GREEN | {2014 Monthly Project}

GREEN…a color, which isn’t a primary color, but a mixture of blue and yellow, it’s complimentary to red. Green is a sign of growth and in the spring, it’s a welcome sight/color after a drab and colorless winter!! It can also be associated with being sick, envious and hope. Jayden and I picked green for our theme for a couple of reasons…because the grass finally starts to grow, bushes and trees start springing forward with green leaves and St. Patrick’s day is all about green…so it seemed like a perfect theme for the month. I had started out with some photos and was looking around for some unique and fun green ideas for this month…of course, that all changed when my husband and I went on vacation…to New Orleans! If you have ever been there, you would know that the city is FULL of color, LOTS of color and plenty of green, in about every shade you can imagine, so I abandoned all the other ideas I had for the theme and decided, that my “green” would all be from New Orleans (which by the was was one of the best vacations we’ve taken!!)…and there is about every shade you can imagine throughout these photos…so enjoy all the GREEN…and I hope you aren’t “green with envy” when you see all the great sights we saw there!! 😉

Jayden’s photos for March and our theme of green!! Green is a color, it’s pretty and sometimes it can be bright and sometimes it can be dark. Green makes up leaves, it’s the color of moss and it’s the color of St. Patrick’s Day when you will get pinched by friends if you don’t wear it!

Derek – PHS 2014 Senior | {Puyallup Senior Photography}

A break in the spring rains and even some sunshine brought a fun session with a great young man, who will be graduating in a couple of months from Puyallup High School! Derek, is not only a handsome young man, but has plans and dreams for his future! I had not met Derek, nor his mom, Mary, before the session, but what a treat it was to spend some time with them on a lovely spring day! As you will see, Derek has a nice smile and he was easy to talk with and had a wonderful sense of humor and was willing to do just about anything for the photos. I would look at a tree and he’d ask if I wanted him to climb it…he was just that kind of guy! It’s refreshing to see such a confident and polite teenager, with ideas of what his future holds for him and I have no doubts that Derek will go places, do great things and make a good life for himself! His immediate future holds the finishing of high school and soccer for his team this spring and next fall, he’s looking at Western or WSU…either would be a great choice and I’m sure he’ll pick the school that will fit his needs and goals for the future!

Abbie’s Expecting | {Puyallup Maternity Photographer}

What a neat couple I had the pleasure of meeting last month…Abbie and Chris are expecting their first child, a girl at the end of April! They are both excited and anxious to meet the new addition to their family…and after spending some time with them, I know this little girl is in for a treat…she’s going to have some GREAT parents!! Abbie’s session and a Babe’s First Year session were a shower gift and I’m so excited to get to know them better and even more excited to meet their little girl once she arrives! A beautiful and glowing mother to be, who looks fabulous, with a husband who adores her…I loved watching the connection between these two and capturing some special photos to share with their families and daughter once she enters the world!
