McV Family Shoot

I love this family. What more can I say? They are so fun, cool, and hip. Their children are sweet and HILARIOUS. This was a far different shoot than our shoot from last year (which was coats and rain and freezing!) The weather was absolutely fantastic and it was wonderful getting to see them again! 

I had to choose from an entire series of hilarious

photos. Don't ask why dad's eyes are slightly red. ;)

I love this one. Look at miss thang over there!

I met up with T & J this weekend at Snake Lake in Tacoma. It's right in the middle of town, and yet it's this beautiful nature conservatory. I had a great time photographing them and their adorable little boy! I hadn't seen T in a very long time (we went to school together, back in the day) and it was wonderful seeing her. Such a beautiful family. I can't wait to photograph their upcoming wedding in 2013, and I definitely can't wait to see their baby boy again!!

don't they just look so in love?

Oh my gosh. If this doesn't

make you smile right along with him,

then you must be really cranky! ;)

Taylor: Curtis Senior High Class of 2013

The morning of Taylor's shoot was gray and dreary, I've had my fare share of rainy day shoots, so I shrugged it off. When it came time for Taylor's shoot in the afternoon, the sun was out and beautiful! We met at Point Defiance Park, and had ourselves a great time. Taylor is a natural, not only is she a beautiful, bright, young woman, but unlike most teens, she's not awkward or shy and did a fantastic job in front of the camera! I would even go so far as to say she's a natural. Hope you enjoy the previews!

Fall is here!

she's just classically beautiful, right?

I love all the cool tones that are 

happening in this photo!

Meeting Miss N.

I ended my long, busy, jam-packed, exhausting day with Miss N, and she was such a joy to photograph that I felt rejuvenated afterwards. Just a wonderfully sweet, happy-go-lucky girl. There are so many cute photos of her that I had an especially hard time choosing just a few for the preview on here! 

Her favorite toy is that little dinosaur, cute, huh?

with her beautiful mama!

Baby J...Hoot! Hoot!

I should really stop calling her "Baby" since she is fast becoming a little girl. Whatever her title may be, she sure is adorable! We did some family photos with her & also some photos with her owl costume. I think...the cutest costume I saw this year! 

*there is a photo with her turned around,

but I thought this was funny! 

Destination Wedding/ Fall Photo Shoots! (Christmas Cards!)

Hello friends! I am traveling to Las Vegas this weekend for a destination wedding. I will be doing the photography for the Vegas wedding, please look for photos sometime next week. Fun fact: Did you know? That my husband and I lived in Vegas? Yes, yes we did. If you know us, and think that this is totally unexpected, you are RIGHT. We hated it. Now we are returning, more than 4 years since our departure. 

Also: It feels early, but time to start thinking about family photos for CHRISTMAS CARDS! Fall time slots available for LONGVIEW photo shoots! September 17th 9-12pm out on Abernathy (Abernathy, is where we get all those amazing fern/tree/woodsy backgrounds). September 18th (morning/afternoon). As for October, I only have October 15th morning, and October 16th morning available (everything else has been booked!). Please feel free to contact me to book your time slot. 

*and as always if you have another date you need, please feel free to ask and we might be able to work something out! Also, please check the calendar at bottom of this page.
