Happy New Year! I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus for the past few months due to being pregnant and having a baby 6 weeks ago. It’s been an amazing ride! After my daughter was born I decided it was time to get back into the swing of things and start building my photography business again. I LOVE taking photos of my baby girl and want to document every part of her life as she grows. She’s a great model! One of my New Year’s resolutions was to not only take my business to the next level, but also attend a photography workshop. I had the opportunity to attend “Shoot Camp” this past Saturday with a local photographer and I learned so much. The photo above was one of the pictures I took during our practice session. This workshop allowed me to regain my confidence, network with other photographers and learn tips and tricks of the business. My husband bought me a 50mm Nikkor lens for my birthday, which was in May and I honestly have not used it until this past weekend. Oh my! This lens is amazing! It is wonderful for portraits and I plan on using it a lot this year. So expect to see many changes soon…lots of new photos, updated blog and I’ll FINALLY have a website.

Meet Mr. Canin Uriah. He’s the cutest little guy. These pictures were taken when he was about 2 weeks old. He’s now 2 1/2 months old and growing up to be such a handsome little guy. It’s so precious to see a new life come into this world. Which makes me so anxious to meet my daughter Madeline Grace within the next 2 weeks. Jen (Canin’s mama) – thank you so much for letting me take these for you. I would love to take more pics of Canin as he continues to grow.

Here’s a sneak peek of baby Canin. He’s such a doll! Stay tuned for more photos of this handsome little guy.

Meet the newlyweds Heather and Justin O’Daniel. I apologize for the delay in posting their full post. They are the sweetest couple ever! They had a beautiful wedding located in the Orting area. The weather was just perfect. Can’t wait to see their relationship grow. Marriage is a beautiful thing! I look forward to little O’Daniel’s in the future so I can take prego and newborn pics. Congratulations Heather & Justin!

Here’s the full post of Jen & Steve’s maternity shoot. We had so much fun in downtown Tacoma scoping out places to take photos, and Steve made sure us pregnant ladies had a good lunch. Thanks Steve! Mr. Canin should be here within the next couple of weeks. I can’t wait to meet him and take some newbie photos.

Meet Jen, Steve and Baby Canin. I just love doing maternity photo shoots, especially when they are good friends of mine. Stay tuned for more photos!

I’ve known the Halverson’s for almost 13 years now, and it was a pleasure taking some updated family photos for them. We had a great time finding fun spots to take photos in their beautiful yard. Not to mention doesn’t Mr. & Mrs. Halverson look so in love? I love it! Thanks guys for letting me do this for you. Enjoy!
