Katie Tyree Photography: 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.
