Jordann Steilacoom Senior Pictures

What a fun session!

It was even more amazing when I noticed Jordann's mom had Oregon plates on her car. I'm from Oregon so I asked her where she was from- she responded:

'Oh, a small town no ones ever heard of.'

I said 'Try me! I'm from Oregon.'

She said 'Myrtle Point'

I said 'NO WAY! My husband is from Myrtle Point!'

She said 'GASP- your married to Mike Lund??? We graduated high school together!'

Really they are from a teeny, itty bitty spot in the road called Broadbent and it was so strange to run into someone from there in Washington- what fun!!!

It made our session with Jordann all the better. She was so brave in the cold and windy weather. Kept her beautiful smiles on all the while! I can't wait for you to see the rest- you're going to love them!

Festival of Trees- youngest tree sponsor

I was so thrilled to be able to capture the culmination of months of work for young Ben Weymiller.

Last year Ben was a tree host at the festival, where he watched to make sure children didn't get too close and hurt themselves amongst all the glorious trees, toys and decorations. Last summer he decided he wanted to raise money himself for Children's Hospital and chose to sponsor a tree at the Festival of Trees. At 13 Ben is the youngest tree sponsor ever.

With the help from amazing Gig Harbor interior designer, Samantha Moon, they put together a tree with decorations and gift donations of over $5000 dollars.

The tree's theme is 'Sound Full of Joy'. A nautical tree representing all of the amazing things to do around the Puget Sound area. BerryLane Photography was honored to be asked to donate a photography session and an 11x14 art print.

Yesterday I witness the creation of this beautiful tree! Enjoy- and don't forget to attend the Festival of Trees Dec5th & 6th at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center.

Maternity Photography Gig Harbor- TWINS!!!!

¡Hermosa Madre Embarazada! (Beautiful Pregnant Mother!)

This breathtaking family is just stunning. Mommy is pregnant with twin boys, which will be so much fun for big sisters "K" and "C." I had the pleasure of having both girls in my preschool class, and can't think of a sweeter family.

It was delightful to spend time with their growing family, and help them create memories through photography.

She could be a model!

This sweet young gal convinced her parents to let her have her own mini session during one of our Raspberry Snap days.

Her whole family (mom, dad, brother, sister) came to watch as she posed, smiled and giggled! At the end she gave us both big hugs and said 'That was so much fun! I felt like a model!'

She could be! What a gorgeous young lady.

Swimming family photos

This family had a unique idea for their family portraits. At the pool!!!!

Both mom and daughter are on swim teams, and dad, well, he just snorkels around.....
I love it when a family chooses something, fun and different and completely them for their pictures. It makes it so much fun!
