To have all seven of the cousins [on Papa & Grammy’s side] all to myself at the beach for a few hours made me a happy picture-taking-auntie! Special thanks to sis Amy for allowing me to dress her kids as I pleased, and to sis Elizabeth for doing some last minute shopping [OK, a lot of last minute shopping] to accommodate my wishes. I love the color scheme results, and the sweet faces on these cousins. [Shhhh . . . don’t tell Grammy. We printed a canvas for her upcoming August birthday gift!]
I was thrilled when her mommy emailed me with a photo inspiration she saw on Pinterest: little girl dressing up in her mama’s wedding gown. So sweet! We quickly scheduled a session and just had a blast posing this little beauty in Mom’s pretty bridal dress. This was also special because it was a celebration of Mom & Dad’s wedding anniversary. These were fun, joyful, and precious photos to capture. For many reasons, this family continues to bless me!
The weather is begging you to schedule your family session now! Just a final reminder that I only have a couple of openings left next week for this great summer special. I’m already thinking ahead and hoping to capture lots of Christmas card family photos at the beach, waterfront, other beautiful Gig Harbor summer locations next week. Join us!
We met at one of my favorite Tacoma locations for this session. Give me green grass, brick buildings, some class architectural beauty, and a darling family, and I’m a happy picture-taking-lady. Scheduling a family session over the beautiful Washington summer months provides some of the prettiness you see here. It’s a great time to update your family photos!
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)
remembering Kaera: Loved, sweet, beautiful little girl
and holding her family in my heart today.
Such a joyfully family, full of big love! Right away, I could tell that this gorgeous little boy was the apple of his parents’ eyes. They were fun, casual, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, and so very cool to work with. So glad we got to spend this time together, capturing meaningful forever memories . . . because this little guy will never be this age again . . .
She was uncertain when she booked this session. We usually photograph the whole family . . . focusing on the their three young children, and lucky if we get a group shot with Mom and Dad in it. This time, however, Mom had other ideas. She wanted to celebrate the love she shares with her husband. She wanted portraits of the two of them. Just the two of them. I’m so glad she booked the session! Don’t we all need love photos just like these?
Beautiful children. Lovely family. This momma gives the world’s best hugs. If you know her, you agree. Her heart shines through in her sweet sons’ smiles. This daddy is their hero. He is currently in Washington, DC leading the way on the Bill to Reauthorize the MD Care Act in the Senate, as they fight to end Duchenne. For more information: www.ParentProjectMD.org
I love this little boy for lots of special reasons, and am delighted to watch him grow up in this loving, fun, happy home. He is adored by Daddy & Mama, and is one of the most well-behaved youngsters you’d ever care to know. These family photographs were as joyful as they look – all fun. And, that backyard! Beautiful.
These two little girls have blessed me, as both are my previous preschool students. They were star-students, great friends to others, and brought along a mommy and daddy who added much to our preschool program. This family is made up of four fabulous people, and they were so fun to photograph!
