Christine has been a long time friend of mine, we met while I was working as an Esthetcian in Tacoma several years ago and as luck would have it, her daughter in law, Amanda, is expecting another baby! I was super excited as I had just made tulle skirt (60 yards of tulle!) and I was dieing to try it out! Amanda came in to the studio and was pampered by my “glam squad” and had such a fun time during her Maternity Photoshoot!  Can I just say, I LOVE this skirt and Amanda looks so beautiful in it!  Congrats to Amanda and her family on the newest addition to their family!

I recently went to Kauai and I was so fortunate to be able to do a maternity session while I was there. I LOVE these images, this momma to be is gorgeous and to be able to shoot on the beach in the morning was phenomenal!
I met this mom at Hanalei Beach resort while hanging out at the pool and it turned out she was just talking about finding a photographer to do her maternity pictures, how fortuitous :).  We planned to meet at sunrise and it was so worth it!

Congrats to the parents and brother to be! Mahalo nui loa!

I was a little worried about this session as we had the family session at 1 pm and it was sunny…but I absolutely LOVED how this session turned out. Was a little overcast but the sun made an appearance which allowed me to capture some beautiful sun flares. This family is so beautiful and I enjoy photographing them!

I often provide gift vouchers to various organizations for auctions they hold and the last gift voucher was gifted to Jack and Jill Preschool in Tacoma, WA. I had the opportunity to photography this beautiful family.  These little girls were so precious! However, I could not get the little one to smile! None of my shenanigans worked. But she is still a cutie!

Eric has been a long time friend of mine and I was so excited to hear that he recently got married and they were expecting a baby boy!  So, while I was getting my tattoo by Eric (check him out, he’s the best! Arcadia Tattoo in Fife, WA) we were able to chat a little about scheduling a newborn photography session for his baby.

And here is his son, Mason!  Mason is so cute and I love all of the images I captured of this little man! Welcome to the world Mason and congrats to the new parents!
