I had the opportunity to photograph a very dear friend while home for my cousin’s graduation last month. Sue and I have been friends since grade school, and many years ago, she and her husband Brian were my very first engagement session clients. Well, they are expecting their first child, and I spent an hour or so with them in their home in Reedley, Ca. We got some very sweet, intimate shots of the two of them and her very beautiful pregnant belly. It is always a joy for me to do a pregnancy session, but an extra perk when it is such an old friend.
Sue and Brian will be bringing me back to California in August for the baby’s birth. I am thrilled and honored that I get to share in this with them. I also will get to spend some quality time with their baby… when I’m not taking his/her picture, I will be holding, feeding, or changing. A little practice goes a long way they say.
Congrats you two, and best wishes for a safe, healthy and fast delivery! 
I just have to say how happy I am that summer appears to have arrived here in the Seattle area. Sunny days makes for sunny dispositions, and let me say I have been looking forward to mine! Sunny days also means the ideal situations for outdoor photography. I am looking forward to two weddings in August, one at the Hollywood School House in Woodinville, and the other at the MeadowBrook Farm in Snoqualmie. They are going to be very different from eachother, which makes my job so fun and exciting.
My husband and I have been anxiously awaiting the time when we can go spend a small fortune at the garden department at Home Depot. We carved out and filled three new flowerbeds, and countless flower pots. I love having fresh flowers throughout the house, and being able to head out to my own yard to find them is so fulfilling. Enjoy the sun everyone!


I met with Erinn & Heath’s family for the first time at the end of May. They had just added a beautiful baby girl to their family, and I headed out to their home for a lifestyle portrait session. Big sister Emma filled me in on all of the details of having a new baby sister while I got all of my equipment together. She also introduced me to her best bud: Bun ( a sweet stuffed bunny ). The whole family did a great job, and they have some amazing black and whites to show for it. The light in the nursery was particularly soft and perfect for mom and baby. Thank you for allowing me to capture such an important time in your lives!

I had the opprotunity last weekend to photograph Aaron and Tonya’s wonderful family for the second time. And this time it included lovely Lyla. Tonya’s parents also came in from Oregon to get some great shots with their grandaughters. Although we did have clouds, the Kirkland waterfront is always a great place for pictures. Clara particulary liked the ducks, who particularly liked her animal crackers! Both girls also managed to dip their toes in the water, and we all had a great time.
Good job family!
Welcome to my very first entry of my very first blog. I have been looking for a way to connect with my clients: past, present, and future. And also to share my love of portrait photography with the world. I plan on blogging about each client, and including photos from each shoot. Check back regularly to see all that Summer Dawn Photography is up to. Thanks for visiting!
