Did you know Thomas the Train goes on tour? Well he does, and he comes to the small town right next to ours, Snoqualmie, WA.  At first I didn't have much interest taking my two year old, I really didn't think he would get it.  We have Thomas the Train books and have read them many many times, which he loves, but an actual event, I thought would just be a bit overwhelming and crowded for him.  He has this way of tugging at my heart strings though.  We saw Thomas go past one day while we were out in town, My husband got out with C and they waved to all the passengers on the trains.  He was sold.  Absolutely sold.  All I heard about for a week straight was how much he wanted to ride the train.  So here I am, hiring a babysitter for my youngest and taking C to ride Thomas.  

Day out with Thomas Fair

There were so many activities to enjoy, bouncy houses, pictures with Thomas, train tables GALORE, a fake tattoo tent, a gift shop, and all the food you could imagine.  We walked around and explored everything they had to offer.  It is held at the Northwest Train Museum in Snoqualmie, WA so there are a lot of old trains to look at and explore.  C had a blast.  Of course I had a blast too, a mommy and C date, watching the joy on his face, and documenting it all.  Not to mention the view from the train, I had no idea it was so pretty! I highly recommend checking it out during the summer while it is running.

I was searching for a lavender field the other day because I knew I wanted to do some photos there.  I found one, just 15 minutes away from my house, perfect! I called up my senior models and my kiddos and off we went to the lavender field.  My two year old was having so much fun smelling all the lavender that I could get him to stop for a photo, not even semi looking towards me, ha! oh well.  Sarah and Ana were awesome and they helped chase him down when they weren't having their photo taken.  

Senior Model Team

Having a senior model team is fun for everyone.  They get to participate in several photoshoots throughout their senior year of high school and earn money towards their senior photos.  I have girls I can call on a whim to go scout a location with me.  It is a win win for all of us...and the fact that my kiddos love hanging out with them when I want to get photos of them as well is even better!  

SnoFalls Lavender Field

This U Pick Lavender field is awesome.  It smells so good and the lavender is just gorgeous.  They are so friendly and welcoming it made a great place for a photoshoot.  I know the Lavender won't be there much longer so if you want your senior photos to incorporate the lavender field call me today!  Check out some of our photos from this session below!

And now a couple of my little, because, why not!
