Evan & Jack…Brothers | {Puyallup Children’s Photography)

It was a real treat last month to see these two brothers who were visiting from Florida and to have the chance to schedule a session with them while they were in town. I’ve known their mother since she was in junior high with our son and now seeing her handsome boys is a reminder of how life just gets better with the years! Although this family has not lived in our area since the boys joined the family…I have had the opportunity to photograph them a few times and it’s always a delight…and watching them grow is so much fun! Evan is the oldest, seven and starting the 2nd grade this month…he’s a bright and very athletic boy who is determined and confident! Jack, now three and in preschool has the sweetest smile and his eyes just sparkle…I love his sense of humor and all the great expressions he has…he had me laughing a lot during the session! They have returned to Florida and I will look forward to the next time they visit…or maybe a trip to Florida (and Disney World) might happen and I can capture the whole family…in their home state!


Isn’t this little guy a darling…he was a delight to spend time with…so sweet and loving!

Evan is ALL boy and even though he likes to be tough, he is quite caring and thoughtful…and very protective of his little brother!

Melt my heart…you can see the connection these brothers have…priceless

Didn’t I tell you that Jack had a lot of expressions…love the total innocence he has!

~HANDSOME~

How blessed are these boys parents!!

Baseball…currently one of Evan’s passions…but he’s talented in many different sports!I LOVE this photo….Oh my goodness…this boy is going to break some hearts…

A rare moment – Evan is usually in constant motion!

Such a pleasure to spend time with these boys and to be able to capture some special memories for their parents…can’t wait until the next time…to see them grow and change is the highlight of my job…which I absolutely LOVE!

AVA turns ONE | {Bremerton Children’s Photography}

MY OH MY…how I love watching my “babies” grow during their first year. And, this little one is the second in her family that I’ve been photographing since she was born…what a darling she is, as is her sister! Beautiful Ava turned one at the end of June and it was a little later than her birthday when we had her one year session scheduled. It was a delight to see how she’d grown as well as to see her big sister, Brylee, and their parents…this family has become friends over the years and I SO enjoy seeing them and catching up on what they’ve been up to! Ava wasn’t quite walking, but I would imagine she probably is by now…and her personality was TOO cute…I loved watching her, especially with her big sister! The dynamics between siblings is always interesting and I can see that Ava is certainly not going to be left behind and will whatever it takes to keep up with Brylee…she’s a determined and bright baby who knows just what she wants…I LOVE that about babies!!!

Brylee couldn’t wait to show me her new swing/playset in the back yard and boy, does she love it…and is not at all afraid of the slide…as you can see!!And she loves swinging as well and wanted to show me how well she swings and pumps her legs.Look at this BEAUTIFUL one year old…such pretty eyes and a smile that most certainly shines…
LOVED watching them with their little tea set…of course, Ava seemed to enjoy the “drop the cup” game more than “sipping” her tea…it was so cute!I”m sure that Ava is trying to tell me…ENOUGH, no more photos! Or maybe she’s reaching for the blue feather duster…LOL

Cupcake smash…she was a bit unsure to start off, but then seemed to enjoy creating a mess and showing us just all that she had done…one of my favorite parts of a one year session!


A little time “daddy time” which as you can see is priceless…melts my heart when I see photos like this…so sweet!

We didn’t want Brylee to feel left out, and since she’s 3 1/2, it was a great chance to capture some special photos of just her!!

LOVE this one on the right…the expression just cracks me up!!!

Oh, the giggles are about the BEST part of babies…and this little cutie was really flirting with my hubby…it was so stinking cute!!

LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE

I am in love with these photos…this family is so delightful, sweet and kind…and capturing some special memories for their family makes me realize this is JUST why I do what I do…I love capturing “life” for a family to cherish and share for a lifetime! Rick and Jessica…your girls are the sweetest, you know how much I love them and photographing them! Thank you for opening your home to us for each session…I can’t wait until the next time…Is it January yet?!!

ROSE…family…special | {Puyallup Family Photography}

DOUBLE the pleasure with this session…not only was Mary turning 5, but mom, Melinda, is set to deliver a new addition this summer and it was a perfect opportunity to capture some special photo of  baby Jonathan before he arrives! This new little addition is a long time in the making, and OH, so very loved already and I know he will complete this beautiful family! When Melinda contacted me about the session, I was beyond thrilled to hear that they were adding to their family as I knew they had been trying for a while. Mom was just glowing and looks SO very beautiful…what a delight for me to be able to capture and help them document this special time of their lives. And big sister, Mary, is really looking forward to Jonathan’s arrival…she’s planning to do everything for her little brother…which should give mom a chance to get some rest after he arrives!  I love the enthusiasm that she has and the pure joy of welcoming a new sibling to their family that Mary has! And, not let’s forget dad, Dave…who will finally have another male in the household to balance it all out! Oh, I can’t wait to capture the next family photos…after they’ve grown by two feet!

Isn’t mom GORGEOUS!!!

A quick shot of Mary in the studio before we headed to the park…what a doll!!!

Their own special garden…just for them…hehehe!Mary was SO much fun to photograph and she lead the way for the session…choosing where we would shoot and setting up the poses!! I love that she had her own vision for this!This beautiful blond streak is totally natural and it just adds to her beauty and unique personality…she is a lovely little girl!
The “apple” of her parent’s eyes…she is so excited to share that with her little brother when he arrives!She sure loves her daddy…and as you can see, he completely adores her…how can you not!!Mary and Melinda…two beautiful people…daughter and mom and both such delightful people!!!!The Rose Family…can’t wait to capture the next family photo when it’s just a little bit bigger!

Dave and Melinda…it was such a fun session with all of you and I’m VERY excited about Jon’s arrival this summer…I can only imagine how adorable he will be…with such beautiful parents and the cutest big sister!!
