I was incredibly honored when Nikki asked me to do her family portraits, a gift for her mother’s 60th birthday.\u00a0 I met Nikki when she was my student teacher, & for a year, we shared three beginning & two advanced high school photography classes.\u00a0 Nikki’s presence brought sanity & humor to my day–always beginning with the Mountain Dew she would be drinking before 9 AM.\u00a0 She & her husband Dave officially spell their last name with an “!”.\u00a0 They are two of the wittiest, most exuberant, most prolifically creative people I will ever know–and they are a perfect match.\u00a0 When I asked her about her family, so I could plan the shoot, she described them as “Pacific Northwest people” who were lovers of board games & the Mariners<\/strong>.\u00a0 She also wrote, “We tend to be a bit goofy. Shocking, I know.”<\/strong> I couldn’t wait to meet them & do their portraits!<\/p>\n

So, I scoured nearby places for a Washington State kind of feel, & we ended up with an easy-going, down-to-earth, just a little bit goofy, super fun, outdoors session.\u00a0 Her parents were so warm & friendly, & so clearly, affectionately, romantically still in love after decades of marriage–such a inspiration.\u00a0 And Nikki’s brother Jesse and his fianc\u00e9e Pari are in the midst of wedding planning–so exciting!\u00a0 I had a great time–and I think they all did too…<\/p>\n
