B + G // Pike Place Market
Brittany and Gerrit share a love of music. "He told me that my hair looked like Karen O's," Brittany told me while recalling when they first met. (Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs happened to be one of her favorite artists.) He writes live show reviews and she takes photos for KEXP. When it came time to decide a location for our portrait session Brittany suggested Pike Place Market and stopping around their favorite spots. We ran around in the rain through alley ways, Gerrit shared a secret spots that he showed her at the beginning of their relationship, and we took cover inside near a little tchotchke shop that they visit often.
The Antoniello Family // Carkeek Park
"Family hug!" Maisie called out, and as Darren pulled them all in close together Liam let out an excited giggle. It has been such a joy watching these two grow into parenthood and love on their little guy. I'm positive that the Family Hug I documented is only one of so many thousands that Liam has experienced during his first year of life. I was also thrilled that my furry pal Portland was also able to come out to their mini family session in the park. This is photographic proof that yes, you can have a family session with a one year old and a dog!
