Beach Day! | West Seattle Family Photographer

The gorgeous weather that we’ve been having in Seattle has me dreaming of many more beach worthy days this coming spring/summer. It also reminded me of this great mini-session I had at Alki Beach in the fall.

I was lucky to work with this amazing mama in a former life. In that life, I was a senior account manager at a national telecom provider and Sarah was a strategic sales representative. We worked (at what seemed) endless hours on our accounts together. When I left in 2009 to have my daughter, I had a feeling that she wouldn’t be far behind me. I was right, and she had her son about a year after Carli was born. We both happily left the corporate telecom world to be full-time mamas and have barely given a glance back over our shoulders! I feel very lucky to have Sarah’s early support for my photography career, and we met at Alki Beach in West Seattle for some to commemorate R’s 2nd birthday with some family photos. I was especially excited when we lucked out on gorgeous weather in November… in Seattle. (Yes, this blog is for photos taken in November. There will be more OLD sessions posted too.) R was a fun-loving, typical, on-the-go boy, but we did manage to capture a few of his precious nose-scrunch smiles. So cute! I had fun chasing R around the beach and seeing how much he loved being there with his mommy and daddy.

Carli and I just recently had lunch with Sarah and R before they made their big move from Seattle to Boise. It is so bittersweet that they moved away and that is what finally got us together, but I am so happy that we did. Sarah and I are each expecting our second child, so we’re determined to keep in touch and be our own little support group to get through the next crazy chapter of motherhood. 🙂 I wish them the best of luck with their big move to Idaho, and can’t wait to meet their new little girl the next time they’re in town!
