Baby George: Newborn /Family/Documentary Photographer: Silverton, OR

It’s such a treat for me when I get to photograph my friends and their families. Even if it means getting up early in the morning to travel 4 hours from Tacoma to Silverton, OR. I love it! Because I was also there to visit with my friend Megan and meet her new baby George, I was there much longer, which meant extra photos and even a short video of George and big sister, Nora. I spent one on one time just with Nora, to make sure she felt special, since so much focus often falls on new babies. She was a bundle of energy. I love creating playful photos that capture the true essence of a child. Then we just got some laid back photos of them doing there thing. Later we did portraits and then more play at the park. I wish everyone had this kind of time for photos. Not only because you capture some of the best photos, but moving slowly through the process makes it so much easier for babies and kids.

If you are interested in a newborn and family session, you have different options to choose from when it comes to style and approach. We can shoot in a documentary style, where I just capture you and your family in your element. We can shoot lifetyle which is a mix and portrait and natural photos. You can also keep it to strictly portraits. It really depends on how you want to remember these special moment.

If you would like to see their family film you can watch it HERE.

    Casey: Stadium High School Class of 2024: Tacoma Senior Photography

    At the end of the summer last year, I got together with Casey and his mom, Katie, to take his senior photos as he was getting ready to finish his last year at Stadium High School. We ended up choosing two of the most iconic locations in Tacoma to take his portraits. The first being in front of his high school, which is a well known building, known for the backdrop of the movie Ten Things I Hate About you. We also went to the beautiful Wright Park. This was a special place to Casey since, as a cross country running, he often would work his way through the park on his countless runs.

    Casey was very sweet during the session, as he wasn’t all that thrilled about getting his photos taken, but he kept telling his mom, “these are for you.” I find that senior boys are less excited about getting their photos taken than girls. However, they never regret doing it by the end. If you have a senior in high school graduating this coming school year, summer is a great time to book your session. You benefit from the great weather, and getting it done for the year. Book your senior photos today! Yay class of 2025!

      The Weber Family : Tacoma Family Photographer: Ruston Way Jack Hyde Park

      The Weber Family is a very special family to me. I have been photographing them since their oldest was in his mama’s belly for maternity photos on Brown’s Point. It has been such a gift to watch this family grow. I have done newborn, maternity, generational and family photos. All the while, also getting to know them and learn about their own Journey as a family. I have so much love and respect for this family. Enjoy these sweet photos.

      How much as your family changed since you last took family portraits? Sometimes it takes a photograph to see how big your kiddos have gotten. Book you family photos this summer when the light is beautiful and the weather is warm.

        The Rorem Family: Tacoma Family Home Photographer

        Moving out of your first home can be really difficult. My sister and her husband brought all three babies (and one fur baby) home to this house. But as they grew it became more and more crowded. They finally reached a point that they had to find a bigger home. However, leaving this special place was difficult for all of them. So we took some photos to capture the spaces they have spent so much time in. The spaces where so much life has been lived. Family photos are a dream when you include the family house. The house is really part of the family. Whether or not your moving, family sessions at home make some of the most unique and special images, especially as time passes.

          Baby Luke: Tacoma Newborn Photographer

          I have had the honor of photographing all three babies in the Brett family. It’s such a joy watching a family grow and seeing each kiddo change as they become a big brother or sister.
