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!

Beautiful Girls, Wonderful Products

I have the pleasure of working with a couple of talented gals who are not only moms (a tough job in itself), but also running a home business between the two of them…and this is called Kiwi and Kiki (http://www.kiwiandkiki.com/). Kerry and Kristin are sisters and have some really fun products and it’s obvious they are quite talented. We sort of “met” last summer when I purchased a couple of items from them, one being a great tutu that I have used a few times with my little girls! These gals remembered me when I returned to look at more of their creations and I told them I’d share some photos…and from that…a working relationship evolved! We’ve used their adorable daughters the past couple of sessions and I must say, they are AWESOME models and so much fun. Here are a few examples of what we got last week…be sure to go check out their website…and I promise you, you’ll love their stuff!

Beautiful little Lily turned FOUR the day after this session…she’s going to break hearts when she gets older!!
Lily is Abby’s big sister…and she’s very caring and attentive.
Maddie…oh, my she’s such a sweet heart and those eyes, WOW…she’s definitely a charmer!
And this is Abby…or is it Abner…I’ll never tell!! :~)

Yet another CUTE one year old!

Boy, am I blessed, or what…two one year old girls in two days…it doesn’t get much better. Not that I don’t like boys, I love the boys as well, but it’s been so much fun with the girls the past two days…and what cuties they both are!

This morning I photographed Erica for her one year photos (she’s a little over a year) and have been waiting for her to turn one since she was born…I was fortunate to be able to do her mom’s maternity photos, then some newborn ones and a few here and there, throughout the past year…and now, this little one is getting bigger and a year old…it hardly seems possible! Erica brought her mom and big sister, Alanna, with her and we started out with some photos of Erica and Alanna before we lost Alanna to playing with my granddaughter (Jayden) since they so enjoy each others company when they are together. After that, the spotlight was on Erica and she was great…I absolutely love her adorable little faces she makes, it’s so darn cute and I confess, I’m even including a photo of her crying because I just love the expression…but she really didn’t cry much, just when we stopped her from what SHE wanted to do. One year olds are great…so cute, sweet and yet beginning to develop their own “independence” and mind of their own…what a wonderful transformation from baby to toddler…I’m truly blessed to be able to photograph these little ones! Enjoy the photos!!!







Okay, so this is the last blog of my sessions for a while…I’m headed out of town in a few days and off for a fun vacation with family over Christmas (more on that later)…I might update before the holidays, but if not, I want to wish everyone of you an wonderful Christmas that is filled with love and joy and time with those you love…because that is really what it’s all about, isn’t it!
