How Does Your Garden Grow? {Tacoma Baby Photography}

This little girl's name is Eden.  

Welcome to the Garden of Eden....

Just learning to sit up and quite intrigued by the outdoors, we headed out to the garden on one of our {few} sunny days!  I enjoyed this little one's facial expressions!  (I am pretty sure the bottom right picture carries with it the question of "why does that lady keep putting that black box over her face?")

Not sure they get any cuter than that!!

I LOVE these pictures of Miss E playing with her feet!  Oh, the simple joys!!

Thanks mom, for letting me photograph your sweet little Eden.  She is wonderful, amazing and a sweet, sweet little flower from the garden!!

The Sweetest Girl I Know {Tacoma Portrait Photography}

One of the perks of being a photographer is that when I am paying attention, I get some great shots of my kids!  My 15 year old enthusiastic, dramatic, absolutely fabulous girl wanted a little photo session the other evening and we headed into downtown Tacoma for some fun.  The results are stunning....

Though most of the session was M's idea (she told me what she wanted and I photographed it), I did have a couple of pictures in mind.  I wanted her with Pooh Bear...I am pretty sure a set of these images will be going on our wall!!

The thing I love about this girl is that she is both deep and totally fun and giggly!!  She lives life to the full.  In fact I used to tell people that the rest of us just hear things, she hears it in Dolby Surround Sound...and while the rest of us only see color, she sees in Technicolor!!  

Headed into an antique shop for the rest of the session....

A special thanks to Rampizi's for letting us come in and use the furniture!  (They are located on Broadway and about 7th St. in Tacoma, by the way!!)  Check them out...it is one of the coolest stores EVER!!

Thanks Miss M...for this fun photo shoot AND for 15 years of joy!!

Class of 2012: Morgan {Graham Senior Photography}

It was fun to be with Morgan the other day.  You may remember this beautiful girl from back in the fall...now, here she is in the spring!!

She wanted a bit of a different look from the fall.  She opted for a more dressed up look in an urban setting...love it!!

{The eyes tell it all!}

Love a girl who will jump in wedges!!

We came across some chalk art and couldn't resist this picture!

Morgan, it was great to photograph you again!!  I wish you the best for the rest of this year, and on into your future!!

Kiss Me: Ceci and Waylon {Seattle Engagement Photography}

The story goes like this...a guy and girl dated for a little bit and then wen their separate ways.  Fate, however, had a different plan.  They didn't know it, but the Red Thread of connection was already there, being stretched and maybe tangled but never broken.  

Their lives changed on a simple afternoon when they decided to take the ferry.  Waylon was sitting in one of the seats when he saw Ceci come down the stairs and across the aisles.  

Not sure exactly what happened next, but I just got to photograph their engagement pictures and will attend their wedding in October.  I guess things went pretty well with that fateful meeting on the ferry!!

We decided to do a little exploring on Bainbridge before we got back on the ferry.  So glad we did!!

I know they thought I was a little crazy asking them to lay down on the floor of the ferry....but I think the pictures turned out pretty well!!  (Plus the floor was really nice and warm from the sun!!)

At the end...tired out, with all the stuff....still in love!!

Thanks Ceci and Waylon.  I had a wonderful time with you two!!  Can't wait for October!!
