seattle weddings, bump, babies, family, et al….2011 comes to an end…

it’s december 31st and i’ve been thinking about putting together a year end blog post for a few weeks now…this year was so full of fun and i am so grateful for the poignant moments that people have let me photograph.  i can’t express my gratitude for such an amazing year, so i’ll just show you a few (cough, em, well 85…) images that stood out to me…hope you enjoy…if you can hang in there until the end there is a photo of my kid (she’s totally worth it.)

i’m so excited to see what 2012 has in store!

on a personal note, i have to give a huge shout out to jen wade…not only is she my best friend, side kick, coffee drinking partner and main squeeze, she is a kick ass photographer.  she stitched this pano of the city from the front of the skansonia on halloween while i was inside doing the wedding thing.  she also has the magic power of getting my kid to hold still for a camera…she might actually be a wizard.  all i know is she’s the best.  2012 is gonna rock.
