Front Page Photo- The News Tribune

Wow! We made it on the front page of The News Tribune!!!

When I was photographing Brittany's senior pictures we were approached by a newspaper photographer who was taking pics for an article on Tacoma landmarks.

Little did I know they were going to say:
Welcome to the 2009 Tour of Tacoma Endangered Landmarks … THAT COULD KILL YOU!

Just to clarify- I hardly think Brittany was in any danger-lol! The steps are a little old and chipping off, and yes, there is one section where the railing was broken away from the car that tried to drive down the steps several months ago..... but Brittany survived just fine, lol!

I thought it would be fun to show the pic they snapped for the paper and the final image I was taking when they snapped it. Isn't she gorgeous!

Best Friends

I always encourage seniors to bring their 'favorite thing' to include in their session. Ariel brought Austin- her best friend.

We had so much fun at Pt Defiance. And even threw in a joint 'trash the dress' (well, Austin was wearing a dress shirt....). We got some amazing images!

Austin leaves for college in a week. I think they are really going to miss each other.

Mari- senior pictures

I had a great time with Mari and her mom taking her senior pictures at Pt Defiance. Our first stop was Club Biella for her make up then off to the park we went where I got the most beautiful smiles and laughs!

I continue to feel so blessed with the wonderful weather we've been having lately. It's not too hot, not too cold, not too sunny and not too cloudy. Combine this with wonderful Miss Mari- ahhh, perfection!

Gig Harbor Photographer- A Family Session

A day at the beach with a family of 21, celebrating a wedding anniversary milestone - it was so fun to be a part of this event!

As the family scrambled around getting things prepared, our intern Sophie and I scoped out a few good spots to situate a group of this size. They worked so well together, and were such a lovely family to photograph. They were up for some posing ideas, also like my spontaneous suggestions for a less traditional look, and even made some funny faces (at Mom & Dad's request) for the camera. It was a ball! Happy Anniversary!

Gig Harbor Beach Fun

Such a darling family! From Grandma & Grandpa, to Mom & Dad, to Sister & Brother, this group was simply adorable. They were looking for some beach fun, and we found it - even at high tide!

I enjoyed watching brother and sister laugh and enjoy this session. A family photo is just about the most perfect birthday gift I can think of . . . Happy 70th Birthday, Grandpa!

Shelby- Senior Pictures Tacoma

Shelby was the perfect gal for my first session after vacation. So sweet and a beautiful smile- we had a great time at Pt Defiance park taking her portraits.

It was so nice not to be photographing in 90 degree weather! It was fabulous. Not too hot and not too cold. Shelby- I can't wait for you to see the rest- I know you're going to love them! The basketball pics are especially cool!
