Summer Photo Sessions!!!

Hello, NW friends and family! This message is especially for you! We're thoroughly enjoying our summer vacation, and are soaking up all of the beauty the Pacific Northwest has to offer. While the time off is lovely, we're missing our cameras, so we've decided to offer a limited number of portrait sessions while we're here!!! Families, newborns, lovebirds... whatever! If you are interested, please shoot us an e-mail and we can discuss details and pricing. We look forward to photographing you!

Dance Portraits

Isaac and I were so flattered when we were asked to take dance portraits for the ASD dance students again this year! We spent the morning with a talented group of the sweetest and cutest girls you've ever laid eyes on! I've got a gazillion images to share, so I'll stop blabbing and get right to the pictures... enjoy!

Saunier Family

Meet the Saunier Family! Melonie sent us the sweetest letter, asking to set up a "Dubai" family portrait session before moving back to the United States this summer. We spent a toasty, but fun-filled afternoon with the Sauniers at Madinat and the beach. The kiddos were full of wonderful spunk, and we looked for every opportunity we could to have Andrew get tickled! It was such a joy to document this beautiful family at some of Dubai's best-known sites, and it was our hope that these photos would act as a warm reminder of their time in the UAE. Not everything goes as planned, however, and sometimes unexpected changes turn out to be wonderful. Not long after the session, the Sauniers' learned that they will not have to move. They are staying in Dubai! Woo hoo!!! We're so happy for you guys!

Heath Maternity

I was so excited when Kristi told me she had a bandeau style top... and that she was willing to wear it for her maternity photo session! You'll see why... =)

Tim and Kristi were just a few days away from welcoming their precious son, Owen Charles, into the world, when we met for maternity portraits. We started at Madinat... such a popular site for our portraits here in Dubai. Every time we go, we try to find some fresh new sites for our portraits, and I think we found some goodies! Tim and Kristi were absolutely adorable together! Their love for one another was evident and their excitement for the arrival of their little boy was tangible. Kristi was absolutely glowing- doesn't she look fabulous?! Can you believe she was just about to have a baby?! She was so tiny!!! Just before sunset we headed to the beach, and the bandeau top made its appearance...































See the love?









I was afraid Kristi would think I was crazy when I suggested she don a bikini and wade around in the ocean during her maternity session, but she jumped right on board. Yay!


Isn't she stunning?!









Kristi is a middle school science teacher. I was a zoology major. So, what do two science nerds do when they get together? Conduct an experiment, of course!

We decided to test whether 9-month pregnant women could float.

Please forgive me for not using the scientific method... I have limited time these days... so, skipping the background research, hypothesis, blah, blah, blah... we ran a few brief tests.

Our conclusion?


No. No, they cannot float. =)



I ended up needing a change of clothes... waded out a little deeper than I'd planned... but the soaking wet clothes were well-worth it! Thanks again, Tim and Kristi for such a fabulous evening! We can't wait to take portraits of little Owen=).
