Unconditional : The JOLLEY Family | Park City, Utah

The other great session we had in Park City, Utah was with the Jolleys. We walked around several blocks in downtown Park City, and got so many great photos of this gorgeous family!

Unconditional : The KOLLER Family | Park City, Utah

Last month, I met up with a great group of friends who are AMAZING photographers-mothers-&-women for a weekend inspirational retreat in Park City, Utah. We had the best time hanging out; talking photography, life, and everything in between; snacking on SCRUMPTIOUS chocolate toffee almonds; and enjoying the plush, Marriott hotel beds that we each had to ourselves! It was a fabulous weekend, and I flew back to Seattle feeling ready to take on my love and passion for photography in an entirely new way. It was inspiring simply to be around my SWIT girls, who each love what they do intensely - managing families and pursuing photography. Looking forward to NYC next year, ladies! xoxo LOVE YOU GUYS!

We did a couple of photo shoots together, the first being the Koller family. Their kids were adorable and worked the cameras around them like naturals!

Precious Moments : KATELYNN, DYLAN & JAYLYNN | Costa Mesa, CA

The last time I saw my niece Katelynn, she was maybe 5 or 6, at my cousin Jenn's wedding in San Diego. She and my sister Tiare are about the same age, and they played and danced at the wedding together - both so little and so adorable! All these years later, Katelynn is a beautiful young lady and a great big sister to her brother Dylan and baby sister Jaylynn, who I'd gotten to meet for the first time :). All 3 were always ready for me with dazzling smiles! These three gorgeous kids belong to my cousin Andrea and her husband John.

It was great to see you guys!! xoxo ♥ Love you lots!

Unconditional : The ROBINSON Family | Costa Mesa, CA

I vividly remember my 7th birthday that we celebrated one summer in California. We went to Chuck E. Cheese, and I was in heaven! My cousins who I rarely saw growing up had come along, and I was thrilled. Twenty years later, after some fun photo shoots, the same cousins who had celebrated my birthday way back when, took us to Chuck E. Cheese, with all of our kids in tow :). It was a treat for me that Junior and the girls could meet everyone, and we had a great time.

My cousin Jenn and her husband Vicente are Mom & Dad to beautiful little Marley Anuhea. In a few months, Miss Marley will be a big sister! She ate the camera right up :), and was so fun to take pictures of!

Love you guys! Thanks for being so patient waiting for these to go up! Andrea's photos up next :).

Unconditional : The TUIOLOSEGA Family | Costa Mesa, CA

California is one of my absolute favorite places to visit because I have so much family there! On my last trip in July, thanks to Facebook, and my friends Sa and Christine, I was able to meet up for a quick visit with my cousin Christopher and his wife Myra, and their two adorable kids, Noah and Macey. It had been several years since I had seen Chris and Myra, and it was so good to catch up for a bit. Luckily, we had the chance to get together again on this trip, complete with all our families, for a photo shoot and Chuck E. Cheese! Stay tuned for Chris' sisters' families up next too - it was a mini reunion, and it was great for my little family to meet everyone.

Just Because : 'ONE RUFFINS | Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

This shoot was a quick one, but I wanted to post a couple of pictures from it. 'One is FABULOUS! She is the Mama Extraordinaire to the featured Honestine & Tyson, and beautiful wife to Murphy. She's also my mom's sister-in-law who we absolutely adore :). 'One is kind, funny, and great to be around, and since I've met her, she's been nothing but wonderful to our family. Thank you 'One for everything, and for such a fun day!
