Spring is HERE! * Fife, WA Child Photographer

Spring is finally here!  The last few days have been beautiful!  Here are a bunch of recent photos of my little man that I took over Spring Break.  Enjoy!

Sister...Sister!!! - Puyallup Child Photographer

I just love the T family.  I met momma T several years ago when my school hired her to be our full time counselor.  She has become one of my best friends.  I was so excited this year to find out that Miss Heide was going to be in my third grade classroom.   The four of us spend this past Saturday exploring Olympia.  It was my first time visiting our state's capital and it was beautiful!  Here are just a few of my favorites!  Enjoy!

Welcome Home Hero! * JBLM Family Photographer

It's the best feeling in the world when a student tells me their Mom or Dad is coming home from a deployment.  After 10 years of teaching on JBLM, I've seen 100's of parents coming and going for months at a time and even longer.  It always amazes me to watch the children press forward and be strong through the difficult separation.  I always wondered what it was like when a parent came home.  Recently, I had the honor of photographing a homecoming for a wonderful family.  I felt so honored to be a part of this special moment!

Congratulations Big Brother! * West Seattle Newborn & Child Photographer

It was so great seeing this family again.  I've been photographing Mr. A since he was 5 months old.  I was so excited when I got the message that he was going to be the big brother of twin girls!  Here are a couple of my favorites from my mini session with them last weekend.  Enjoy!

I just love this vision statement. I believe it perfectly describes this clothing line. I had the honor of receiving a Swanky Baby Vintage outfit to photography over winter break. It's been tough keeping these photos in "hiding" until the release of the collection!

I can't wait until the weather gets a little warmer so I can photograph this beautiful outfit outdoors!!!

Golden Hour * Fife Child Photographer

The best light for photography is early morning and an hour before sunset. It's called The Golden Hour. I've always admired other photographer's photos taken during that time frame. I haven't had the opportunity to schedule a session during that time...so I made it my mission for the rest of this month to capture something beautiful and frame worthy. Kylen and I got in our car around 7:45 and drove around Fife looking for a spot. We found a neat field nearby and took some photos. Here are a couple of my favorites:

A Family * Tacoma Child - Family Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting up with the A ladies for a session at Pt. Defiance Park. We were so lucky to have the beautiful tulips still in bloom. I can't wait until the roses bloom! Here's a sneak peek into our session. Enjoy!
