simply stunning!  I love the photo of Justin with the flowers behind his back with Nicole out of focus and yes once again they picked up another stray puppy . .ha. 

It was their idea to do a second part of the shoot with a theme.  So they had Justin’s old car “broken down” by the side of the road and dressed in 50’s style clothes.  I think the photo of Nicole by herself is gorgeous and I love the distance shot of Justin trying to work on the car as well as them on top of the car embracing – beautiful!  Enjoy and we will be blogging shortly some adorable Zoe pumpkin patch photos and many more weddings, engagements, etc!

Kelsey & Joe's Wedding

Well the dreary fall weather is certainly here isn't it!  We have some simply adorable photos of Zoe in the pumpkin patch to share with you later this week, but for now . .let's enjoy the awesome wedding photos of Kelsey & Joe on a beautiful warm and summer day.   As you can see we started out the day with Kelsey at her parent's home and didn't we get quite the cool garage dress shot and an adorable photo of Kelsey with her familly dog.  Then it was onto EMP/Seattle Center for a first look between Joe and Kelsey.  I love all the shots of the first look and the group shots of them with their wedding party - isn't the shot against the curved metal wall gorgeous as well as teh shots inside EMP?

They had their ceremony and reception at the lovely Shilshole Bay Beach Club.  I love the colors she chose for her bridsmaide dresses of the blue as they went so perfectly with the outdoor beach backdrop.  It was then onto the reception where Kelsey's dad did such a beautiful and emotional toast . .as you can see it has more than Kelsey in tears!  We then stepped outside near Shilshole to get some awesome and gorgeous sunset portraits.  Before the very end of the night we went out one more time with Kelsey & Joe.  Enjoy!

Jeff & Sarah's Post Shoot

Well on a beautiful summery day, we set out to shoot Jeff & Sarah's post shoot.  We had intended to shoot it in May, but while on their honeymoon . . Jeff broke his foot . .which was especially no fun as they were in turkey and he got what he called a "tiny tim" crutch.  It actually worked out perfect as they wanted something different and we thought . .hey why not shoot in Olympia and also shoot with our annual fair.  We started off in late afternoon walking around to a bunch of spots and aren't the shots at the artesian water well with the crazy guy with the orange street cone just too funny?  I love both the funky and very pretty alley shots we got.  And isn't the photo of Sarah and Jeff in the store window just amazing? Sarah is a perfect mannequin and I love that shot.  It was then onto  the fair for some fun on the merry go round (yes we meant to show it to you in black and white and in color for variety) . . they borrowed a big stuffed banana for some fun poses, ate cotton candy and had way too much fun in the funhouse itself.  I think my favorite shots of the night simply has to be the one of them kissing with Jeff with his sunglasses on with the ferris wheel behind them . .it's just so pretty.  And a thank you to Jeff who took the cool picture of them on the ride, Bryan quickly guessed the perfect setting and Jeff got a great photo of them kissing.

Lastly I had to say it was funny to walk around a fair with a couple . . they had so many people ask them if they had been married that day at the fair and rather than explain over and over again, they just said yes . . we just love the fair and had to be married today . too funny!
