Too much rain and not enough sunshine give this photographer an itchy trigger finger! Sure, I can shoot in the studio but there’s nothing like getting outdoors with all the beautiful colors! The other day I drove by this field and instantly knew that I had to shoot in it SOON! Flowers don’t last long in the Northwest rain.  Luckily my daughter Hannah and her friend Taylor were game and the got these beautiful images to boot!!

I love seeing my daughters and their friends together. Most of their friends are like our own children. They come into the house without announcing and have dinner with us, I love it! It reminds me how important it is to maintain relations with the special women in our lives.

Michael is a senior at Auburn Riverside High School this year.  I photographed Michael’s brother last year and I have known Michael for several years. In fact, he was one of my models several years ago while I was practicing my skills! We got half of a session in before it started raining so there should be a part posting soon. For now, enjoy these:

You may recognize Megan from a photo shoot a did awhile back.  Megan came back for a final shoot in the studio recently. This posting includes some images from her other shoots as well.  I really love the different looks that Megan has.  Just a change of scenery and an outfit change and she looks like a different person.  Enjoy:

Abbie is s senior this year and she will be attending Western in the Fall.  Abbie is another one of the high schoolers that I have known since she was born.  It has been so amazing to realize how fast time has flown. One day they were babies playing together on the floor and the next thing you know, they are off to college! We headed to my studio in Tacoma for some of these shots and went outdoors for the rest. Enjoy!

Sam is a senior at Auburn Riverside High School this year.  He will be graduating in a few short weeks.  I think Sam was probably the most fun guy I have ever shot.  He had tons of wardrobe, shoes and props. He brought more things that most girls do! (sorry Sam!). I think the fun comes through in these images. Enjoy!

It occurred to me recently that I have tons of ‘never-before-see’ portraits in my Lightroom catalog that I haven’t shared on the blog.  I have posted some on Facebook but there are so many more to share!

This is Brooke and she’s a senior at Auburn Riverside High.  Brooke and her mom and I had so much fun going around Tacoma shooting these images and Brooke even brought her kitty with her! Enjoy these:

My favorite pictures are always those of mothers and daughters. This is such a proud bittersweet time for moms!ImageImage

Aly is a senior at Sumner High School and She also attended GRCC so she will be graduating with her AA degree as well! What a super accomplishment.  I have known Aly and her family since before she was born. She was born about the same time as my youngest.  Aly picked the Steilacoom area for her session.  It was chilly but the images turned out really lovely! Enjoy these:
