Portrait: The Lovely Laura (Part 1)

Last week my gracious and adventurous friend, Laura, allowed me to take some photos of her! This girl is stunning! Not only is she absolutely beautiful, she is also so fun to be around! This was a last minute shoot and we had about 20 minutes of day light! She was a good sport, while I drove around like a crazy California driver- looking for some sun! Around this time of the year, it is very hard to find some sunshine--but we did it!! As soon as we found it, we ran towards it! I threw down my bag and began to shoot! Laura was a natural, as you will see below! It was my first time using a new lens, so I was adjusting to it-- but am please with the results and I can't wait to use it again! So for now, here's what we got! Thanks Laura for your time and your enthusiasm about something that is important to me! You look beautiful! Enjoy....

Fall is here...

Travels...

Ahhh, its that time of the year where all I can think about is traveling! There is something about the fall that makes me want to bundle up in scarves and mittens and jump on a plane and explore! I have always dreamed of traveling all over the world ever since I was a little girl! In 2009 my dream came true. I went through a complete life changing experience and was given the incredible opportunity to travel to London with my brother! I can honestly say this was one of the greatest times in my life. At the time, I just had a simple snapshot camera..nothing fancy, and I just took photo after photo documenting our time in London and Paris. Here are some of the photos I just recently came across. They bring back happy memories for me. I love reminiscing about the culture, the building architecture and the simplistic life. I introduce to you.... Snapshots from Across the World.

J&N Engagement Photos: Seattle

Recently I had the tremendous pleasure of taking engagement photos of my cousin Josh and his beauiful fiance, Naniette! These two were such fun and their love for eachother was evident throughout our time together. This was the first time I'd met Naniette (they both live in NY but were in WA visiting), and instantly I liked her! She was extremely kind and warm! Josh, you are very blessed to have found this gal! I wish you two all the best. Now for the photos!

There is nothing like a sunny day in beautiful Seattle...
