CUSTOM PRINTS + COMPILATION PRINTS + WHO WHAT WHERE AND WHY

{COMPILATIONS + CUSTOM PRINTS)

Here are a few options you have to print your images in. These are all sized special for what your needs are. For instance the top one is a 10x30 of this lovely redhead.

The average senior doesn't want your old fashion "folio" anymore.

A good way to capture the heart of the shoot, not just one image

{EXTENDED FAMILY PHOTOS +LARGE FAMILY SESSIONS}

What a beautiful family this is. It was such a pleasure photographing them and capturing all the love that goes around in their family. Paul and Jill (Grandma and Grandpa) were married over 30 years ago and started their family right away. They have three beautiful daughters Candi, Jennifer and Sarah. Sarah married Josh in 2008 and they have two beautiful children. Jennifer and Paul married in 2009 and have a beautiful little girl.
We started this shoot with this top image capturing the full family before the little ones got antsy. You just never know when they're going to fall apart so that first imagine being a large group is important. Grandma and Grandpa want that photo more than any of the others for the most part so lets focus on making sure we get them what they want.
After the large family we transitioned into the grand babies while they were still just a couple minutes away in a great smiley mood. Kids burn out quick and you really have to give them down time in between shoots and bring lots of treats (crackers, fruit, candy if you may). We transitioned into the mother/daughter images and three generation images after this to give those kids a break and let them play in the grass and enjoy some grapes. As you can see we transitioned people in and out of images as time went on. It really is the best way to capture everyone in a great mood.

ANNIVERSARY PHOTOS + 30TH ANNIVERSARY

ANNIVERSARY PHOTOS? YES PLEASE!

First off lets just say "out with the studio" and "in win the outdoors". Yes, that sounds quite silly, but these days studio photos for your 30th, 40th, 50th... You don't need them. Lets consider the fact you probably are reading this and live in Washington State where we're located (just outside of Tacoma in the Puyallup Valley). Do you know how many "sunny" days we have here in Washington each year on the Western side? 73 to 78 days of sun on average. That means that all those other days although it sounds from the outside like all we have is rain... it's overcast, cloudy, muggy, maybe a little drizzly... but what that does actually is offer beautiful outdoor photography. It may not be the best weather ALL the time here, but it does offer some beautiful even light on over cast days and we have such a beautiful green state (the evergreen state yes?) that there is always green SOMEWHERE.

These images are of this beautiful couple celebrating both their 30th anniversary and their very large extended family shoot. They were high school sweet hearts, married early and immediately began their family that began with one girl and has expanded to three beautiful daughters, two son in laws, three grand children and i'm sure that's not the end of it. I hope that my husband and I look as in love in 30 years of marriage as these two. God bless them.

All in all.. they wanted outdoor photos, they didn't want to sit in a studio in front of a black background where i posed them. Nature is forever, natural is forever and not so sterile of a studio is definitely forever.

{ FAMILY PHOTO SESSION + FLOW RIGHT THROUGH MINI SESSIONS }

Just because you don't have a lot of time... doesn't mean you can't capture some amazing family photos. This family was part of a larger family photo session that included two other adult siblings, cousins and grandparents. Each individual family got their "mini" session during this session after the large family photo was over.
I've posted the images in order as they were taken. First we started with the family shot as the kids will get restless after long and ultimately you want that shot as soon as you can. I've captured one photo up close and another (the 2nd image in this series) further away. The third image is much closer and at a higher angle to get those toddler eyes wide open and looking up.
In between the full family and the parent/couple shot you want to sit and play and enjoy your babies for a moment. Give all kids of all ages a chance to break and not get burnt out on the camera. These two images are one of the kids just sitting and playing so I thought "what a perfect moment" and captured the siblings and dad holding his little girl before on to playing with her brother.
The final set images are of mom and dad (of course a beautiful couple). Starting with the "traditional" pose and having them in the same spot as the family photo and then moving in to a silly laughter moment capturing their still high school sweet heart romance. The last, but not least couple images are more intimate position. We brought her hair around and off to one side to give this image some framing outside of the posts that you now see are gone due to the tight cropping of the photo.
This session took a total of TWENTY minutes and that included moving, adjusting, posing and getting chidlren situated. I hope you enjoy this lovely family photo session as much as I do!
