A Fun Walk in the Seattle Japanese Garden (Seattle, WA)

Beautiful_Seattle_Japanese_Friendship_Garden_Family_Session_01 It was a beautiful afternoon with a slight drizzle over the colorful Seattle Japanese Garden. This was the first time I've been to this lovely garden. Thanks Deborah for bringing me to this gem at this time of year. The landscape was nicely crafted and the fall foliage decorated it well. And I was happy to see this beautiful family again after a year!

Katherine + Timothy: Engaged! (San Francisco, CA)

San-Francisco-Wedding-Photographer-Fort-Point-engagement-session-01 It was another gorgeous day in San Francisco, sunny and hot! This time my couple, Katherine and Timothy, took me first to the Fort Point Museum. The old brick building itself is quite unique and lends itself to a lot of fun and interesting spots for cool and creative frames. However, the museum closes quite early and just when we were about to get another cool shot up on the roof, with Kathy and Timothy standing up on the wall against the wind, the attendant already came herding us to leave the museum!

We then stopped along the coast to enjoy the dreamy sunset lighting, and then headed to the San Francisco downtown area. Timothy brought me to the restaurant he first met Kathy, to reminisce the memorable moments that brought them together. It was so sweet and romantic!

It was fun walking through the bustle and hustle of this beautiful city at night! We had such a great time that the hours went by like a breeze! I am eagerly looking forward to their upcoming wedding!

Fun walk in the Park (Mercer Island, WA)

San_Francisco_family_kids_photographer_Mercer_Island_happy_family_happy_siblings_01There's nothing better than taking the time to have a relaxing stroll in a park with your family. The siblings were so lovable, and the big brother was such a gentleman. The weather started off a bit gloomy. But the kids had a lot of fun, especially skipping rocks by the lake. The clouds started to disappear as we walked around, and we got a glimpse of the blue sky towards the end.  

It always made me feel warm to capture these little moments for families. It might seem simple and casual, but each hug, hand-holding and smile are all precious moments that the family could look back and share when the kids grow up!
