Snip-Its Launch Photos | BELLEVUE, WA

When we moved here last year one of my first local clients asked me to take photos and video for the opening of their wonderful business, Snip-Its! ✂️ 

They provide families with a fun, kid-focused experience that includes super stylish haircuts for kids, educational games to play while the stylists work, and they even have birthday parties where the kids get to dress up! My only complaint is that they don't have adult sized princess dresses! 😂

FAMILY PHOTOS IN GOLDEN LIGHT (MY FAVORITE!)

Not that long ago, I worked crazy hours in the video game industry with lots of talented people including this smarty, Lou. We made a ridiculous amount of videos for Skylanders fans with Lou as the silly and wonderful host, and we played with a lot of toys. 😬 

Hooray for work friends who turn into real friends, and then make amazing kid friends. How CUTE is this family?!!

IT'S BABY TIME!

My wife and I are only ONE DAY away from our baby's due date and things have been crazy and exciting. Besides nesting like mad and taking care of the amazing pregnant Mama, getting the business going in Seattle and teaching kiddos, I haven't had time or energy for much else. 

Thank goodness for the creative and smart designer Lindsay Goldner, who worked with my crazy brain to create a playful and bright brand refresh for the big move from LA to Washington and built a beautiful new site to go with it! I'm so happy to be bringing playfully easy photography to kids and families in Seattle, and soon my cute baby photo assistant will be here to help! 
 

SOME HAPPY NEWS FOR YOU...

After just a few months of tests, doctors appointments, and anticipation, we got the fantastic news that my wife is PREGNANT!!!  How in the world parents don't burst with happiness and worry at the same time, I don't know- but I'm learning! Mama and baby are both doing great, and we are happy, happy, happy!  

Since we've both been collecting children's books for a long time, there's a good chance this kiddo is going to be very well read. The above are some of my very favorites. Also, how freakin' adorable are these teensy shoes!? Terrible purchase for how fast they grow, I know...we just couldn't help it!
