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

This was one of the coolest sessions ever! Her poise and beauty combined with willingness and talent helped us achieve just the look we were going for. This lovely young lady devotes much of her time to dance, and it was fitting that she would want to capture that in these images. Casual, beautiful, unique . . .

Isn’t she lovely? Dreamy to photograph, too. The camera, obviously, loves her. And, I do, too. Super fun to work with this beauty, and also with Artisty by Inga Fouquette (hair and makeup).

Sunrise Photograph is now booking for 2013 / 2014 weddings.

So many recent clients have requested a “casual headshot” for various reasons. These images are often used as profile pictures on social media sites for business purposes, or on web pages. It’s quick and easy – painless, really – to schedule a headshot session. I usually have your images edited and emailed to you within 2 or 3 days. I’d love to set up a headshot session for you!

Senior photography provides the opportunity for some of the coolest experiences! I love meeting new people, and hearing their stories. This family found Sunrise Photography via my soccer team photos (another avenue I love). They booked a 90 minute session, including 2 locations and a few outfit changes. We did a bit of Gig Harbor waterfront, then moved to a local park, and ended on the baseball field. It was a beautiful day, and really great to spend time with this 2013 grad and his mom.

Friendship is for Photographing!

These beauties are dear friends. When they realized they had lots of various pictures of some of spending time here, and others of them together there, they discovered that what they did not have was one single amazing image of the four of them together. That’s where I came in!

It’s easy to remember to schedule a portrait session for our family or a child’s birthday or even an anniversary; but, how often to we carve out time to have a a keepsake photo with our dearest girlfriends become a reality? Not often, I’m afraid. When these lovely ladies approached me with their idea, I jumped on it! And, I offered a special rate (I do that when something fun and unique intrigues me . . . and I really love girlfriends!). I was so thrilled to be able to document some sweet moments these gals shared. And, our local Morso in Gig Harbor seemed like the perfect place to make it happen.

If you have unique ideas for events you’d like photographed, get in touch with me! I like this stuff.

Yes, they are as sweet and lovely as they look. This couple is so fun to work with! They are laid back, and let me play around with ideas; which leads to fun photos. They had some great ideas of their own, too. They made this cute wooden sign for their “Save the Date” cards, and brought their “best friend” along to help pose.

The most special thing about their session, however, had to have been the location. We met at the family home in Bremerton. It’s a beautiful spot that looks directly at this beach and those beautiful mountains. Grandparents live on the property, and I thought of Grandma the whole time I edited these images. She wasn’t able to be at the session, but I hope the images find a special place in her heart.

I’m looking forward to sharing this couple’s wedding day with them this summer. It was a delight to work with them!

fun little senior session

Is she adorable, or what? This senior photo session was made especially fun because artistically trained mom was along for the ride. She was really fun and helpful with things like: posing specifics, lines, negative space, etc. Some of these images were perfected by Mom’s great eye and helpful hints here and there. Super fun!

I could have photographed her all day . . . she’s as sweet inside as she is beautiful on the outside. And, the really cool part? She doesn’t act like she even knows she’s as pretty as she is. That makes her even prettier.

Just in time for Christmas.

The sweetest. Look at these beautiful big sisters adoring their new little baby brother, Cooper. He’s the bees knees, and throughout the session it was quite obvious that everyone in the family felt that way about their newest addition.

This photo session was a baby shower gift, and I don’t know if I’ve ever been as touched by a mother’s thankful heart. For me, this is all about bringing smiles and hearts filled with joy to my clients. I want them to be able to cherish memories through these images. It means so much to me when people express their delight, and this mommy did so abundantly.

It was so great to spend time with this fab fam of five. Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!

a fun and funny family. they make me smile.

These sweet people are full of life and full of love.  They say hillarious things and laugh at each other with a fond, adoring, tenderheartedness that is uniquely “Mullen.” I’m so happy I was able to photograph them this Christmas season!

On a side note, one of those pretty girls happens to be extra-special to me. She was in my class when I taught elementary school in Tacoma years ago (more years than we really need to count). She was something special then, and held a special place in my heart during that time. She’s still amazing, and I’m so proud of the young lady she’s grown into. (enough of that. tears now.)

And, my very favorite part of the session? Hugs. From each of the kids as they departed. I’m hoping (and assuming) that means they felt blessed and joyful as we wrapped things up. That’s always my prayer.
