Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my 365 blog!

{If you'd like to visit my portrait photography website, click here.}

I'm a mom of 2 kids and have been a photographer for over 4 years. I decided to task myself with doing a 365 {or rather 366} photo project for 2012. I will take a photograph every day, with my "big girl camera". It will mostly be about my life, portrayed artistically. I want to challenge myself creatively and try new things. I'm excited about where this project will take me and I hope you will follow the journey with me!

365 Project | Day 303 - 318 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

These were taken from November 1st through November 16th.  Many were taken with the iPhone this round.  We took the kids to Disneyland which was amazing but I didn't bring my big girl camera. :)

November 1st - A little anal, yes, but I always tell my clients to plan their outfits out before a shoot so I decided to take my own advice.

November 2nd - Absentee ballot ready!

November 3rd - Cute little guy I took photos of during my last round of mini-sessions.

 November 4th - Our family session :)  You'll see more soon!

November 5th - Mailing off these really cool accordion mini photo books to a client today.  I think she's going to be thrilled!

November 6th - sweet newborn again :)  This is how I get my baby fix now!

November 7th - (taken with iPhone) - Headed to the airport for our trip to California!
 November 8th - (taken with iPhone) - California Adventure (and Cars Land), here we come!

November 9th - (taken with iPhone) - Disneyland.  The kids saw a Jedi Training and Isaac chose a build-your-own light saber as his souvenir.  He's taking the part seriously.

November 10th - (taken with iPhone) - Done with Disney, now off to the beach with friends

November 11th - (taken with iPhone) - Chillin' with friends before heading to the airport

November 12th - Lots of rain here in Seattle makes for pretty rain drops.

November 13th - Lots of rain also makes for a great time for hot chocolates

November 14th - I have two for today.  We were baking for Ella's birthday tomorrow and someone got a little carried away!

November 14th (2) - These girls were skimming through the Nordstrom catalog like a couple teenagers.  It was cute and a little scary to be honest.

November 15th - Today my Ella girl turned 7!!  We had a few neighbors over for cake to celebrate.  Love the look on her face.

November 16th - More dark days and rain make for some cool moody photos.
