Connor met me in an alley in downtown Tacoma to get a few modeling images for his modeling agency.
He’s a Bellarmine Junior, so I’ll be doing his senior portraits later this year.
I’m so glad too, since 30 minutes is just not enough time to capture all I wanted to. Look at this great smile Connor has!
Alleys make the best backdrops!
Thanks Connor and I look forward to seeing you again in a few months and sharing a lot more images!
It was time for family portraits for the Johnson family. They had a special day planned to get their family portraits done while the kid’s grandparents were in town. So, when the rain started, there was just no way they could turn back. It was a light rain, so we just all made the best of it and got some great images for them!
I love baby Jasper’s face in this one! Makes me laugh
.
The while gang and again look at Jasper’s face, haha…
She was so good the whole time, but just a warning, do not take babies socks off when the ground is cold and it’s raining outside. They don’t like it. Don’t ask how I know this!
Jack was trying to see me through my lens.
This is PERFECT I tell ya! PERFECT!
We were keeping them all bundled inside their blanket and they liked that.
Just a quick on of the parents and we were done! Thanks for a wonderful shoot Johnson family! You guys are such troopers and a joy to be around!

As you know, I’ve been going through my past sessions finding ones I haven’t blogged yet. A few of my recent shoots have chosen to not to be on the blog, which is totally ok and gives me the opportunity to show some other sessions from a few months ago when life was crazy busy!
This is the Janicki family! They wanted two totally different looks for two different rooms in their house.
The first location was the woodsy river feel. 4 brothers, throwing rocks and having fun. Meet Andrew, Matthew, Nicholas, and Anthony.
They were a ton of fun to work with and full of boy energy!
Buds for life!
This is the one their mom, Angela ordered in a very large canvas for the staircase landing!
A walk in the woods…
Can never just be a walk…
Our next location… totally different! Lots of beach and sunshine!
A family pile up! 
The sun was so strong until the bitter end this day… not complaining though. It was a really beautiful day!
I had to get just a few of Angela and Tom too. Often families just want the kids or all of them, but I really try to encourage getting a few of just the parents. 
Winding down and just playing in the sand.
And one more family portrait as the sun is setting.

Zachary is a 2013 Steilacoom High School senior. We started his session with a portrait of his beautiful family! The sun was shining and it was a wonderful fall day.
We started out at Ft. Steilacoom Park… a very loved and popular place, for photographers and dog lovers. They have the best dog park here!
Come on… you know you’re missing these colors! Forgive me for still posting fall sessions, but I realized I missed a few of my fall seniors and everyone deserves to be a blog star!! I didn’t mean to miss them
. 
Quite the blue eyes!
Zach had such a great personality and what a smile!!
We decided to head up the street a little for some quick shots in a different surrounding.
Then it started to rain on us, so we headed for cover! Well, at least Zach was covered!
The sun was still brilliant, even in the rain.
I loved the glow under the bridge.
Then we braved the and got a few more shots on the way back to the car.
I know, I know… not only should we not be on the railroad track, but it’s very cliche. Well, the sun was just so perfect how it was bouncing off the tracks and the rain coming down made it even more awesome….
… so we were quick and caught just a few and look at those beautiful trees!! It was just too hard to resist. Forgive me!
Thanks Zachary and family for a great shoot!! I look forward to seeing you again someday.

Marina is a 2013 Curtis High School senior.
She loves the outdoors and sunshine!
Marina is part of the Girls Viking Bowling team and part of the National Honor Society.
The classic pose. It’s ALWAYS beautiful!
One of my favorite images to capture are those with pets. Pets bring us such joy in life! I grew up with a ton of them, more than the average person by far! I’ve always had a deep connection with animals. 
Marina plans on attending a 4 year college and majoring in business.
She enjoys hanging life, loves hanging out with friends and listening to music.
One of her favorite places is the beach, so we ended our session there.
We felt very fortunate to have such a beautiful fall day.
Love this!
And this!
Thanks for a great session Marina and so so sorry it has taken so long to make it to the blog!!! Hugs!

Natalie and Taylor are getting married and I get to be there!! Usually I shoot with my hubby, but for this one I’m shooting with my good friend, Misty. She’s good friends with Natalie too, so we thought we would pair up and have some fun together!
Natalie and Taylor really aren’t the serious type, so I only made them stop smiling once, haha. You can tell by their faces here that there is a smile underneath just waiting to bust out!
These guys are laid back and wanted to be comfortable for their shoot, so Natalie was sure to wear her favorite boots and Taylor, well he was cold, so I let him keep his coat on… some of the time.
These two are just natural together and warmed up to the camera quickly!
We had such a beautiful winter day! I really love when it’s a little cold out, but the sun is still shining… just perfect to me!
We had originally thought about going downtown to get city shots, but when I mentioned this location, they decided to give it a try and it was perfect, we stayed there the whole time!
I love how you can see their personalities through these images and how happy they were the whole time! I know there can be anxiety before a shoot, worrying about what to wear, the weather, and how will it feel to be in front of the camera, but really 99% of the time that all goes away in the first 10 minutes, then it’s just time to have some fun!
What a crazy cute couple!
Look at this beautiful light!
We took a little walk around the corner and found just the right spot to capture some different shots. I love giving variety to a shoot!
One of my favorites!! 
We have another session coming in the late spring or early summer, so this isn’t the last you will see of these two!
Fun stuff!
I can’t wait to have a great day with Misty (my second shooter for this wedding) while we document Natalie and Taylor’s big day in September! What an honor!
