I’ve lived all of my life in Washington, less college, and I’ve never seen it rain like it has in the last few months. It probably wouldn’t matter to me all that much, except I’m a photographer that likes to shoot outside.
To honor the patriarch of the family, we set up a family shoot with the Holmes family. Saturday was fast approaching, and the rain was stalking our weekend. The only other day I prayed so hard for it not to rain was my own outdoor wedding. Saturday I woke up to the sound of down pour. My heart sank. I drove to Kirkland in the rain, with no sign of it letting up. I pulled up to the park, and suddenly, the clouds parted! It was like my prayers had been stuck in the clouds and finally made their way through! The one hour without rain that day was the hour of our family shoot.
And look at this handsome man! Well worth the rain stopping for…
Thank you all for such a fun day! It was great working with you!





Man, everyone of the shots are great, but I love the grandpa with his boys the best. :0)
