Not even 24 hours old! - Baby Linden

I got to take pictures of baby Linden Kate Agnew yesterday at the hospital. She wasn't even 24 hours old yet!!

   It was so precious to see her big sister Emery interact with her. More photos to come soon, but this one seems to be a favorite so far!

Family maternity shoot at Mukilteo beach on a sunny morning

  It was one of our first really warm sunny days in Washington and I had the privilege of meeting a long time friend of mine and her family at Mukilteo beach for a family maternity photo shoot. There were seals in the ocean and ferry boats going by in the background. I can't wait to meet their new baby girl in May!

Emery would get tired of having her photos taken so we had to take a few breaks and push her on the swings. 

The Bean, Willis (Sears) Tower, and deep dish pizza

For work I traveled to Chicago in February. I took our sales reps out to dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant and walked the Chicago gift show. The next day I had a couple of hours before my flight left so I did a little sightseeing. There were four main things that I wanted to try to squeeze in: go to Navy Pier and see Lake Michigan, see "the bean" sculpture, eat Chicago style deep dish pizza and go to the top of the Willis Tower (formally the Sears Tower). I walked long and fast, and managed to do them all!

Here is Navy Pier:

Lake Michigan

Here is the Chicago river:

The famous Bean!

Willis tower - was once the tallest building in the world. 

Here I am at the top of the Willis tower on the sky deck. They have 4 decks that are all glass that you can walk out on and see the city below you. It is so high up that the cars below look like ants.

You can tell by my smile that I am a little timid.

106 floors!

I went to Pizanos for deep dish pizza. I think I like NY style better. There was too much crust for me. 

Floating houses on Lake Union

There are 505 floating houses on Lake Union in Seattle WA. (I learned that on the Ride the Duck tour in Seattle one day.) I loved the colors of these ones that are right down the street from my office. 

Spring blossoms!

Baby Vera, beautiful big brown eyes!

I had the opportunity recently to take photos of baby Vera. She was so alert and awake for the whole photo shoot. I loved the adorable headband that her mom brought for her to wear!

All the little things to remember:

 Oscar the dog has been feeling pretty left out lately, so we had to make sure we got him in a couple photos. He was surprisingly good at looking at the camera!
