Dinner is cooking, the kids are cleaning their rooms, the dog is looking for something to steal, it’s totally dark outside and it’s raining. Hello November in Washington. And hello daylight savings.

I’ve been sitting on these for a while.  It’s time.  This family is expecting baby #2.  This shoot was CLASSIC.  Sweet K will never remember all our antics – and we (me, Brie, and Mark) will never forget.  Congratulations to one of the kindest, most awesome families ever!
