Blossom the Labradoodle {Gig Harbor Dog Photographer}

Look at that eye contact!

My Queendom for a treat!

The perfect portrait!

Is anything cuter than a laughing dog?

Blossom was such a sweet doggy! She just loves everyone. She is a miniature Australian Labradoodle- a bread that was developed for helping the handicapped.


She has a silly little habit! When her 'mom' and 'dad' have overnight guests they must be warned to close their bedroom door. Otherwise Blossom sneaks in their room and starts 'shopping' in their suitcase, bringing out her newly found treasures for everyone to see!

{Seabrook, WA} Family Get Away

It's summer time! My family and I enjoyed a quick little get-away to Seabrook, Washington (in Pacific Beach). It is such an adorable little community, and gave us a great time to relax and spend time together. We also celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary during our visit, which made it all the more special. ~ Heidi

Pelican Dental- Gig Harbor WA

Look at these happy, smiling folks from Pelican Dental! You can't be scared going to the dentist when you see a crew like this one!


This was one of the images taken for some print advertising they are starting in July.

{Gig Harbor Photographer} Canterwood Life

I was so excited when I was chosen to be the photographer for Canterwood Life Magazine. In the past few months I have gotten to meet all kinds of wonderful people from the Canterwood community.


Like the Phillips! 


I just can't say enough about how wonderful this family photo session was. It was a cool and rainy Saturday but we were up against the submission deadline so we couldn't postpone. Lucky for us the rain broke just in time for their session. Everyone was happy and in god spirits and that makes my job so much more fun. I loved the jewel toned wardrobe they chose that matched wonderfully but wasn't too matchy matchy!


And Disco- their dog!!!! She was the sweetest thing. I have never photographed a dog that loved it as much as Disco did. She always gave me her best look and amazing eye contact. What a charmer!

{Senior Picture} Cool Trio Storyboard

I love it when my clients come up with the PERFECT combination of photos for a storyboard. Among many other items that were ordered this was one of my favorites. It completely shows Danny's personality and I am sure it will be treasured for years to come.

Paradise Theatre Gig Harbor presents - Grease!

Paradise Theatre presents their first summer production GREASE! Opening night was Friday June 17th. They show continues for the next three weekends, with three shows each weekend(Fri, Sat and Sun).


The music is live and the dancing  and singing is fabulous! If you haven't seen Grease for a while this is definitely the show to see!


Jeff and Vicki Richards (the owners of Paradise Theatre) really know their stuff. I am constantly amazed at the choreographer Vicki comes up with and this show just continues the trend. All kinds of fun flips and spins and, well, other moves I don't even know what are called are all over this show.


A perfect start to a fun summer is spending a few fun filled hours in the theater watching this production.


Call for tickets today: 851-7529

Another Fabulous Gig Harbor Photography Session!

These boys were SO cool! Brothers to the end but completely different. One is a total rock star. Taking electric guitar lessons and jamming out. The other is completely psyched for a week of computer camp up in Seattle.


Both were up for anything I wanted them to do- and boy did they light up when I suggested they bring out their 'favorite things'!

{Family Photography Gig Harbor} The Folley's

This darling family won a Vintage Black and White photography session from a donation we made to the Gig Harbor Little League auction. We did this session at Kopachuck State Park on a very sunny Saturday. My goodness- the park was packed! We were all surprised at how many people were enjoying themselves at the beach. Luckily I was still able to make it look like they were all alone.


This session will be especially memorable for the Folley's as they are soon moving away from the Pacific NW. Hopefully they will look back and fondly remember our amazing sunny days and not all the rain we've had!

Day Four Photo Challenge {Something Green}

This was our day four assignment {Something Green}. This has been so much fun seeing what each one of us comes up with. I have to say- we are all SO very creative!!!

{BerryLane Baby Plan} Perfect for the First Year!

Some give it as a baby shower gift, some purchase it on their own when their little one is born, and for some it's something grandma just has to have . . . it's our Berrylane Baby Plan! This darling little guy was a pleasure to meet one year ago, as a newborn. We enjoyed spending time in his home photographing him as his life was just beginning. When I returned for his six-month session, it was so much fun to see how he'd grown. His smile was bigger, and he was sitting up. Most recently, I made another trip to their home for his one-year photos. Wow! He's walking, laughing, chatting, and oh-so-much fun. I've enjoyed my little part in documenting their journey. Mom's comment to me as we walked to the neighborhood park just hit the nail on the head, "Heidi, having you come here and spend time with our family has meant so much to us. Some of my friends have rushed into department stores for quick baby photos, but they don't hold a candle to this experience. Allowing our boy to play in his own surroundings really captures him and our family." Happy 1st Birthday, cutie pie! ~ Heidi

So . . . we got a new lens . . .

We got new lens! I'm practicing . . . with flowers (you're welcome, Erin). ~ Heidi

Outdoor-Loving Family!

This family returns to me for annual photographs, and I have so much fun playing outside with them! We spent time at the beach together last year, and chose a wooded park with trails and an open field this year. Because they love being outdoors together so much, their photographs show them at their best. Mom and Dad just set these two kiddos free, and I get to have all the fun capturing them in this beautiful Washington goodness that surrounds us. I really love getting to know people through repeat sessions. It gives me a precious opportunity to capture what I see inside them as I grow to know them more and more over the years. ~ Heidi
