Introducing... Eli

Introducing Eli Dale... This little guy is 7 days old exactly and was born at 8lbs 7 ounces. His momma Sarah is a close friend of mine and she and her husband Sean where often my life saver as I transitioned into being a new mom with the arrival of Cohen 15 months ago. His older sister and brother, Kaelee and Owen are by far Cohen's best friends! I only hope that Cohen and Eli become best friends too!

It was a long wait for Eli! I think I can speak for this family that was well worth the wait for this perfectly cute and totally precious little guy. Enjoy the pictures!

Emily Kate and Parker {Sneak Peek}

Check out these two adorable little girls. Emily Kate is 2 with perfect skin and tight curls. Parker is 5 and has already had visits from the tooth fairy. Her toothy smile, pretty eyes, and ringlets are to die for. Although Emily was a bit stubborn this day I still came away with some cute stuff. What two year old is not stubborn, right? Mom was a great sport and even jumped in a few shots herself. It was great meeting this cute little family! More images to follow but until then enjoy this sneak peek!

The Powell's

Here is a little sneaky peekie for the Powell family. Jenna, Brad and son Logan were so easy breezy... just another day at the office. It made for easy picture taking and a lot of great images. Jenna and I have known each other since elementary school. Probably the first grade. Although it had been well over 15 years since I had seen her we both still remembered so much about growing up and each others families. It was great to meet her little one Logan who has the same typ of energy and contagious smile that I remember Jenna having as a little girl. All grown up this momma is the ultimate mom to Logan and it shows in how much he loves to hug and kiss her... and Dad too! Dad is a huge Pittsburg Steeler fan and already has Logan on the bandwagon too! This fun little family made this session a breeze. Will post the full session in a gallery on nwphotoworks.com shortly. Until then enjoy this sneak peek!

{Anxious} 2nd Sneak Peek

No point in giving Peyton a hard time about his lack of patience. I already did that on my personal blog. I totally get why he is. I too would want to see what I have coming to me. He and Alicia have been anxiously waiting to see more shots of their adorable London so before I pop the disc. of their session in the mail I wanted to tease them with a 2nd sneak peek. I hope you guys enjoy them. All your shots were great!

Mrs. and Mr.

Prepare yourselves! This is by far the most images I have ever posted to one blog post! How could I not though?

Meet Bennette and Jocelyn Whitsell, formally Jocelyn Brown. Jocelyn is a close friend of Jeremy and mine and a fellow photographer so that would explain the massive amounts of photography you see below. It was an honor to be Jocelyn and Bennette's photographer for their big day. It is a complement that she accepted my request (I really threw myself at her) to let me shoot her wedding. I wanted to give her a gift that would last forever because Ryan, Jocelyn's twin brother has given Jeremy the gift of a best friend for almost a lifetime.

So the wedding... It was like a wonderland! Simple, natural, nothing forced about it. The theme, well sweet summer is how I would describe it. Wood fired pizza, mason jars, jam, bold patterns and colors, string lights, pompoms, beverages, lemons, more beverages, dancing all night and on and on. Jocelyn is by far one of the most creative people I know so no wonder her wedding was perfectly thought through and executed just the way she envisioned it!

Congrats to the two of you. The wedding was wonderful, the wedding party was a blast, the celebration was even better! Enjoy your sneak peek. It may take a year to get through all the editing but you will get your images. I promise!!!

Whitsell Wedding Day Details

Martha doesn't have anything on Jocelyn. This bride pulled out all the stops and did most all the work herself and definetly saw and created her vision successfully! From homemade jam as a take home thank you to her guests, to the linens with pattern and color so bold and so perfect. Oh, and the strings of lights, pompoms, drinks served in mason jars, to the most perfectly me (and I guess her because she too is a photog) Polaroid phootboth with funny hats, glasses and noses. Those Polaroids now have become her guest book. Adorable cupcakes instead of wedding cake... I could go on! The entire wedding was simply simple, tied together and so summertime sweet!

I Do... Again!

Meet Justin and Cassie Stolmeier and their adorable little one! Justin is a long time childhood friend of Jeremy's who I have not seen in at least 8 years. So when Justin sent me an email asking if I would be interested in helping him out by photographing a little event he and his wife had planned I reworked my schedule to make it happen.

Last week they celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. It was a cute little ceremony that was totally relaxed followed by a fun reception and pictures at Dry Soda down in Pioneer Square. Thanks you too for asking me to be a part of your day. It was fun!

Enjoy your sneak peek. More to follow in a few weeks. I am drowning in sessions to edit!
