Professional photo shoot

Our dear friend and ridiculously talented Seattle-based photographer, Sarah Jurado, shot the three of us in Lincoln Park in West Seattle yesterday. Eli was at his crankiest, but she managed to capture us beautifully between crying bouts. She's amazing!

Prints can be ordered from this site.
