Brittany G. | Senior Portraits

This beautiful girl... Let me tell you she's a fun loving, easy going character, & the smiles & laughter come so naturally. She was a joy to photograph & was willing to try anything. Her mom & BFF tagged along, lugging around a suitcase full of clothing changes & accessories. We had a ball! Brittany said in our consultation "these are my senior pictures, we have to bring it!" Well Brittany, I think we brought it, we actually totally rocked this photo session. Another interesting tid bit; one of the buildings shot is some of the photographs are of the building that was demolished this week in downtown Tacoma. I am so bummed, it was such a great location. Here's a few of my favs from the shoot. It's so hard to choose. Thanks again Brittany, it was so fun to hang with ya in the city!

Sue & Lee | Wedding

Lake Tapps Golf Course, beautiful setting, beautiful people, and a fabulous wedding. The rain held out and the Mountain made a small appearance. It was hilarious when the officiant asked for everyone to turn off their cell phones, & the entire bridal party, Bride/Groom included did not obey, and their phones blew up with beeping noises at that very moment. Too funny! Below are just a few of my favorite images. Enjoy!

Booth | Orting Saturday Market

OH MY GOODNESS! What a great way to get to know the community. If you missed me at the Orting Saturday Market I will be there for the next six Saturdays. My little 8x8 space was a challenge to design but I think it turned out alright for my first booth. Thanks to my wonderful husband for all his help and support. Images taken with a P&S.

For this market each week there is a drawing, fill out the little card, drop it in the jar, and you may win a FREE Portrait session, an 11x14, and an online slide show. All winners will be announced & contacted on August 31st. My booth is located inside the building. Good Luck!

Great town, great people, it was buzzing early that morning. There is a bike trail that runs right through town so we got a lot of runners & cyclist early in the morning. The market runs from 9AM-2PM until August 22nd. There are crafters, artists, farmers, jewelers, it's quite a diverse market. Hope to see you there!

Coffee Table Book Sample

I am totally pumped up about this sample book, it is a 10x10 white leather coffee table book with silver imprinting. This is my first book through this particular vendor and I am very pleased with the quality, craftsmanship, and overall grand appearance! It's amazing!!! I will be ordering more samples later this week; a 12x12 red leather and an 8x8 image wrap!

The book is offered in 12 amazing leather choices, it has premium heavy weighted paper with or without rounded corners, imprinting or not, and I offer it in 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12.

The books lay flat, two-page spreads (mainly the way I design) are simply breathtakingly gorgeous with no cut seams! You don't loose any part of your photograph. Check out the pics and the colors available, oh by the way you can also get the cover image wrap, Rather than leather it's an image from your session on the cover. Some options are at additional cost, call or email me if you have questions!

Rokkan Family | Portraits

Talk about a wild bunch! This was by far the largest family session I've done, close to forty people! Yaohza! We were worried about the weather; first report no rain then changed to possible showers, then back to sunshine! We lucked out, a bit chilly when we started, but it turned into a beautiful day.
Seriously, though I couldn't of had more fun, each person had their own flare, and grandma and grandpa were so clever and witty. All the kids were so cooperative, even though one of the little ones kept getting a bloody nose - you'd never know it! As most big families know it's quite an ordeal to get everyone in one spot at one time, what a excellent group to work with!
Here's just a few of my favs from this session.
