Alivia | Class of 2014 | Spanaway Senior Portraits



 

Summer winds down and school is in the air.  Especially for this year's senior high students!  This is the best time to get senior portraits done!  The sun, the hours, the opportunity to showcase your passions and talents!  I only take on senior clients as a special request, but Alivia and I had such a great time I may be open to doing this more often!  Alivia is about to be a senior at a local high school and she chose two locations that mean a lot to her.  The first place we stopped was at Mountain Meadow Lavender Farm.  The summer has been so warm and sunny that they had begun harvesting the lavender a few weeks prior to this session.  But there were still so many great things about their farm, we just had a blast! 

 

The second location we visited was a nearby farm that belongs to friends of Alivia's family.  She has spent a lot of time here and is one of the places she is the most comfortable.

Alivia is a great friend who loves to exercise her creative side.  Her big heart and generous nature is easy to see and easy to love.

So have a great year Alivia!  I loved getting to know you and have a small part in celebrating this season in your life!

The U Family | Spokane Family Portraits

Spokane is such a fun place!  It's a dry heat, can be breezy at times and there is always a source of water nearby.  For my parents, they not only have a creek within a few minutes walk of their back yard, they also have created a pond where my siblings and I used to make mud holes.  

 

Mrs. U has made this a great welcome spot, shady and easy to relax.  The grandkids and dog like to dip their feet, chase the fish and toss in their play fishingpoles. 

Since we try to always take a picture of the grandkids together each summer, this year we decided to do it right here at Grandma's Pond.  I asked each of them to test out my spot, a shady rock on the far side of the pond.  I let them pose themselves and this is what they chose to do...

 

Yessir, we have quite the variety among 8 grandkids!  

 We also managed to get all the girl cousins together.

We even had time for my brother.

 

 

Wait, Mr. & Mrs. U should get a chance too, right?

Thanks so much for visiting with The U Family and grandkids!

Aly and Zach | Part 2 | Tacoma Wedding Photography

Welcome to the continuation of Aly and Zach's wedding day!  Lovely Tacoma weather was moody, alternating from sunshine to overcast skies, threatening to rain but never when we needed to be outside.  We began the family portraits at Parkland Lutheran church and it is just gorgeous!  They have a beautiful sanctuary.  Aly and Zach chose to keep the simplicity of the church and add their personal touches.

Congratulations Zach and Aly!

 

 

 

 

 

After the signing of the marriage certificate, the bride and groom zipped off to their fun and personal reception at the Star Center.

 

 

 

The wedding cake was actually made of cereal treats.   The bride and groom (see next photo) had quite the time getting the knife through!  The groom's cake was a great surprise for him.

 

 

 

 

The toasts were given and many tears were shed.  The father of the bride made everyone laugh and cry.  The maid of honor made everyone feel like a friend of the bride.  And the groomsman had the room laughing. 

 

After dinner the dancing began with the bride and groom's first dance.

And they welcomed others to join them.

 

 

The Father of the Bride gets a moment with his girl.

 

 

The Mother of the Groom also gets a moment with her son.

 

And the party really got started...

 

 

 

Quick, let's reign it back in with something expected! 

Ah yes, the toss of the bridal bouquet....

 

 

 

 

 

And the garter toss... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. M!
