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!

That smile was great…so natural and relaxed…I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Derek during his session!Mom, aka, Mary, is obviously a wonderful person with such a neat son…I was happy to have a chance to talk with her and enjoyed hearing about her family!!Derek’s girlfriend, Nichole, joined us for some photos as well…wow, a beautiful and bright young lady…and the two of them are a such a great looking couple!
How could I resist not grabbing a couple of photos of Nichole…such a natural beauty with amazing skin and a smile that sparkles!Derek…I wish the very best for you and your future…good luck with your choice of colleges and have fun during your last couple of months of high school…these are times that you will look back on with great memories down the road!!

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!

Abbie and Chris…I can’t wait to hear about your little one’s arrival and look forward to seeing you two soon after and meeting your daughter…best of luck for an easy delivery…and on time, Abbie!!

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!

Emma loves playing with her “friends” and on this day, she decided they were going to visit the window sill!Although Jayden and Emma are cousins, they are also friends and it’s heartwarming to see how close they are!!!During a snowy morning walk through the park, we enjoyed watching the ducks with their friends in the snow and floating on the pond!Friends for over 18 years…definitely something to be treasured!Emma and Malibu are great buddies – of course, Malibu is always encouraged to hang around Emma when she’s eating!!

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!

That’s it for February…and now we are already working on our March theme…stay tuned, we’ll try to be more on time with the posting! Wishing you all a great start to spring and we’ll be back soon with new photos for a new theme!!
