Alexis is a stunning young aspiring model who contacted us for a shoot, and I’m so glad she did. I let her know the style and direction I wanted to go in and she was so easy to work with on it!
I am not one of those people who go around saying “you look like so-and-so, that one actress”, but this girl is such a Mandy Moore look-alike at certain angles (check out the 14th picture down), and wow did she shoot well. We are particularly fond of the beach shots…let us know your favorites! //Ali
We’ve been mighty busy over here the last few weeks, some of us more than others. Ali has been deep in the trenches working on four (huge!) paintings she’ll be showing tomorrow (!!!!) at the 4th Annual Isis: Women Arts Festival in Ballard. The show is 7-10 pm on Saturday and they’ll be hanging through the weekend. If you’re in the area you should totally come hang with us tomorrow night.

This week, we had a lounge-y morning where I made crepes and coffee to surprise Josh with breakfast in bed! Crepes are great because you can put pretty much anything you want into them after seeing what you have in your pantry/fridge, and they taste awe-some. I like sweet crepes better than savory for breakfast, but savory crepes can be really yummy for lunch and dinner. Here are some combinations we tried:

Yesterday was dreaded tax day (yuck), but it was also filled with business goals (and other secret plans) for the future. We are super excited and just so thankful for how this dream has grown. Our clients are entirely to thank… there is no way to explain how amazing you all are!
Here are a few recent shots of us hard at work that we thought would be fun to share. You can see more images of us shooting, here and here. For previews of these engagement sessions, go here and here. //Josh + Ali

Erin and Naomi visited Seattle from Nebraska for their engagement session (and made a vacation of it). We had a blast hanging out with them for the day, strolling the Seattle Public Library and downtown area, and grabbing coffee. Naomi is a librarian, so this beautiful location was perfect! We can’t wait to share the rest, and we are already looking forward to their July wedding in Nebraska. //Josh + Ali

Spring has been peeking it’s head out in Seattle this week. Where we live, things get a little bit crazy when the sun appears (everyone comes down to Alki and it’s a little…overwhelming). We enjoyed the sun, longboard rides, drinks with friends, and lots of beach walks filled with coffee and treats. When things went back to the normal Seattle gloom we were kind of happy about having the beach to ourselves again. Ali is getting ready for an art show she will be hanging in at the end of the month, and we are busy editing and making big plans for JayLee (we will share soon). We hope you all got to enjoy some of the sun too! //Josh + Ali

You already have to worry about finding the perfect dress and coordinating bridesmaids and/or groomsmen. There are many other events and festivities leading up to -and during- the week of your wedding. We had people come in from out of town for the week leading up to the wedding and stayed in a hotel, so it was helpful to get outfits ready ahead of time. From the engagement party to dress fittings to the days you play tourist guide for visiting family, and finally to the honeymoon, here are some Spring-Summer inspired looks for the bride-to-be. We will share more looks for the guys, mother-in-laws, and guests soon! //Ali

Okay…so we may have pre-teased on Facebook, but we couldn’t resist sharing two more frames from this session. These two took our advice to heart, and chose three unique-to-them locations. We can’t wait to share the rest! //Josh + Ali
