Mr. Logan

On Saturday, I met up with Mr. Logan and his mom, Katie, whom I have known for over 10 years! The weather was absolutely phenomenal, and we had ourselves a great time following this smart little boy around and taking his photos. Enjoy!

look at that mischievous smile.

Logan's mom informed me that Logan has

a knack for closing his eyes in photos.

I'm pretty sure everyone has an "eye closer"

in their family! fortunately for Logan,

we went with his talent, and it still made for

amazing photos.

boys will be boys!

kissy face.

eyes closed again, and yet this is one of my favorites!

Sean & Courtney Engagement

Sean & Courtney met up with me in beautiful downtown Tacoma for an evening engagement photo session. I first met Sean almost 10 years ago, when I was going to college to UW. It has been a very long time since I'd seen him, but it was definitely a good visit. His wife-to-be is an absolute natural in front of the camera, and it was awesome getting to see them interact. I also have the privilege of doing their wedding photos this coming July! We all nearly froze trying to get this photo shoot done, but that's the name of the game, and we were blessed with NO RAIN (just freezing cold). Enjoy the preview!

Moore Family!

In such a short span (we were freezing!) I took quite a few photos! These are still just only a small sample. I hope you can see how fun and joyous this family is. I couldn't help but chuckling while editing some of these photos.

Sitting on a pier is just normal, right?

Anyone know what kind of fish this is?

This was....supposed to be silly, but actually turned out pretty great!

Sabrina & Kids.

I've known Sabrina for a very long time. We went to elementary school together! Sabrina & her adorable kids met up with me in Portland, out on Waterfront Park to do a photo shoot. It was QUITE chilly, but everyone did well sacrificing their jackets long enough for some photos. Maybe it is the age group, but her kids were so well behaved! Even the little boy "C" who tried his very best to remain stoic and not crack a smile. ;) Once again, I had a tough time picking out which photos to put up on this site for the preview! Here a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

I love photographing kids shoes. I think shoes

tell a lot about the person. (Did I just paraphrase

Forrest Gump?)

Can you tell she is the baby of the family?

Isn't she beautiful?

He's trying so hard to hide that smile!

The McVey Family.

I had the most delightful time photographing the McVey family. They drove down to Tacoma, and it was wonderful to get to photograph them in all the awesome places here. I went to high school with the parents, and in fact, I was in photography class with both of them, it felt like a "full circle" moment, over 10 years later. Their three children were SO well behaved! I was extremely impressed, and also proud that I happen to know these amazing parents. :)

I love this goofy dad and boys photo!

beautiful mother daughter duo, huh?

this was toward the end of our shoot,

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!

Newborn Mr. M.

I met this new little guy this past weekend. I lucked out, because he was mellow and it only felt like I was torturing him just a little! He was very sweet and so was his mom and his grandfather. Very cool people! It was so lovely meeting you, baby M!

Proud grandfather!

Happy Birthday Mr. L!

I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorites for a milestone birthday, this weekend. I have to commend his mother, my dear friend, who threw an adorable party that went off without a single hitch! All that hard work and planning paid off, and I know he will cherish the photos.
