Bellingham Washington Wedding and Portrait Photographer Courtney Bowlden

This was a fun engagement session. Dan and Charel love to laugh and joke with each other, which made it incredibly easy to photograph them. Dan grew up in Seattle and showed me around the town a bit. I love the city and all the gorgeous views. Not to mention, it makes for a great backdrop! We got so lucky with the weather too! It actually started getting a bit warm (and my truck which I drove home didnt have A/C). Thanks for hanging in there with me, guys! I cant wait for July! Your wedding is going to be a blast!

Kylee is my very dear friend from many years ago. We lost touch for a while after I moved in my High School years, but connected again on Facebook. She hasnt changed a bit and remains the sweetest person ever. She’s so kind and loving, and not to mention she sets such a great example to everyone around her. I was more than happy to capture her and her beautiful family at Pike’s Place in Seattle (one of my favorite places!). Isnt her son the cutest?!

My friend Katy just got a new niece. She told me before I went over that her name was Harper and she was small, but when I saw her, boy, was she SMALL! She’s a week old and only weighs 5 pounds 8 ounces. She is so adorable and so sweet! We were having a hard time getting her to go to sleep. Even after 2 hours there and 2 nursings, she still was wide awake. Harper was such a trooper though. I had such a pleasure being able to snuggle and love on her and capture her sweet little self on camera. What a joy! Congrats on the new baby Natasha and Josh on your sweet little girl!

This one (above) is probably my favorite out of all of them. My sister hates when I put bows bigger than the babies head on, but I cant help it! I think its just so cute!!!

Harper’s big brother, Heath, is the cutest little boy! He has the most gorgeous big brown eyes. We took some pictures of him holding her and he was so gentle and sweet with her. He was kissing her without us asking him to.
