The babies are home!

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:53:05 -0800

A few people might be wondering what I've been up to lately. I have a good excuse for being a fair-weather blogger...I promise! I've been in the baby-making business. I have to say, I think things have turned out pretty darn good for my first venture. Let me introduce you to the loves of my life (in addition to my amazing husband and baby-daddy, Raif).

Fletcher, Grayson, and Hazel were born on February 2nd. So, that makes today their 1 month birthday. Here are a few snapshots that I took (very quickly) between feedings. Enjoy!

Grayson loooves to pucker up....

Uh, Hazel..sweetheart, Glamour Shots called, and they want their pose back.

And one last shot of the girls.....

There will definitely be more to come later!

BIG announcement...

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:57:38 -0800

OK, so if we haven't been able to tell you personally, we are expecting. Only, not in the traditional sense. We are actually expecting triplets!! We couldn't be more thrilled, and are counting the days until we get to meet our new family members: two sweet little girls, and a strapping boy.

Thanks to everyone for your support thus far! I will be on maternity leave starting the end of this week, and will be back the end of March. I will be checking email periodically, and updating you all with some photos upon their arrival.

Here I am sporting my ever-expanding belly! Cheers, Lisa

Hannah + Ryan: Wedding

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:56:54 -0800

These two Ballard residents stayed local for their nuptials, getting married at the Canal, on the Ballard locks. It was a gorgeous day, and we definitely made the most of it, by exploring the gorgeous gardens.

Here's the gorgeous couple meeting up in the gardens for the first time that day-

I love it when couples incorporate their pets into their wedding....and why not? they're family too! Hannah and Ryan had their two Great Dane's in the bridal party. Too cute!

They had two delicious-looking cakes, one of which was made in the shape of a giant Air-Jordan sneaker, just to match the groomsmen shoes. fun!

It was a very laid-back and fun reception, as you can see....

and one more of the bride...

Congrats to you both!!

Dede + Jesse: Wedding

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:12:26 -0800

These two lovebirds were married in Redmond, and celebrated their reception at De Lilelle Cellars in Woodinville. The venue was stunning, and there were even several sheep on the property. There are some weddings that I attend where the the couples are so in love that it's truly inspiring. This was one of those weddings. Congrats you two!

A fun, fitting the veil shot of Dede-

I love how Jesse got emotional at the first sight of his new bride-

They wanted one of *those eye shots*. I always aim to please!

We took a little moment to have some fun with the sheep. There were apricots on the ground, and the sheep would "beh-eh-eg" for you to feed them!

I love this shot of Dede & Jesse leaving for their reception -

And just a couple more portraits...

Jackie + David: wedding

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:46:15 -0800

This adorable and fun-loving couple were married at their family vacation house in amazing Friday Harbor, in the San Juan Islands. Raif and I went here on our first anniversary, and it was as breathtaking as ever. It's definitely a fantastic place to get away, or to get married! Here are a few from Jackie & David's wedding day, starting with a couple of getting ready shots-

The reaction of Jackie's mother seeing her in her dress was so sweet -

Then it was time for the bride and groom to see one another, so I had David wait in this little cove -

The bridal party -

The light during the ceremony was just gorgeous!

One of my favorite moments was at the beginning of the ceremony, when Jackie just couldn't hold it in, and gave her soon-to-be hubby a big smooch. I love that the minister tried to stop her...nice try -

After the ceremony, the sun was setting, so we grabbed a couple of sunset shots...Jackie's favorite -

And a couple of final shots...

Love this one!

and finally, the RINGS!

Congrats you two!!

Alan + Maria Wedding...w/ Nut Factory Booth!

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:49:06 -0800

Maria and Alan are some of our absolute favorite people on the planet! So, you can imagine how thrilled we were to share in their wedding day. It was actually held at the same location that Raif and I were married at 4 years ago, so it definitely brought back memories for us. Here are some images from their day, starting with the always beautisimus, Maria-

Alan just couldn't resist professing his love for Maria-

Loved this moment between them during the ceremony-

Maria dancing with her Papa-

Then it was Nut Factory time!!!

And a couple more of my oh-so-shy husband. Honey, I'm sorry, but that's gross...

And now for our state bird.

Congratulations to you guys...we love you!!!!

Jessica + Karl: Wedding

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:11:35 -0800

I realize that I've been MIA lately, and have been the world's greatest blolacker (blog-slacker). A lot has been going on behind the scenes, and I will update y'all very soon.

So, special thanks to Jessica and Karl for being patient with me!! I am excited to share some images from their special day. It was held on the 4th of July at the Edgewater Hotel. You may recognize these two stunners from their engagement session a couple of months ago-

Some portraits of the two love-birds -

Jessica was just glowing during the ceremony!

Cheers to you both!!!

So, for those loyal blog-fans, you may remember a couple of sessions on the old blog of the newborn Lang twins. Well, they're full on toddlers now, and are ready to have their little sister any day now. Greg and Jackie, (Grakie as we like to call them), are such great friends, and we're so thrilled for them to have another new addition. Congratulations guys!

Here are some portraits of their current clan. Kickin' it off with a shot of Jackie a la maternity -

Little Haley was afraid of the big-bad-camera...so cute!

We saw this little orange fuzzy caterpillar, but Andrew wasn't too sure about it. I don't blame ya little guy -

Deziree + Cory: Wedding

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:18:39 -0800

Deziree and Cory are such a delightful couple, and their daughter Destiny is adorable as they come! I have always enjoyed getting to hang out with them when they are in town, and their wedding was no exception. If you could see me right now, I'm doing my happy dance. =)
Here are some shots from their day -

After all the girls got their hair done, Destiny was so grateful that she went around the room hugging everyone individually...including me! It was so sweet!

The stunning Deziree -

I love any bride who wears cowgirl boots!

We had a few minutes before Deziree came down for their first sight, so we made the most of it.

I love this one of Cory lettin' loose....'I've got moves you've never seen'....

My brides are the coolest. My brides do cartwheels at their reception. =)

Cheers guys!! I know you'll have a blast in Italy!

Jessica + Karl: Engaged

Thu, 07 May 2009 11:19:40 -0800

I had a blast with these two in good ol' Seattle the other day. They graciously drove down from Bellingham just for the session, so I wanted to make sure we missed the scheduled rain that the weather gods predicted. Within minutes of us finishing, as I was driving home, a gianormous rainstorm came! If you are a wedding photographer, and you live in Seattle, you are livin' on the edge baby!

There session was so much fun...I was cracking up during the WWF ones...you'll see what I mean...

Oh yeah....work it out guys!!

I was dying!!!

Thanks you two. I can't wait to shoot your wedding on the 4th of July!

I am so proud! I just received the final CD for Cami Bradley: previous bride/client, wickedly talented musician, and friend. I was blown away by her vocal clarity, and the mix of styles in her music. Watch out: she has some serious pipes on her! I loved working on the photo shoot with her, and as always, she's very easy to photograph! You can check out some of her music and order it here. If you love genuine talent, and beautiful composition, check it out!

Hannah + Ryan: Engaged

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:00:48 -0800

This superbly adorable two-some are Ballard natives. They live in Ballard, spend their time there, and are getting married there in just a few months. So, to tie it all together nicely we thought we'd shoot their engagement pics there as well. It was a good thing too, because at the end of our time, we swung by their place to get a couple of shots with their adorable little pooches. Well, not-so-little....as they are both Great Dane's! Anyhow, can't wait for your big day guys!

And a couple with their babies....

You guys are positively adorable, and I am so grateful that I'm able to shoot your wedding in August!

Happy Monday

Last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting a baby/family session with baby-Sutton and her parents Alicia and Wade. She was an adorable bundle of cuteness, and Wade and Alicia were so casual, it made for a very fun saturday afternoon. Here are some of my favorites from the day...

Just in time for easter....bunny ears!

Sutton got a special treat for putting up with me and my crazy antics....

Thanks again guys...I had a blast!
