*so sweet*

I got to meet little mr. [T] last week and all I have to say is what a blessing.  He was quite a wonderful client :)  Or you could just say a wonderfully quiet client!

Here are those beautiful eyes...

Mom is stealing kisses...

And I can't believe this one.  They are *both* smiling!!

{*Daddy Day*}

What a great day!  The sun is out and it's finally warm!!  What a perfect day to celebrate DAD :)  Our day has already begun with lots of kisses and hugs and Reagan running around saying "Happy Daddy Day"!  I am still in the midst of editing yesterday's session of our wonderful friends [L], [C] and [little C], but I couldn't resist posting a sneak peak for Father's Day...

And Cargo completes this family of four.

{Give Thanks}

June is a time of many blessings.  Seniors [congrats N!] are graduating and moving on with their adult lives.  Families are getting ready to go on vacations together.  And finally, in Western Washington, the sun is coming out!

I photographed a wonderful family yesterday that included two impressive gentlemen.  Brothers who are both in the Army preparing to serve our country.  With summer comes holidays like Memorial Day, Independence Day and later, Veterans Day.  Remember to reflect and give thanks not only on these days, but also on the Mondays and Thursdays and every other day during the week.  We should all keep our soldiers in our prayers and thank them when we see them for their courage and sacrifice so that we may be at home with our families living in peace.

This was my favorite photo of the day...

CLASS reminder

Hi guys - 

Just wanted to post a reminder of the "class" Friday (info in May 21 post below).  Several have rsvp'd and confirmation emails with directions will be going out tomorrow.  I am really excited about this!  Remember, it will be nothing formal.  I will have a few handouts so you don't have to write so much and we will go outside (weather permitting) and practice what we learn.  Should be fun!  See you at 6!

**new site is up!**

I cannot believe it!  After much hard work and many new computer terms learned, the new website is up and running! I hope this makes it much easier for everyone to access their photos and to contact me.  I think all of my email is working now too...give it a try and lets see!

[Congrats!]

It's getting to be summer time (although the temp doesn't reflect it) and that means graduation!  Here are a couple of senior pics I took of Z this weekend.  We walked all around downtown Puyallup and came up with some pretty cool stuff...

This is much better (in my opinion) than the standard cap and gown pics.

And this may end up being Z's favorite.

Just a preview >>

I had so much fun yesterday shooting little J's first birthday pics!  Here are a couple of preview pics...haven't had time to get to the cake shots!  There are just so many good ones to pick from!!

I also had fun with my new editing software.  I really l-o-v-e the b&w version of the family pic.
