It’s summer – take your kids to the park for some sunshine and portraits benefitting a great cause! We will be at Greenlake Park near the playground on August 18 & 19 doing 25 minute sessions for $49 (we think it’s a good deal). $5 of every session is donated to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a non profit organization that offers infant bereavement photography. Recently having had babies ourselves, we aren’t quite emotionally ready to participate as photographers, but we still want to give to their cause, and what organization couldn’t use a little extra cash? To sign up send an email to kcbphotography@gmail.com and we’ll get you squared away in an available time slot.
One of my favorite salons for wedding day preparation is Robert Leonard Salon & Spa in Seattle. They have pampering down to an art and you are guaranteed to walk out their front doors feeling your most glamourous. When Kristi told us she and her wedding party would begin their day getting getting ready at the salon, we knew nothing but fabulous could follow.
Kristi’s earrings were absolutely beautiful! I love how they sparkled and danced when she moved.
Stunning. Simply stunning.
I couldn’t completely neglect our handsome groom. Cool and collected with the most welcoming, charming grin. The perfect dashing compliment to his ravishing bride.
Sometimes opportunities arise and you move forward not even realizing the full scope. If just feels right. Back in May we received a call from an organization called Wish Upon a Wedding. They are the first non-profit wish granting organization providing weddings for couples facing terminal illness. It was Wednesday and they working feverishly to create the first event for the Seattle chapter the following Sunday. We agreed, only understanding where we were to be and that we would be volunteering to photograph a wedding. What an incredible blessing it turned out to be. Shelly & Jay have a remarkable story, and thanks to the tireless efforts of Wish Upon a Wedding, the final chapter was a grand celebration for their wedding. Their wedding was a stark reminder of why we marry. To be joined to the one we love, for better or worse in sickness and health. Never before have those words held such meaning for me. Rylee & I were honored and so grateful to have been a part of Jay & Shelly’s day. We’ll post additional pictures next week now that we have the green light, but for now you can read about their story on today’s MSN.com page. It is so nice to see an organization with such a big heart making the headlines, a little more of that would go a long way. Click here to read the full article.
Lately I’ve felt a lot more like Amelia Bedelia and a lot less like Betty Crocker, but I did manage to bring out my inner do-it-yourselfer by making Nadia some baby food. It isn’t hard – just steam or roast the vegetables, then puree them until they’re smooth. Nadia loves the butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and peas that we made. Her favorite though is pureed white peaches. I think it tastes like a yummy smoothie (I try anything I have her try), so I don’t blame her for licking the bowl clean. I love how bright this food is.
