The hallway shot is great, totally creepy :) CANT WAIT TO SEE THE SHOOT!!
i (laura) spent a month in Thailand in college and it was fantastic. Make sure to check out Chiang Mai (northern part of the country) ... it's an incredible city. Enjoy your trip and soak it all up. Ben and I took a 3 week vacation last September to Europe and it was exactly what we needed to re-energize ourselves after a crazy year. Cheers and God Bless!
So so much to do and see there, you will love it. That area of the world is one of my favorite places on the planet - a little jealous that my calendar in a month does not include trips to Thailand. : )
Thank you for your inspiring words. I too recognize a need to find more of a balance. I too know I need it and I am working on attaining it. You are so right I have never had an inspiring idea sitting at my desk. I went for a bike ride with my husband the other night and I instantly came up with a creative solution as soon as we hit the road. Answering that one more e-mail, processing that one last photo is so easy to do when you absolutely love what you do but it is important to step away. Thank you for the reminder. I love the way you write.
Great thoughts! I agree completely in stepping away from the computer.
I spent exactly 3.5 weeks in Thailand once and was thoroughly re-energized.
If you're near Hua Hin on the Southern end, you can rent mopeds and cruise through Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. It's like Arizona with it's rocks...but Thai-like with the beautiful ocean a few km away! And then if you're sore from exploring, foot massages are basically $5 an hour all over the country. Ride an elephant and enjoy the people there...they are genuinely sweet.
If you're going to be in Bangkok, Chatuchak Weekend Market (aka JJ Market) at Mo Chit is a true adventure and a unique shopping experience. My favorite market in the entire world! DON'T MISS IT. :)
So excited for you both! Doing it for that length of time is definitely worth it. Robin & I recently got away to the coast and it took us two days to truly de-coil. Can't wait to see what you make out of it.

I spent all of February in Northern Thailand with a girlfriend of mine. We did a story on a ministry called House of Grace that started out in 1987 doing prostitute rescue and now works on the preventative side of things, saving girls in danger of being sold into human trafficking. We hope that our book, telling the story of the ministry and of individual girls there, will be published sometime next year.
All that said... I LOVE THAILAND. You will love it, I think. I've been several places around the world (I'm love freelance missions photojournalism), and Thailand is my favorite place. Can't wait to see your shots from that amazing place!!!

You will LOVE Thailand. It's such a special place, everyone that leaves it leaves inspired. Definitely go to Chiang Mai, visit Doi Suthup while you're there, and an elephant sanctuary. I feel like most things are best when discovered on your own, so I'll hold myself back from mentioning every little thing I can think of!
Enjoy every second! Take a tuk tuk at least once, and eat a banana pancake on the street for me!
There is a photographer out of San Diego that just took a trip there - and I don't think it was his first. Bobby Earle. http://bobbyearle.blogspot.com/
I bet he can tell you about lots of great places.
Thank you for the reminder of the importance of stepping back and finding time to go out there and get inspired. Thailand will be amazing I'm sure and I excited to see all of the fabulous images you guys take. I already know they are going to be awesome!
beautiful! i'm sure thailand will be amazing!

Theese photos are fantastic, I really like the colours and the beautiful facial expressions... love theese, love, love love!! *_*
I don't comment often on your blog, but I love this set. It's so fun! Really nice - thanks for sharing!
i love it! the next time we are in Seattle you and chris will have to do our family photos...i love these. :)
LOVE it. He's so cute in his hat! What a gorgeous family!
what an awesome family shoot, and your style complimented them perfectly!
These images are so refined and classy. The family is working it out as well! They definitely bought the style of the era to life.
i really love everything about this session. you truly rocked it sarah!
Sarah your photos always stun me with beautiful compositions and color, and the clients are so awesome for playing along so well.
Everyone did their part in this shoot and it looks stunning!
I absolutely ADORE every single image. Well done to everyone!
How fun are these! Great job Sarah! It helps that the family did a fabulous job with the styling! Love the hats.
Sarah & Chris - I'm sure it's not appropriate or polite to comment on our own session but.... WE LOVE THESE IMAGES! I became a photog partly so I could always be behind the camera and NEVER in front of it. I just knew I wanted you two to shoot us b/c you would "get" us. You so did. You two were wonderful and we had a great time with you in downtown Seattle. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful piece of our lives to have forever. Kate thinks she's darling (ok, she is) and I'm afraid Jay's head might get too big for his hat! Thanks again and many blessings to you both!
great session! it looks like you all had a lot of fun!
I heart these shots!
I love their style! Especially the Dick Tracy-esque dad! Awesome photos!
Awesome session! Love the creativity of the family and your skills to capture their vision. You also captured so many sweet moments with the family - great work!
I like my steak medium rare, but prefer my family shoots like this... Well done. : )
oh my! what an excellent idea. I think ill go make my self a stiff old fashion in honour of that man's fantastic hat! beautiful shoot. thanks.
I absolutely adore this shoot - it's like these people were made for you! I follow your work and am constantly inspired to better my own. Have you done a workshop before? I'd be super interested if you have or will again! Thanks for upping the cool factor constantly - A
those are beyond cool. and especially so knowing the photographer (who I taught everything she knows...ok not everything..ok nothing, but yes I do know you) :) AND The subjects. Man the Dunhams are some cool cats! (I need a hat like that)
