this summer it has been a goal of mine to get pictures taken of our family. i always get to capture photos of others and usually it is next to impossible to do the same for my family. i can’t take the picture so i decided to have someone else to it for me! we were heading to seattle this summer to visit our friends so why not have a photographer in seattle do them! and i had the perfect photographer in mind…sarah rhoads. we loved taking photos and i am sure that this is the start of many. the last time we were all in a photo together was when stella was born and when she was 7 days old. long time ago! leave a comment to let me know what you think of them! i am going to get a really big one made and will need your help choosing….there are more to come.

I love these. My favs and pic for the big photo are: big blue sky, you and your husband in the back ground and stella running into the forfront. Also the silhouette is amazing….I’m thinking huge gallery wrap!
All in all I love them all!

Oh I love these!!!! Brooke - you look hot!!! My faves are the triple series of you, the sunset one of the family, and the one of you and Stella together. I just decided to do this too - our family shoot is in 2 weeks.

Priceless! Beautiful images Brooke. You must be so happy with the results. They are all gorgeous … it’s gonna be hard to decide for the gallery wrap. I’m thinking any of the ones on the hill…. The color will look amazing on your white walls!
