Belly Bump Picture made on Sunday…….

…on Tuesday she arrived as a  newborn baby. Above baby picture shows  bella baby Harper at six days of age. She is so amazing to see. My youngest daughter Claire is now 7 1/2 years old so it has been a while since I have been with such a cute baby. Actually there have been a number of other cute babies since then but each one seems so special.

If you have been following this blog, a few weeks ago Molly and April came into the studio on a Sunday in the beginning of December for a baby belly picture session. Two days later their very bella baby daughter, Harper McAllister Sather was born.   After 5 more  days later I dropped their house by to make some newborn baby pictures of her to complete the second half of the before and after photos. . Talk about good timing. Here are our first but not our last newborn baby photographs of her. Below are some more baby pictures from the same session.  ( Although baby pictures are not very common on this blog, they will occasionally make an appearance. After all, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the couple with a baby carriage…..)

Molly with Harper in her arms. I have been returning to photographing with an old Hasselblad and black and white film and I have to say I really enjoy the results. Not that I will give up on digital, but film is back in my arsenal of photographic tools.

I love the baby yawn pictures.

Sarah Hess and Judah Stevenson, standing on the dock right,  pose with all of their family and friends, just after their heart warming wedding ceremony, for a large group panoramic wedding photograph on the deck and dock of the Tyee Yacht Club on Seattle’s Lake Union. I do not know how to start to tell you how great a wedding day they had. I am about midway through the process of editing their wedding photos and so I thought I would lead off coverage of their wedding photography with the large group wedding portrait. It seems a little small on a computer monitor compared to the 3 foot long print I just made. Such are the limitations of the digital world. You can kind of get the idea though that this was one very happy group, celebrating the marriage of two beautiful people on a clear and wonderful fall day. A selection of highlight photos from the wedding will be posted here when the editing is finally completed.

The wedding ceremony of Mike Zawacki + Jody Sanders took place at St. Benedict Church in Wallingford and immediately afterwards everyone headed towards the back of the church and I headed up to the choir loft. I usually like to do these large group wedding photographs with my panoramic camera outdoors but the weather was not cooperating. Despite the threat of rain, St. Benedict Church had a lot of light inside so it was not too difficult to make the black and white wedding portrait of everyone at the wedding. After the photo we all headed out for the reception at the Edgewater Hotel.
The photos looks even better when printed 36 inches long.

Jason Parker + Darrah Barth were married at the beach at Golden Gardens September on a blustery and rainy Sunday and after the ceremony the weather cooperated.  It had been raining just before during the ceremony, but as typical, the rain came and went and  it was clear enough for us all to come out on the beach and get together for a panoramic group portrait.

Just after Kathy Minnis and Chris Olson’s wedding ceremony on the dock at the Lake Union Crew Boathouse , all of their friends and family gathered together for a panoramic wedding portrait, while trying to ignore the little puddles of water coming up through the dock. It was all in all a gorgeous day!
