More with Kelli… {Tacoma Portrait Photographer}

On Saturday when I met up with Kelli and her mom in Seattle, Kelli was disappointed that there wasn’t any graffiti around the area (there had been a wall, but it’s since been painted over)…so I mentioned that there was some great graffiti in Tacoma, if she was willing to come down that way? She didn’t hesitate a bit and said WHEN can I come! We arranged for yesterday (Tuesday) morning to meet up and take some more photos…and this time she brought along her sister, Lindsay. Perfect…a sister to help out, suggest some things and also to include in the photos! These girls were so much fun… we laughed a lot and it was obvious, that despite probably not always liking one another…they are great friends…so refreshing to see this!! And, we were quite lucky with the weather…it was overcast, but bright and no rain…although by the time I got home, it was pouring…someone was looking out for us!
So, here are some more of Kelli’s photos…as well as Lindsay…good luck to Kelli in figuring out what you want…it’s going to be tough!
Kelli is currently enrolled in Running Start with plans to become a nurse in the future…what a great goal…I see a bright future for her!

Kelli and Seattle…what a GREAT morning…perfect combination!

The time is near…the end of high school and on to a new chapter in her life…Kelli is about to embark on an exciting time of her life…college and the future! She’s a beautiful young woman who was fun and sweet during our session on Saturday morning. We met at Seattle Center and it couldn’t have been a nicer morning…talk about a perfect late spring day…that was certainly a sign that this would be a great session. Kelli and her mom were a delight during the session…and getting to know a bright young “soon to be graduate” was one of the highlights of my morning! Of course, spending a couple of hours in Seattle Center was a joy as well…I just love that place, so much to see, so many places to photograph…how could one not enjoy their time there?!? Here are some previews from the session…enjoy and for Kelli-know that more are to come soon….

Wow…those eye are amazing…how can one resist such beauty! Along with those beautiful eyes…she has a great spirit about her that is definitely a sign of character!
I love people who are up to a challenge or should I say someone with a bit of adventure in them…well, Kelli is just one of those people…when I saw this bright ORANGE graphic on the ground…with what Kelly was wearing…how could I resist asking if she’d get be willing to stand in it…but as you can see, there was a sign that sort of suggested we might not want to go inside of the yellow caution tape…but Kelli was up for it…and don’t worry, I checked, it was dry…so no worries, there aren’t any orange flip flop prints around Seattle Center…at least from us!!
With a smile like this…how can one not enjoy a session with a beautiful senior!

Beautiful Brylee…

Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting baby Brylee again (see newborn posting http://blog.terribeloitphotography.com/2010/01/beautiful-blessing.html) who is not quite four months old. Wow, it’s so exciting to see the changes…she’s doubled her weight and is as beautiful and precious as she was when I first met her. This day it was just Brylee and her mom…dad was working and her (four-legged) brother was outside…although he wasn’t very happy with that…he would have really liked to be a part of this session, I’m sure! It was so much fun to see what she was doing now and the smiles just light up her face…and when we got a really big smile, her dimples would show…with babies, it doesn’t get much better than that. I’ve been blessed with some little ones this week for sessions and I must say, it’s the BEST…nothing is better.

Today is Mother’s Day and it’s Brylee’s mom’s, Jessica, first mother’s day so I really wanted to get this posting ready for her on this special day…the first of many she will have. It also has another special significance as Brylee will be dedicated at their church today…what an incredible gift to her mom (and we can’t forget dad!)…to have this take place on her first mother’s day! So, Happy Mother’s Day, Jessica…enjoy the photos and there will be more to come!

As you can see, modeling for a little one is tough work…we wore poor little Bylee out and she fell soundly asleep in her mother’s arms…this is one of those priceless moments!
I can’t wait to return in a few months to see how Brylee has grown even more…and between now and then, I’m sure her parents will enjoy each and every little moment with her!
