I make a point of not blogging too many pictures of my son, Henry, but today I can’t resist. He and I decided to spend the last few hours of this afternoon at Grasslawn Park in Redmond. Grasslawn is my very favorite park, so we’re lucky to not live too far from it.
These pictures are precious to me for a few reasons. First of all, I can’t believe my little bugger is knocking on two’s door! In a little over a month he will officially be in his third year of life, and that’s so exciting. I’ve never been one to mourn my baby growing up. I love that he’s becoming an interactive little person who chats with me and has his own strong opinions (for better or worse). I also love that in these photos I can see the wheels turning in that brilliant little mind of his. (There were tons of big kids running around and he was in awe. 
)
The other thing these photos represent to me is just how blessed I am. I have a career that allows me to spend the better part of every day with my kid, and that’s just awesome. Now I’m no Polyanna who’s going to try to convince you that I love being at home all the time, but today was a good day and I was really grateful to have my work done and to be able to do an impromptu photo session at the park. I wouldn’t trade my career, or the freedom it affords me, for anything.
Enjoy these photos of my little Henry (or Eddy, the name he calls himself).

I’ve been editing like a madwoman for the past three days, and when I came across this image I just had to take a break to share it with you. Meet two-year old India. Is she not one of the most precious little people you’ve ever seen?!

I just got some great news! For the second year in a row, we were awarded the Bride’s Choice Award by WeddingWire! What an honor! I wasn’t aware the award was even going on this year, so I was really surprised and delighted.
Here’s what WeddingWire has to say about their Bride’s Choice Award:
This award recognizes the top 5 percent of local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service and professionalism.
The Bride’s Choice Awards™ are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds (brides and grooms) through extensive surveys and reviews, which means your past clients have spoken on your behalf and selected you to receive this honor.
None of the awards we’ve won would be possible without our incredible clients – so THANK YOU! I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

Last weekend I went to the home of Lexine and Tim, who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first child! Baby Dylan is due in roughly 6 weeks, and I cannot wait to meet him. Lexine was so wonderful to be around. She was so peaceful and laid back about pregnancy and the big life changes she and Tim are about to face. Enjoy these!

Hello lovelies!
I am looking for 5 volunteers to help me out with a secret project. Your involvement will take less than 15 minutes in the comfort of your own home (on your computer), and as a thank-you, you’ll score $50 off a portrait session.
Qualified participants will…
* …Not be current or former clients
* …Live in the Seattle area, so you can cash in on your portrait discount
First five respondents get the job!
