It’s funny how online social networking sites have changed the world.  We “met” Gerald and Airika last year through Twitter and caught up in person at a photography conference.  They are the leaders of the Seattle Pictage User Group and we had been talking about us coming out to speak to their group since last fall.  We finally made it out on a little personal/business trip last week and thank you so much to the Seattle PUG for having us!  You guys were such a great group!  To Gerald and Airika – thank you so much for inviting us into your home and showing us around Seattle!  We had such a wonderful time and really enjoyed getting to know you guys better!

While were were in town, we did a few images for their new website and branding that will be launching soon.  These guys are as cute, genuine, and warm as they appear in pictures! — probably even more so!  Hope you enjoy them!

Thought this was too funny not to share. :0)  Seven doesn’t normally attend our photo sessions and from the look on his face, I’m thinking he prefers to stay home!

    Oh my goodness, I love these! It was so much fun getting “shot” by you guys. And of course, sharing our home and days with you was a real treat. You two are beautiful spirits, talented photographers, and we are so blessed to call you friends. Thank you.

    I love how Seven just goes along for the ride. And I really admire you make him fit to your schedule and not be those type of couples who just stop life because they have a good. You guys are awesome.
    Great pictures, by the way.

    These are great! The last one is my favorite…dramatic and peaceful at the same time! Now I want to visit the west coast again. And the picture of Seven…too funny!

    These are beautiful…and I LOVE that Seven went along with you guys! :) (I keep wondering if I could get away with the same ;) )

    Thanks you guys! They are a great couple for sure and it was certainly interesting having Seven along for the shoot! :0) Blair – I think you could get away with it on small shoots but I think your baby might look just as pleased as Seven does in that picture if you try! ;0)
