Recently I was contacted by John who inquired about getting his portrait done to use for his business. He is in the process of adventuring out with his own practice in the Olympia area.
Sonny and I enjoyed strolling around the park talking to John and we wish him much success. Family and friends can view the full gallery here -> John.
We recently met up with William, Jennifer and their handsome 2 year old son "N" at Wright Park in Tacoma for a family portrait session.
After a short bit we left the park and went to Rustin Waterfront and "N" had a chance to explore under rocks for crabs and other little critters of interest.

We recently met with Sabrina, Brock and their two beautiful children at Lake Lois Park in Lacey. I had never been to this particular park before and I was delighted by all the little spots that were perfect for family portraits.
Let me close with my favorite candid photo from the session.

We recently met with Meghan & Russ at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma for an engagement/Op Love photo session. They will be getting married in their home state of Illinois when Russ returns from his deployment.
* Since this photo shoot technically fell under two categories it's being shared both in the portrait section and under the Op: Love portfolio. :-)
We wish them much happiness and more importantly for the safe return of Russ. As always we are grateful to those who serve our country and to the families of those who serve. Thank-you!

This past weekend I met with Andrea and her husband Jon who will be deploying in July. The reason this doesn't fall under the Op: Love category is because Andrea is a co-worker of my daughter. That and I forgot to mention to Andrea that we needed to have a patriotic theme/feel.
My daughter, Kim gave me specific instructions to "be and play nice" to Andrea. Like I'm not a nice person! Humph, that's a 'child' (she's 26) for you.
With Jon deploying, Andrea will be returning to her home state to be with family. I know my daughter will miss Andrea's bright cheery smile. As for Sonny and myself, we hope you keep in touch and let us know when the baby is born.
We also hope that Andrea thought we "played nice" and will give our daughter a good report. :-) It was great meeting both of you and we wish you both the best.
It wasn't that long ago we met with Baby L and his family. This time L was visiting us for a 3 month photo session. He has grown so much over the past couple of months. You can view photos from his first session with us right HERE.
He still has all that lovely hair and his eyes are a beautiful blue-green. This little guy is going to be a HEARTBREAKER!
The many expressions of 3 month old baby L.
I absolutely love doing the "As Baby Grows" packages as I get to watch these precious little ones grow.
We took a chance at getting baby L without a diaper for this shot. (okay, we had a diaper hiding under him).
After working the camera with the lion, he decided it was time to chill a bit.
He briefly considered fighting sleep but he soon gave in and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Shhhhhhhhhhh, the little angel is sleeping.
A few days ago I was talking about some places that I saw that I thought would be good for senior portraits. My daughter Kimberly volunteered to be a 'senior' model.
Shocked and awed I took advantage of her offer! This is one of those rare opportunities that I was granted.
Our session for the most part took place in downtown Tacoma. There are many wonderful locations for senior portraits in the area.
The photo below is my favorite of the photos taken downtown.
This is the look I received when I asked her to do something - she's thinking about it!
Are we done yet?
This was my personal favorite from the park.
Now if I could've just gotten her to lay down in the dirt for the one photo I really wanted downtown! Another time, maybe with an adventurous senior?
Meet Ashley, a beautiful high school senior who met with us this last weekend for her senior portrait at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.
Doesn't she have such a beautiful smile?
We wish Ashley much happiness in which ever path in life she chooses.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be out of state for the next two or three weeks due to a family urgent need back in Baltimore/Washington DC area.
During the time I'm away, I will have some limited access to the internet. I will also have my cell phone and if I can't accept a call at the time, I will return the calls as soon as possible.
I wish all well and look forward to returning to our beautiful state of Washington.
I Almost forgot, I am setting up an entry for an upcoming event to be remotely posted here in the next few days.
