Grandma's Birthday Gift

I can't think of a better gift for Grandma . . .

these two very-cool families got together to create an image of the grandchildren as Grandma's surprise birthday gift. Everything from their wardrobe to location to timing was really thought-out, and the end result was exactly what they had hoped for: a joyful grandma!

I sure enjoyed working with these families.  ~ Heidi

Family Fun in the Summer Sun

Finding time to look back over some fantastic family sessions this summer . . .
Here's a peek at a family of five, with three joyful little boys at the beach. They were as sweet as can be, and I was so happy to capture these "forever memories" for them.

Our mini-session are a great way to create your own family wall collage or canvas portrait. As the holidays are approaching, photographs are also a perfect idea for gift giving. Our Christmas card special is running now . . . call Sarah to schedule your appointment: 253-985-5658.

Tacoma Rainy Day senior Pictures

Yep- it rains in Washington! Lots and lots of rain sometimes!

Shelby's session was a great example of what we can do even when it's dark and cloudy and raining. Because of schedules and deadlines we didn't want to postpone this session. Shelby's ideal location was at Titlow beach but there is no place under cover there.

However, in down town Tacoma there are many places that have awnings and covered walkways and places we could duck into. We decided to split the session half of the time in downtown Tacoma and the other half risking the rain at Titlow beach.

Look at these amazing images! Shelby was great. Not even worried about her hair getting that wet! We had a huge umbrella and managed to dodge the raindrops.

We were excited when we got to Titlow because it wasn't raining.... but by the time we got one outfit change in it started! Because we knew we had such great shots with dry hair we just embraced the wind and the rain and the clouds- and even the freezing cold water! Way to go Shelby!

Cooper- Bellarmine Senior Pictures

Cooper was referred to BerryLane Photography by two 2011 seniors that he played soccer with- Keenen and Alex. Ha- not only does Cooper play soccer, but football also (he was only a little late to practice because of his senior session!), oh, and golf and he used to play basketball, and probably every other sport out there too!

I just loved that we got some shots with his sweet golden-doodle Lucy. What a charmer she was!

Zach- Senior pictures- Portland!

It was a blast photographing Zach! His mom, Polly, is a sorority sister of mine- actually my Sigma Kappa Little Sis! they drove all the way up from Portland so I could take Zach's pictures- what an honor!

Zach is an amazing golfer. After we spent some time in downtown Tacoma getting some fun urban shots we headed out to Chambers bay. Of course he has golfed there before! I am beyond excited for Polly, Sean and Zach to see all his pictures!

Ronson Gig Harbor Senior Pictures

No one has come to a session more prepared with their favorite things than Ronson. I haven't counted how many things he had- but there were a ton! 


Ronson and his mom went out scoping for a cool location and found this neat road and trail near Titlow that I had never been on before. I just love photographing in new places!


And, by the way, Ronson's a swimmer....
