Seattle Family Photographer {Grant + Shala + Caleb}

As promised here is round 2 of Grant and Shala's engagement session. I was very excited when Shala suggested bringing her son Caleb along to take some "family" photos as well. After all, Caleb is definitely a huge part of Shala's life and including him was a no-brainier. These three are about to become a family.

This is very typical for February days in Seattle, I guess I just always hope for a glimpse... and I was so thrilled when it popped it's head out. The soft low light of mid-winter is so nice. The wind may have been fierce and cold but it was sure nice to have a bit of sun.

See what I mean about the light! The sun just peeking through those heavy clouds. I LOVE it.

Oh my word...too cute!seattle family photographerseattle family photographerSeattle Family Photographerseattle family photographerseattle family photographerThis photo was captured purely by chance. While taking photos of just Grant & Shala, Caleb ran towards me with his little tongue hanging out. It was a lucky one!

Thank you Grant, Shala, and Caleb it what a fun day!

 

 

 

Seattle Engagement Photographer {Grant + Shala)

Grant + Shala are such a sweet couple. I enjoyed meeting with them this past Sunday at Brackett's Landing park in Edmonds, Washington.  Notice how often they exchange soft kisses and how loving their embrace's are. Couples with this great chemistry are a photographers dream.

Shala and Grant are engaged to be wed this June.

I love the soft light, the green from the terminal behind, and those clouds!Rachael Kruse PhotographyRachael Kruse Photography

These two were really great sports. The day was freezing and the winds were cold. You wouldn't be able to tell with these smiles.
