Last week Em and I had the chance to meet up with fellow local photo Mimi and head out to play in the gorgeous evening light. Em was in heaven as the star of the show with her own personal paparazzi in tow, lol! here are some of my favs from my camera!
Super big thanks to Mimi for thinking to bring that amazing red chair!!!

surely the fact that i was able to acquire these little photographic gems more than makes up for the, seriously-not-kidding, 14 misquito bites i recieved during the course of our trip. right?

it really does seem hard to believe that a whole school year has gone by already! feels like just a couple of months ago we walked to school on that first day and watched as she bravely (and a little excitedly) stood in her class line and walked into the building only to emerge a few hours later with a very proud smile on her face. now, nine months later there's this amazing six-year-old who can read, enjoys doing math, and is trying her best to write in cursive ("did i write my name in cursive right, mama?").
(as always...the "Typepad Wonky Photo Viewer" is on the prowl, just click on the photos to make them look like...actual photos!)

this not so little one here:
was my very first paid photog gig some three years ago. she was 8 weeks old, and i remember being so nervous standing at their doorstep, hoping to God i didn't mess it up, lol! I guess i did alright some 6+ sessions and one baby brother later! here are a few from our latest outing at the gorgeous Arboretum!

this one I've known since she was in her mama's belly. i was only 8 at the time (you do the math) but boy does that make me feel old!! i've had my eye on her for a few years now, knowing that she would get along soooo well with my camera :) happy to see that i was right! thanks taylor! you're gorgeous!
(not sure if typepad has fixed the resolution problems yet, so click on photo to see it un-wonky)

woke up this morning to balloons and presents and, at her request, a breakfast of scones and mama's ham-egg-cheese souffle.
and a peek at the sunset last night. our house faces due west and was lit up in bright pink/red for almost a half hour. it was seriously cool

a little late to the senior photos game, but we got them done, just the same. she was a dream to work with (i mean look at how gorgeous she is!) and i had a great time making her do all sorts of jumps in her cheer outfits!
(click on photos to open them seperatley, for some reason typepad is making them look all wonky)

weekend before last yielded us the most beautiful April day, so to take full advantage we headed downtown for a bit. wandered through the market for a while, got some lunch (lamb gyro, hot dog, clam chowder), hung out. since it was soooo nice we headed over to Alki (the beach community where the shot below was taken) and walked along the boardwalk, down on the beach, got some seashells, etc. the rest of the pics can be seen HERE!

this one, lost (04.18) during a breakfast of cereal, has been loose since November. i kid you not. the permanent tooth has been completely in for a few weeks now, just chilling out behind the loose one. she refused to pull or even encourage it to come out in any way, so we had to wait it out. hopefully the top two won't hang in quite as long!
happy Sunday!
i've been sadly amiss and in desperate need of taking photos of ms. thang. so a few weekends ago i threw on her sassy hat and a new dress and managed to get a few. i've got several other tops/dresses that i want photos of her in, so hopefully be summer's end we'll be all caught up, photo shoot wise.
just spending a quiet Saturday at home. we're having some weird weather here, last Sat. it was sunny and 85 (photos from our day out soon), cut to the snow falling outside right now. it was all over the roofs and ground when we got up this morning. so wild!!!
hope you're having a warm day, wherever you are!
