        <description>We are Sarah &amp; Chris Rhoads of Sarah Rhoads Photographers,
a husband and wife photography team based in Seattle, WA. We are passionate about telling peoples stories fully and authentically from a unique artistic perspective. We are excited about creating imaginative and honest imagery.  We are bored with that which is systematic &amp; contrived. We crave the unusual. We hold tight to the philosophy that people should be themselves fully and un-apologetically.  We like tea on a rainy day. Love the company of one another and see the world as our playground.

            <title>Snow day!</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>This weekend we had a snow day. In the best way possible it sprinkled down wonder from the sky. Chris &amp; I are total suckers for a good snow day. It started sort-of-snowing on Saturday &amp; we hurried home from brunch, put on our jammies, made some hot cocoa &amp; started a movie. Because, well, that's what you do when you have a snow day in Seattle; you lock yourself in the house because you can't drive in the snow here in your prius ;). We ended up jumping the gun a bit* because our sort-of-snow day on Saturday really just turned into just a gross rain day. However, when we woke up Sunday morning there was beautiful white snow on the ground. I'm not sure if you're anything like us, but when the snow comes we go into full kid mode; busting out the big boots, the sleds and you will most likely find us on the ground pounding together snowballs.</div><div><br /></div><div>The older I get the more I find myself seeking out that sense of wonder &amp; curiosity that children feel for everything they encounter. This weekend I felt that as Chris and I romped around in the snow together, laughing &amp; playing... much like children do. It's always curious the way the world finds a way to bring you back towards what is important. Sunday I was reminded of how important it is to stare wonder in the face on a regular basis &amp; how fun it is to forget about our ever growing list of responsibilites for a day and just enjoy life &amp; being together.</div>

            <title>Following the Hot Spots</title>
            <description><![CDATA[It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone. When I think of 2011 the word that stands out in my mind is <i>growth</i>. I feel like my world became so much more expansive this year. &nbsp;I saw the sky open up as I stood in that great open space of possibility. In many ways I still feel like that little kid with a million hopes and dreams throwing pennies into the pond, wishing only that I could fly. There are times in life when work is the driving force and we only get to see glimmers of our dreams take shape; and then there are other very special seasons of life when God allows us to see the fruit of our labor... much like a farmer in harvest season. This year was one of those rare and special harvest times when we saw many of our dreams move past inception and begin to take shape. There is only more hard work ahead, but sometimes it helps to have that beautiful pulled back perspective, the reminder that the work we do matters, the sweat &amp; man hours amount to something, and dreams do come true.<div><br /></div><div>I have always been a firm believer that each of us creatives must trust the "hot spots." What I mean by that is trusting those things that move us, inspire us &amp; get us excited. &nbsp;A lot of times hot spots don't always make the most logical sense, making them scary impulses to trust. But I think if we deny our hot spots for long enough parts of us die... beautiful parts that the world needs to see. So this year has been a year of trusting my heart and moving towards the heat. Our heart for photography has always been people-centric, in the past five years Chris and I have specifically fallen in love with the lifestyle aspects of storytelling which is what our <a href="http://wearetherhoads.com/">We Are the Rhoads</a> brand is all about. The evolution of this brand came from a hot spot that began five years ago and never left. This year we were hired by <a href="http://vimeo.com/26652853">Sony</a>, Coca-Cola, Hilton, Pepsi, Pfizer &amp; others to shoot their worldwide lifestyle campaigns for them (many of which will go live in 2012). I've never had so much fun during the creation process as I've had this year. This year was a true testament to the importance of trusting the "hot spots" on our creative journeys. I think it's always important for every creative to do a hot/cold check on a regular basis. Asking ourselves "why" we are doing things and making sure our reasoning resonates with someplace deeper within us.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>You'll notice I haven't spent as much time blogging on <a href="http://www.sarahrhoads.com/blog/">this blog</a> this year, that's because I was spending time living, shooting, creating, growing in new ways. Keeping with my "hot spot" philosophy, some things are going to change around here. From here forward this blog will simply become a place for me to explore my own creative journey, I will blog things that I'm learning, things that are challenging &amp;/or inspiring me &amp; what we're shooting from time to time. I wont be blogging things out of obligation or expectation. This is going to be a bit of a different space, a little more personal and exploratory. I understand if that doesn't interest some of you. This was a personal decision made from a hot spot, from a deep need to focus more on creating &amp; less on things that pull me away from that. &nbsp;For those who it does interest, I am looking forward to exploring new roads together. If you want to keep up with more of our commissioned lifestyle work you can stay up with it on our <a href="http://blog.wearetherhoads.com/">WATR blog</a>.<div>Thank you for being so sweet 2011, as we bid you adieu I look forward to the things this big giant world has to teach &amp; show me in 2012.</div><div><br /></div><div>

            <title>Cave B // The Gorge</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>A few weeks ago we took a fun little day trip out to the Gorge with a group of our talented friends for a good time in the desert mess with some of our newest film cameras &amp; play. Feels like we have shot in the desert a lot this year, once for the <a href="http://blog.wearetherhoads.com/post/4033853543/rue-mag-cover-shoot-tear-sheets">cover shoot of Rue</a> back in February, and then we had another project in the desert at some point... but honestly, does shooting fabulous people in a desert ever get old? I think not ;)&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I wanted to share some of these frames here since this is my little spot to post things that are going on in my creative journey. However, to see more about this shoot you can head over to our <a href="http://blog.wearetherhoads.com/">We Are the Rhoads blog</a>. Also, our friend, <a href="http://joelclare.com/">Joel</a>, put together a pretty fantastic <a href="http://vimeo.com/32541369">behind the scenes video</a>&nbsp;for this. He is insanely talented &amp; so are the rest of the folks that joined us for the road trip down to the Gorge this day and helped make this come to life...</div><div><br /></div><div>Photographers: Chris &amp; Sarah Rhoads</div><div>Motion: Joel Clare</div><div>Hair/Makeup: Tiffany Colors</div><div>Styling: Sherri Garcia</div><div>Talent: Megan, Gregg &amp; Tommy of SMG &amp; Levi &amp; Maggie of Heffner</div><div>PA: Samantha Kelly Knorr</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

            <title>Dream Audaciously...</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>A few weeks ago I flew down to the great state of Michigan to speak to a great group of female photographers at the <a href="http://herconference.com/">HER photography conference</a>. I'll be honest, speaking on a large scale as a keynote speaker isn't something I would put at the top of my resume. So needless to say, I was pretty scared out of my mind to talk to over 200 photographers on a platform for 90 minutes. Everything in me wanted to run, flee, say that I was busy and couldn't do it! BUT I'm so glad that I didn't. I faced a fear and I left personally changed from the experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>A large focus of my talk was on this idea of dreaming audaciously, staying hungry and acting courageously. This has been an ongoing theme in my journey thus far and I feel pretty passionate about each creative person putting these ideas into daily practice. My good friend, Brent Holloman, teamed with us to create some amazing 11x14 posters of a lot of these ideas &amp; phrases that we strive to live by. If you care to check out other posters you will find them at our <a href="http://store.wearetherhoads.com/">online store here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are no truer words than these,&nbsp;<i>"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours."</i> - Henry David Thoreau. I've seen this play out in my life time and time again. Dreams don't just materialize on their own. Everything must originate from somewhere... a tiny seed of a dream if fed and acted on intentionally can become so much more than you ever imagined possible. Oftentimes I think we're scared to dream audaciously. We're scared to let ourselves go there because if we dream it into existence and then don't accomplish that goal or dream we feel like failures in some way. But in order to succeed at anything, our desire for success should be greater than our fear of failure. I have to remind myself of this everyday. I have a great many things I aspire to do in this life, which means I don't have a lot of time for fear these days. Instead of allowing fear to take up that mental mind space I'd rather fill that mental real-estate with my audacious dreams and plans to turn those dreams into something real.</div><div><br /></div><div>and a big thank you to <a href="http://www.lifereflectionsbytangie.com/">Tangie Sheets</a> for taking this photo of me speaking!</div><div><br /></div>&nbsp;

            <title>Barb &amp; Russell</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>October is my absolute favorite time of year to live in Seattle. The leaves are turning, the markets on Sunday are bustling &amp; you need a warm neck at all times calling for scarfs every day. This is my kind of life. I've been enjoying my cider beers more than usual, as well as my hot tea every morning. The changing seasons remind me that time is still ticking away &amp; the holiday's are just around the corner.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Thankfully Barb &amp; Russell enjoy fall as much as me &amp; wanted to do their engagement shoot while the leaves were turning on the campus of University of Washington where both of them went to school. It was an absolutely breathtaking day in Seattle and the sun came out to kiss our arms. Barb &amp; Russell are an absolute delight. They have a passion for traveling, great senses of humor &amp; they share an affinity for Chris &amp; I's favorite shows.... one of those being Arrested Development. These two are just incredible &amp; I had a ton of fun making magic with them on their engagement shoot.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope everyone is loving their respective fall seasons &amp; their yummy ciders!</div>

            <title>let your light shine..</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>Tonight I was prepping my notes for a speech I am giving at a conference for photographers on Tuesday. As I was going through some of my favorite books looking for some of my reference notes I found this beautiful quote that I had underlined just about two years prior. It impacted me so much then and when I read it again tonight, it had the same profound effect on me. So much so that I felt more than compelled to share it here tonight along with an image that was taken earlier this week.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nelson Mandela is reported to have addressed these words of Marianne Williamson's to the world at large.</div><div><br /></div><i>"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,</i><div><i>Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.&nbsp;</i></div><div><i>It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.&nbsp;</i></div><div><i>We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,</i></div><div><i>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;and fabulous -</i></div><div><i>Actually, who are you not to be?</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>You are a child of God.</i></div><div><i>Your playing small doesn't serve the world.&nbsp;</i></div><div><i>There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people</i></div><div><i>Won't feel insecure around you.&nbsp;</i></div><div><i>We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.&nbsp;</i></div><div><i>It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone,</i></div><div><i>And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously</i></div><div><i>Give other people permission to do the same.</i></div><div>- Marianne Williamson</div><div><br /></div><div>

            <title>Kayla &amp; Clint</title>
            <description><![CDATA[ <div>On a recent trip to Dallas we had the pleasure of photographing Kayla &amp; Clint. These two contacted us a while back about doing a lifestyle shoot of them while we were in the Dallas area. These two cuties are <a href="http://www.kaylabarker.com/">photographers</a> working out of Midland, TX and made the drive up to D-town for this shoot. They ended up getting a room at the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nylohotels.com/">Nylo hotel</a>&nbsp;which had a really cool loft, industrial &amp; modern feel to it. Kayla &amp; Clint said the vibe of Nylo was a true reflection of their personal style &amp; aesthetic, making it a great place for their shoot with us. I was also stoked because you guys know what a sucker I am for yummy back-light and Dallas brought the beautiful yumminess in the light department the evening of their shoot. &nbsp;We were in photographer heaven with these two.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm personally attached to this particular shoot because I went into it challenging myself not to just rock out a great lifestyle shoot, but I wanted to really push myself to create something more honest in my portraiture work. Oftentimes I find myself getting to that place just* before that one truly vulnerable and brilliant frame and moving on prematurely. Recently I have been challenging myself to slow down, to sit with the moment a bit longer, and wait for that something honest &amp; truly special to happen. These two are absolutely radiant. Enjoy Kayla &amp; Clint!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>

            <title>What if Conference</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://whatifconference.com/">What if?</a> It's THE question that fosters ingenuity. It drives our advancements, large &amp; small and yet it's the simplest of questions... What if?&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>What if, I take a leap into the unknown?&nbsp;</div><div>What if, we decide to do something that scares the heck out of us?</div><div><br /></div><div>What if... is a question that is not only asked on a regular basis in Chris &amp; I's world... it is a question that we live by. Why? because we are dreamers. But more importantly, we are do'ers. No great endeavor ever began without someone asking "what if?" and thus setting something brilliant in motion. I imagine it is a question that is on the tongue of any great innovator at any given moment.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are so thrilled to be invited to be a speaker/innovator &amp; collaborator at the very first <a href="http://whatifconference.com/">"WHAT IF" conference</a> in Cabo, Mexico this coming January. We believe in what this conference is all about. This is a conference for Creatives, by Creatives. It's for people that want to put something great into motion. Each of the innovators involved in this project have very unique respective journeys &amp; perspectives that have required taking leaps of faith to get to where we all are. We are excited to learn from everyone at the conference. The innovators on board for this so far are <a href="http://wearetherhoads.com/">us</a>, Jesse &amp; Whitney of <a href="http://www.ourblogoflove.com">Our Labor of Love</a>, our Aussie buddy <a href="http://www.danodayphotoblog.com/">Dan O'Day</a>, <a href="http://www.bebbblog.com/">Steve &amp; Jenn Bebb</a>, <a href="http://yogabbagabba.com/#">Justin Lyon</a>&nbsp;, <a href="http://www.jeshderox.com/">Jesh de Rox</a> &amp; <a href="http://ibarraphoto.com/">Jamie Ibarra</a>. Such an incredible crew of people that we feel fortunate to link arms with.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am personally totally stoked to hang out at a resort in Mexico with a bunch of totally talented photographers and gain new insights, perspectives &amp; get back to the heart and soul behind why I am a photographer. If you are a big dreamer, an innovator &amp; someone who has questions about "what next?" this is a conference for you. For those of you want to <a href="http://whatifconference.com/">learn more</a>&nbsp;please head on over to the website to hear more. And you can&nbsp;<a href="http://whatifconference.com/?page_id=101">get signed up here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>

Honest to goodness, these two are about as sweet, thoughtful &amp; genuine as they come. When I think of these two as a color I would pin them as bright, cheery yellows. So when we arrived on their wedding day and saw that yummy color spattered about, it fit them perfectly. Their wedding was a true reflection of them from head to toe.&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">These two got married outdoors at the lovely&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica, arial; line-height: 18px; "><a href="http://www.kubota.org/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Kubota Gardens</a>&nbsp;and had their reception following at <a href="http://www.415westlake.com/">415 Westlake</a>.

We've been drinking way too much apple cider and I've been burning pumpkin spice candles like they are going out of style. I just can't help myself with those things. Every year, without fail, the second it feels the slightest bit like fall, the pumpkin candles come out and it's like my crack. I think I go through withdrawals at the end of pumpkin spice candle burning season... it's a sad, sad time. So I am enjoying this perfect fall season while I can and taking it all in pumpkin spice candles and all.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="helvetica, arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica, arial; line-height: 18px; "></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: helvetica, arial; line-height: 18px; ">Venue:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kubota.org/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Kubota Gardens</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Photographer:&nbsp;<a href="sarahrhoads.com/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Sarah Rhoads Photographers</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Reception: <a href="http://www.415westlake.com/">415 Westlake</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Coordinator:&nbsp;<a href="http://sugarcomb.com/index2.php#/home/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline; font-family: helvetica, arial; color: rgb(128, 130, 129); ">Kelsey Eads w/ Sugarcomb Event Design</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Florist:&nbsp;<a href="http://metropolitan-market.com/home.php" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Elizabeth w/ Metropolitan Market</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Ceremony Band:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.windsongtrio.com/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Windsong Classical Trio</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">DJ:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ewihome.com/#" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Events With Integrity</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Caterer:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.italianissimoristorante.com/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Italianissimo</a></div><div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Makeup/Hair:&nbsp;<a href="http://tiffany-colors.com/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Tiffany Colors</a></div></span></div>

            <title>Rue Magazine: Anniversary Issue</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>We had the pleasure of shooting the cover story for <a href="http://www.sarahrhoads.com/blog/2011/03/rue_issue_4.html">Rue Magazine's fourth Issue</a>&nbsp;in the Vegas desert in February of this year. We had <a href="http://vimeo.com/22325604">so much fun</a> at that shoot, all of us decided to do it all over again, this time in San Francisco!&nbsp;We are so thrilled to have a 12 page lifestyle/fashion story for Rue Magazine's very special <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/issues/anniversary-issue/">anniversary issue</a>!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>This magazine is made up of some of the coolest most inspirational gals out there. They are women that set their minds to something and do it exceptionally well. I am so impressed by everything these gals have accomplished in just one short year. I am especially grateful for the way this magazine brings people together. Rue has given me a beautiful &amp; kindred spirit friend in miss&nbsp;<a href="http://www.annesage.com/blog/">Anne Sage</a> who is the magazines Executive Editor. Anne, Chris and I collectively dreamed up this shoot &amp; somehow made it all happen in a little less than a week. Anne did ALL of the fantastic styling for this and I honestly would wear every one of these pieces she put on Charlotte. So yummy.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>So now run over &amp; check out <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/issues/anniversary-issue/">this issue of Rue</a>! Their issues are always so full of interior &amp; lifestyle goodness &amp; this one is no different! I always catch myself wanting to pin everything to <a href="http://pinterest.com/sarahrhoads/">my boards</a>. Our story is on pages 90-102* &amp; check out <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/29988367">this fab behind the scenes video </a>Oskari Polho put together for this!</div><div><br /></div><div>Photography //&nbsp;<a href="wearetherhoads.com/" style="text-decoration: underline; ">Sarah &amp; Chris Rhoads</a></div><div>Styling // <a href="http://www.annesage.com/blog/">Anne Sage</a>&nbsp;</div><div>Makeup &amp; Hair // <a href="http://meagannemccandess.com/">Meaganne Mccandess</a>&nbsp;</div><div>Models // Charlotte &amp; Garret of <a href="http://www.lookmodelagency.com/">Look Model Agency</a></div><div><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/29988367">Behind the Scenes Video</a> // Oskari Polho&nbsp;</div><div>Location // San Francisco, CA</div><div>Magazine // <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/issues/anniversary-issue/">Rue Magazine Anniversary Issue&nbsp;</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>

            <description><![CDATA[<div>A few weeks ago Chris and I went over to our friend, <a href="http://tiffany-colors.com/">Tiffany's</a> house for a fun little shoot we put together on one of the last weeks of summer. Tiff's husband, Sean, has a great little classic fiat that he was kind enough to let us borrow for this. This shoot was going to be a &nbsp;100% film shoot, but I think we got sucked into some kind of crazy Bermuda triangle this day and our Hassleblad, Leica &amp; Contax all stopped working on us... thankfully, we had one backup digital camera in our car that we were able to use for this. How it is possible for all of our perfectly great film cameras to breakdown at once still blows my mind?! but whatever! I guess the universe was just telling us NO for whatever reason. We ended up getting some really great frames from this day regardless &amp; I may post more from the second part of this shoot next week :)</div><div><br /></div><div>What is everyone up to this weekend? We have the weekend off, which I'm thrilled about because the seasons are changing, the air is nice &amp; crisp &amp; the colors are starting to pop through on the trees. There is no place greater to be than Seattle in the fall. I think we will go on a hunt for a couple of end chairs for our dining room &amp; go to the market on Sunday, I'll probably test out my new camera that Chris got me for my birthday &amp; just relax a little. I've really been craving some delish apple cider... so I think I'm going to make it my personal quest to track down some of that kind of goodness. Happy Friday guys!</div><div><br /></div><div>Hair/Makeup: <a href="http://tiffany-colors.com/">Tiffany Colors</a></div><div>Models: Stephen of <a href="http://www.smgmodels.com/">SMG</a> &amp; Lerin</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

            <description><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; color: #333333">This past year of life would be best compared to being in some weird time warp where time moves at the speed of light and I wake up another year older. Twenty-six has been a year full of a lot of wonderful surprises. This year has required stepping out in faith &amp; being brave. I learned so much about myself.... &amp; yet, I know I still have SO much left to learn.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; color: #333333"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; color: #333333">This morning I came home from yoga to find the sweetest gift on my doorstep from my best friend, Jenice, it was a hand-crafted poster of 27 reasons turning 27 is awesome. The ones that rang the most true, "you own going to bed earlier" &amp; "you are at the prime of your life." Can't wait for what this next year of life has in store!</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; color: #333333"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial; color: #333333">A few things I am thankful to have learned from my 26 year old self:</p>

            <title>Phillips Family</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I was contacted by Ketti last year about doing a family session and time and schedules just got away from us, but this year she reached out to us again and we made it happen. I am so glad we did! Ketti is a photographer as well &amp; what typically happens is photographers don't end up actually IN any photos with their spouses &amp; kids so I'm always overjoyed to be able to capture families, especially for photographers.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>When I was growing up my dad was always the one who stepped out of the frame to get shots of my sister, my mom &amp; me. I figure there is always someone in every family that ends up taking on that role. Unfortunately, that means I don't have many photos with my dad actually IN the picture and now that he's no longer with us, I really wish I had more of those moments captured with him. This is the very reason I love working with families. The different seasons you walk through in life with your family are precious. Even if you have a grumpy &amp; crying two year old, you (and THEY) will be happy that you captured this time along the way. I am not interested in capturing the "perfect" family photo where everyone is flawless and wearing their perfectly pressed matching outfits. I am interested in capturing the honest moments, the joy and spontaneity of life as it unfolds in the moment. I love this session because it is exactly that. Enjoy...<br /><div><br /></div><div>

            <title>Lizy &amp; Skyler</title>
            <description><![CDATA[ <div>Lizy &amp; Skyler flew into Seattle from Arizona on one of the most beautiful weekends Seattle saw this summer. We will be shooting their wedding in Arizona next year and these two came into town for their engagement session with us and we had an absolute blast with them. I'm always a happy camper when the yummy light comes out to play. It's not every day you get light like what we had on their session, I sort of go full geek when that happens. "Full Geek" looks a little like a child who can't wait to get his ice cream cone so he starts jumping up and down in anticipation... yeah a little like that. It's the little things, guys.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Lizy &amp; Skyler are just darling and oh so kind. Lizzy is just that right* amount of shy... the kind where it is just adorable, and then you put a sangria in her &amp; she's all giggles, she is definitely my kind of gal. Skyler is the funny guy, confident, collected and smart. They make a great team together. We found out we like a lot of the same shows, Mad Men, Design Star &amp; Secrets from a Stylist to name a few. Skyler loves that Mad Men style so he and Lizzy dressed the part in his suit and her pencil dress for the last part of the shoot and we had some fun at the sculpture park in Seattle.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy the lovely Lizy &amp; Skyler..</div><div><br /></div><div>
