FRIENDS | {2014 Monthly Projects}

A bit late with last month’s project, but as they say, “better late than never!” The theme was FRIENDS and it seems as though the lines sort of blur between this month’s theme of friends and last month of family! That is because often times, our close friends become family…sometimes I say they are the family we choose to share our lives with! Dear friends are priceless and to be cherished and I can’t imagine not having friends in our lives! They are there through “thick and thin” for the “good and bad” to “laugh and cry” with us and share in the great joys of our lives! As we go through our lives, our friends might change, depending on where we live, our circumstances and just what we need from friends…but those who are tried and true friends…at always there, through it all and never waver! My husband and I have moved around quite a bit, though have been settled for over 18 years now…and we’ve met so many wonderful people during our moves and are thankful for all our our friends…some we have lost touch with, others have remained as close as when we lived by them…and new friends are also a gift that we are excited to see where the friendship will lead. Some of our very best friends in town have become our Puyallup family and it’s wonderful to see our kids are also friends and we look forward to seeing our circle of friends….and family continue to grow as the years go by!

Jayden: Friends are fun to play with! Friends can help you when you need help with something. They can make you laugh and when you cry, they give you hugs and make you feel better. I love my friends and hope that I make many more friends as I grow up!

Lincoln is ONE & a BIG Brother | {Puyallup Children’s Photography}

A highlight of each year are the little ones that I am blessed to be able to photograph during the BABE’S FIRST YEAR plan that I have! It’s a joy to watch parents welcome a child to their lives and see them all grow into a beautiful family! This little guy, Lincoln, is very sweet and a gentle little boy who not only is lucky enough to have some incredibly loving parents, but as he was turning one, a new little one was about to join their family! Violet was welcomed  into this family shortly after Lincoln turned ONE…so we combined the session for Lincoln’s first birthday with Violet’s newborn photos…and this adorable little girl was just 4 days old…and what a doll! Dad and mom, Phillip and Shawna…are relaxed, loving and incredibly thankful parents..loving their beautiful children more than you can imagine and thankful for their good health!! I’ve said this before, but I love meeting new people, capturing some special photos and memories for them and most of all, making new friends through the process…how lucky am I!! Without further ado…here is Lincoln, Violet and their parents!!

My heart is warmed by seeing this family grow and what a joy to see how sweet and loving Lincoln is with Violet…I am sure they will be wonderful friends and I have no doubt that Violet will hold her own with her big brother as time goes on! I can’t wait to watch them over this next year and see these little ones as they begin to see just how amazing it is to have a sibling…that loves you unconditionally! Phillip and Shawna, you have such beautiful children – they are so lucky to have you two for parents! Thank you for trusting me with capturing such special memories in your lives!!
