A great time at the park!

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of shooting an darling four year old (almost 5 year old!) at a near by park. To start out, the weather was SO nice, it’s almost hard to believe for this time of year around the Pacific Northwest! It was sunny, clear and in the mid 70’s – almost unheard of for here at the end of May. The joke, but truth is that summer starts on July 5th…and most years that is the case, but so far, we’ve had a few nice weeks and I’m crossing my fingers that this perfect weather holds! Alanna, is quite the charmer with a smile that lights up her face…we had a great time at the park as we wandered around the pond and even were lucky enough to see some baby ducks with their mom…they are so darned cute! Alanna was quite the little model and seemed to enjoy our outing as much as I did. I also took some photos of she and her baby sister, Erica, at the end. I had the pleasure of doing some baby pictures of Erica earlier this year…my how she has grown! What a fun afternoon…on a perfect day! Thank you, Alanna!


Finally…some nice weather!


Not sure about everyone else, but I have been ready for some nicer weather and finally we have some sunshine (for more than an hour at a time!) and some warmer temperatures….and it’s WONDERFUL! Of course, this makes it easier to plan outdoor photography sessions and not have to worry about rescheduling. It’s the perfect time to think about family photos…or maybe it’s time for get new pictures of the kiddos! With Father’s day quickly approaching…wouldn’t it make a great gift for dads or grandfather’s…or just a nice addition to your family photos! Call or email to book something for the next few months, before the summer gets busy and while there are times available.

Here are a few photos of one of my very favorite subjects…my granddaughter, Jayden, who is about 3 1/2 and needless to say, she is pretty familiar with the camera…since I’m always photographing her!

Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and are able to get outdoors and spend time with family and friends…and enjoy the great weather (I hope you all have it!).



"LOVE" is in the AIR!

What a joy this young couple was to photograph! Danielle and Garrett are such sweet people and we had a great time during the session. The weather was perfect…which was a surprise since the night before we had a terrible storm and we weren’t sure what Sunday would bring. We had a mix of clouds and sun…and a quiet morning in Tacoma. The wedding is schedule for October in Maui, Hawaii…and I’m really looking forward to sharing that special day with them! Here are some “sneak peeks” from our session!
