Ashley: Lynden Senior Portraits

Ashley is a senior at Lynden Christian this year.  She's an amazingly caring and mature young adult, who can't help but impact the world around her positively.

Baby Kyah

What a day!  Last week, I followed the Terpenings around for an afternoon as they went through their routine with Kyah.  I turned out to be a great way to get some candid shots of their new addition.  Love you guys!

The Lewis Family

I work at Bellingham Christian School with Andy Lewis.  We actually met seven years ago when we were both still students learning how to be teachers.  Since then, he's had three amazing kids with his wife Sarah and we've taught middle school together for six years.  He has a great family and I was pretty excited to get to hang out with them for a bit during such a busy time in their lives.

As you can tell from the pictures, they are adding on to their house right now, which means their lives are a bit crazy.  We decided to do the family portraits amongst the construction to reflect not only where their kids are in their development, but where their house is too.  Enjoy.

Karl: Bellingham Senior Portraits

It's catch up time.  I'm hoping to get bunch more posts done in these next few weeks.  First up is Karl, a senior at Squalicum this year.

Heidi and Nick: Bellwether Hotel Wedding

Heidi and Nick had such a perfect day for their wedding.  It was held at the Bellwether Hotel in Bellingham in September.  September is usually the perfect month for weddings in Washington, but on this day all signs were pointing to rain all day long.  Mindy and I checked the weather forecast repeatedly in the days leading up to the wedding, came extra early and scouted dry locations for throughout the day, packed umbrellas for everyone, and didn't have a single drop of rain all day.  In fact, during their bride and groom portrait session, the clouds broke away and we ended up using the sun to get our look, as opposed to just trying to stay dry!  ...and did I mention the amazing floral design by Colleen Elkins of Botanikal?  Everything just came together perfectly.

I said it before, but Heidi and Nick were great to be around on their wedding day.  Despite threatening rain, they have huge smiles in every one of their wedding pictures.  That's a great way to start a marriage.  Thanks again guys for a great day.  We wish you the best.
