This really fun family enjoyed a beautiful afternoon session which included two locations: the beach and their home. Daddy was crazy-good at getting these two littles to giggle, giggle, giggle! I’m looking forward to another upcoming session over Christmas which will include their extended family. It’s so fun to work with really great people.

Love My Friends

I love my friends. These are a few of them. We met in downtown Tacoma at Wright Park and enjoyed a really lovely fall afternoon together. Our session included some more traditional posing, fun individual portraits of the kids, some lovey-dovey stuff of Mom & Dad, and lots of casual and fun interactions between the family. My heart is happy when I get to spend time with friends capturing a few memories along the way.

They did it all just right. This wedding was the perfect mix of chic / casual F-U-N! It quickly became apparent that the bride and groom have surrounded themselves with great friendships. There was a family-like ease between the attendants. The bride, of course, was so beautiful. My favorite piece of her is her calm, easy-going spirit. A great day! Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs.!

This beauty is fun, easy-going, and has a bright future in front of her! We spent a fun afternoon at Wright Park combined with the urban look that downtown Tacoma provides. It’s great to see seniors scheduling fall photo sessions now rather than waiting for “last-minute-hope-the-weather-agrees” spring photos.

Sweet Siblings

These sweet siblings scheduled a fun day at the beach, and I was so happy to be able to capture some of their togetherness. They tossed rocks in the water, swung upside down from tree branches, and had a great time in the sand. Grandma scheduled this session, and included two cousins (to be posted soon!). Such a great family!

I’ve known these sweet girls for over six years now, and it’s been a joy to watch them grow into lovely young ladies. They are kind, fun, easy-going, and obviously beautiful girls, and I’m so glad I got to spend an afternoon with them on the dock in downtown Gig Harbor. The location was so fun! I love when clients choose a spot I’ve never used before. Thanks, girls!

One of the Sweetest Families in Town

They really are one of the sweetest families in town! So glad to have met them through school and sporting activities this year. Great family and fabulous dog. I love for my clients to bring the family pup along for their session! These sweet kids will never be this age again – so glad we captured this moment in time.

This young man used to be a little tiny boy I held in my arms. His mama is my lifelong friend, and I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up. I’m so very proud of who he is today, and had a lot of fun spending time with him the other day. We began at GHHS, moved to the family farm, and finished at the beach with dear Maya (the family dog). Great locations + a fabulous guy + some expert reflector-holding by Mama = a fun senior session! Have a great senior year, Reese! You are loved.

This is the perfect time to book your senior session, Class of 2014! Summer sun, and you’ll be so glad you’re not rushing to get photos schedule in the spring. www.SunrisePhotoGH.com

Headshots

Professional Headshots, casual style

I’m simply loving the current trend toward casual headshots in relaxed and inviting environments. Clients are requesting the beach, their own backyard, or other local landmarks as headshot locations. This dental office found the perfect backdrop for their headshots at UPS in Tacoma – and WOW, what a beautiful campus! Headshots with Sunrise Photography are a great way to update your business profile. It’s a simple, quick, painless process.

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!]
