Week EIGHT of fifty-two | {joy}

A bit late in posting last week’s theme, but no need to worry, it’s finally here!! One thing (of many) that brings joy to my life is family and I know that at times we all take family for granted, but you just don’t know what is ahead, so we all need to remember to appreciate and soak up EVERY minute you have with family!! Be grateful for what time you have with them and don’t regret putting off what you can do today! As of now, we have one granddaughter, well, actually, two, but the second is about 2 months away from delivery, so she’s not here just quite yet, but we are SO very anxious for her arrival. Grandchildren are AMAZING gifts and bring so much JOY to those who are blessed with them and our granddaughter is truly a shining star in our lives. She always makes me smile, makes me forget about my troubles, makes me laugh and warms me up with love when I’m around here. On this afternoon, we went to “play” in the “winter weather” around here and as you can see, we had a great time and the temperature or precipitation didn’t matter a bit, we just had fun…and this is what JOY is to me…fun and happiness!!

Wishing each of you a wonderful week, filled with lots of JOY and love…and remember to take the time for those you love and care about…let them know just how much they mean to you….TODAY!!

Week SEVEN of Fifty-two | {a walk}

This past week my theme was “a walk” so I grabbed my camera as we headed out the door for an afternoon walk. It was a cloudy day, but dry and around here, on the dry days, you have to take advantage of them and get out! My hubby and I headed to Chambers Bay, which is in Tacoma and not only a golf course, but they have a restaurant, a venue for weddings and parties…and they have some amazing trails for walking, running, dog walking and more…it’s a great area for many activities! We had a great walk, enjoyed the views of Puget Sound, got some good exercise and appreciated the opportunity for some fresh air and quiet time while we appreciated the beauty of this part of the country!

From the top, the view of the property and the Puget Sound is amazing, even on a cloudy day…oh, I love living here!

undefined

The start of our walk…there was a bit of everything along the way!

undefinedundefined

I’m not a golfer, but most of my family is…so this isn’t very appealing to me…but what great views you would have on this course…and on a beautiful day here in the Pacific Northwest, I’m sure it would be even more amazing!undefinedundefined\

The photos above was the same scene as the one below, just a change of focus…can you see the fence grid below? Look closely!undefinedundefined

Once we made it to the top of the hill (close to where we started) a drink of water was very refreshing…I’d be certain to bring water with me on a warm day for a walk here!undefinedundefinedundefined

If you need to rest, there is something for you, or your pooch needs to relieve it’s self…there are bags to help pet owners keep it clean and “land mine free” for those on the trails…something for everyone!undefined

The end of a fabulous walk on this cloudy day…I must say it was a wonderful walk and I always enjoy getting out and soaking up some of the great beauty of the Pacific Northwest!

Brylee turns TWO | {Bremerton Family Photographer}

What a TREAT it was to see sweet little Brylee again…although I must say, she’s sure grown since I saw her a year ago! This darling turned two last month and I’ve had the pleasure of photographer her since she was born! Watching little ones grow into toddlers (and beyond) is the most amazing thing and to think that it’s part of my job…how lucky am I! Besides watching this beautiful little one grow up, I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her parents…they are the such delightful people and incredible parents…and I’ve loved creating the relationship we have over the past two years! Talk about a blessing…on the day we were going to do Brylee’s photos, the forecast was for SUN…yes, I said SUN…and if you are at all familiar with the Pacific Northwest in January, February (March and April for that matter)…sunshine is a rare thing, especially when it comes with some mild temperatures and this day we had both…it was 60 degrees! Holy smokes, that doesn’t happen often, and we were all so happy…and welcomed the opportunity to get Brylee outside for some photos…it was so much fun! Bubbles and her new bike were the highlight of our time outside, oh, as well as a bit of “yard work” that she was working on, pulling a bit of grass and some of the dormant plants that were in the beds…Brylee enjoyed the outdoors as much as the rest of us! I’ll tell you, this beauty grabbed my heart as well as my husband’s when we were there, she was so sweet and wanted to make sure we were included in everything she did and we got the biggest hugs when we left…oh, that’s the best bonus ever from a session!!

Brylee showed us how she likes to dance with her Dora doll…this girl has got great moves!!undefined

There isn’t much sweeter than a little girl and her daddy…love this photo of them…and you can see where she gets her beauty…from her mom!!undefined
undefinedundefined

The smiles just kept coming…she was amazing and such a great little “model” for her session…she just kept shining through the entire time! undefined

Her new bike, she’d just gotten and wow, she knew just what to do on this, she took right off pedaling….what a pro!undefined

Brylee was also great with the bubbles and even shared once in a while with her parents! And, like any girl, she wanted to check out the photos…so she got a sneak peek from the back of the camera!!undefined

Such a happy little girl, smiling and chattering away through the whole session!

undefinedundefinedWhat a delightful family…and the exciting part is that in July, they will be adding to their family! I’m so excited for them and CAN’T wait to meet the newest family member…I know that Brylee with be a great big sister!!
undefined

She was quite the hostess…and offered both my husband and myself tea as well as little cakes and even gave us refills…SO much fun!!undefined

undefined

This beautiful and precious smile says it all…she is a very happy and fun two year-old who made my job SO much fun on this beautiful winter afternoon! Thank you, Brylee, Rick and Jessica…you are all awesome!
