Hailey & Jake (my niece and nephew) are finally at an age where they can really try to “find” the eggs and have a blast while doing so. We did some quick pictures of them in action and we were also able to take some fun family photos, including yours truly! Enjoy. :)

This girl is such a sweetheart and such a cutie pie. Enjoy!

Now she can sit up, make funny faces at me, play with the fun props we had, and even let me put cute pearls on her. I’ve learned that she really doesn’t like tulle and really loves the song “skinny marinkadinkeedoo!” Overall, what a fun little Easter session. Thank you Kyle and Haley for again allowing me to photograph your beautiful and adorable family (including Locker!) Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

I took photos of them when Luke was still a little baby, and now they’re a family of four with little Emily! Check out how adorable they are:

The perfect little family

I have been busy this summer and beginning of fall with some great senior photo shoots, and there are more upcoming as well! Here are some shots of Kellie (remember Kyle and Haley? This is their beautiful sister!) and Melvin, my own little brother! Yikes, I can’t believe he’s graduating already….I’m getting old. :/ Enjoy!

We’ve had a couple engagement sessions for them in the past (you might remember the huskies!) and they finally had their wedding in July! They were married in the gorgeous Pioneer Park Pavilion in Puyallup and also had the reception there. It was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple. Congrats to the two of you, and everyone else enjoy these fun pictures!

One of my guestbooks! Instead of a wedding album, Haley and Kyle chose to have this custom-made book for guests to sign. It worked out well!
