Ballard & Golden Gardens Sweetheart Session | Heidi + Shawn

I’ve known Heidi since she started cutting and coloring my hair before our wedding two years ago. I loved her personality so much (not to mention, she does a mean job on hair!) that I foisted Justin on her too, and we’ve both been her clients for a long time. Heidi moved in with Shawn and his sweet puppy, Kody, this year, and I was thrilled when she contacted me to tell me she wanted to schedule a Sweetheart Session with him. We decided on Old Town Ballard and Golden Gardens beach for the session because they were close to her heart– before she moved in with Shawn, Heidi lived in Ballard.

These two were just impossibly cute and had incomparable positive energy. We had a blast roaming around with them looking for unique places to take a few shots… we started the evening at Matador for margarita’s and ended windblown and freezing on the beach after the sun went down, thoroughly exhausted and feeling it was well worth it.

Thanks for a great time, guys! I wish you all the best and I hope to have the chance to be your photographer again soon. Ahem. If you know what I mean.;)

Joey Nicole - Hi Kat… Love the locations you chose for these shots!!! The grungy urban ones are my favorite, but of course you can never go wrong at the beach as well :)

kim hayes - SO cute!! I love all of these, Kat! They are so adorable together… (and, Heidi is the best hair-doer of all time!!)

LeiLani @ Elle Golden Photography - I love that you took the risk to shoot them on the beach with their pup. That second to last shot is SO perfect!

Bristol Wedding Photographer - I like the dog! :)
