These blonde beauties are the granddaughters of my parents’ best friends. I grew up with them, and it was so wonderful to get to spend some time capturing their darling little granddaughters when they visited the PNW over Christmas. I hope these photos bring them joy and forever memories!

This beautiful girl is also a very talented golfer, and is setting off to do great things! She comes from a gem of a family, and it’s been my pleasure to help them capture some memories along the way. All the best to you at WSU, sweet girl!

Beautiful Sisters

That about sums it up: Beautiful Sisters (indeed!). These two are just adorable. I love their shy, sweet, innocent smiles. One look at their darling mama, and it’s clear to see where they get their charm. And, one chat with mama, and you can also see their hearts. Love these sweet girls!

This precious high school senior was once a tiny baby I held in my arms. My husband and I enjoyed occasional opportunities to “babysit” her and enjoyed every moment of our Baby Bekah time together. I grew up with Bekah’s mama, and it was so special for me to be able to capture these moments for them . . . as my dear friend’s baby grows up right before our eyes.

These two found one another, and the rest is history. Their story began with friendship . . . and sailboats . . . and led to love. It was a gorgeous August evening (so HOT!), and this waterfront wedding in Gig Harbor was simply beautiful. Congratulations – here’s to you!

A beautiful summer wedding – simply, shabby chic, and lots of love. The barn backdrop was perfect for this cowboy and his bride. With boots on and hay stacks in place, these two said ‘I do’ on a beautiful August day in Gig Harbor. Congrats, and yee-haw!

Headshots

Business Professional Headshots

Professional headshots are a must. If your image is outdated or perhaps you’re using a quick smartphone snapshot, people notice. Put your best face forward, and schedule a quick headshot session. Truly painless, and so very worth it.

She’s a senior. How did that happen?

My spunky, unique, superstar niece is graduating. Not exactly sure how that happened so quickly. It’s been fun to capture her in various seasons of her senior year. Here’s a peek at her “fall / letterman” session at a local park. So happy I get to help her capture these special moments. Sniff.

So many sessions this year have included the family dog! I think it makes the memories extra special. This family is just plain lovely, and they can’t help but make gorgeous photos. Glad I got to capture a few summer memories for them this year.

This family is the sweetest! They found a great spot in their Canterwood neighborhood, and we had fun capturing some great Christmas images for cards and gifts. It’s always extra-fun when the family dog gets to join us.
