The “J’s”

Saturday morning it was a tad cool and slight sprinkling, but not enough to hold up another session! This morning I was meeting the Joyce family…Jeremy, Jennifer and Joshua! They arrived at our planned location, ready to go and although Joshua, three, wasn’t sure he was going to like this and seemed to think he didn’t want to smile, I managed to get some pretty cute smiles from him! Of course, being “three” means you do what you want when you want…which is challenging for me, but as I’ve said before, I always love challenges! My husband is GREAT at entertaining the kids and today he didn’t let me downn(he never does). And although by the end of the session we were all a bit cold…it was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the family and hope they will like the shots I got!




“All in the Family”

Last Sunday afternoon I met up with the extended Perry family at Wright Park in Tacoma. The weather had been playing games all day and at times it was very wet and windy, but we were fortunate that it all let up for the time we were there. A few sprinkles, but nothing that stopped up from capturing some special memories for this family. Ken is the man responsible for this group (along with is deceased wife, Ruth)…and it was my pleasure to photograph them this afternoon. These days with the busy lives that families have, it’s important to make the time for moments like this…and I hope they will all cherish these photos for years to come!







Great afternoon…

As I mentioned in my previous entry, I started last Saturday with a sweet little one year old, Addyson…and my afternoon went to the opposite end of the alphabet…to Zac…a really neat kid who is in his senior year at Emerald Ridge in Puyallup. It was really nice to meet Zac…he was fun and easy to work with! We had a few locations and although it had warmed up some from the morning, it still wasn’t that warm…I think it topped out at 47 degrees that day…still a tad cool!! Zac didn’t complain about the locations and was easy to photograph…he knew how to mix up the smiles with the serious looks and made my job even easier! He brought along his parents and with my husband as my “very able bodied assistant” we all had a good afternoon in Tacoma! Here are some from the session…but there are a ton more…hope you enjoy them!







Stacey and Ike…thank you for the pizza and beer at the end of the day…it was great to visit – and warm up!!
