A Family | Tacoma Family Portraits

Now this was a surprise, there was only ONE family in all of 2012 with the first name beginning with A!  Please join me for their chilly but adorable family portraits taken in Tacoma near the UW buildings.  We were so lucky to find fall colors even through the wind and rain had begun to rip them away in most other locations.

Boy how cute is this family?!  I thought it was so sweet that the older girls wanted pictures with their parents.

Then we got a little time with just the Mrs. and Ms. A's.  Little Miss A was good at smiling, but she was even better at jumping and smiling at the same time!

And little Mr. A was so good and agreeable. 

The Big L Family

I have worked with one branch of the L family for a few years now and was excited to hear that the grandparents were coming to town!  I couldn't wait to meet them and watch all the interactions between the families.  Sure enough, getting the two families and two sets of grandparents all together means a lot of commotion and a lot of fun as well.  I hope you enjoy this overview of our time together!



In a group this size, there's always one who wants (and tries) to run away!

The grandparents with the grandkids...

The whole family!

The grandkids each had a turn by themselves...

And the men had a few turns too...

Summer Families Part 4 |Puyallup and Tacoma Family Portraits

Oh my, the L Family is so full of life and fun, you will NOT stop to catch your breath from laughing and talking when you are with them.  They also met me at an abandoned barn in the Puyallup and Tacoma area.  The evening was well over 90 degrees but everyone was hydrated and we had shade!
The L Family recently welcomed a new little one.  I had the priviledge of capturing Mrs. L's beautiful maternity a few months ago and now it is time to get a full family picture with Little One out here where we can see and enjoy him. 
I think you will get a feeling for the amazing energy this family brings with them.  One little guy was not sure of me but we decided to capture the pictures anyway since they are a part of a memory and a stage of life. 
Please sit back and enjoy the L Family!

The T Family | Puyallup Family Portraits

When Mrs. T asked me to do family portraits for her, I knew it was going to be fun!  Mr & Mrs. T have five kiddos and Mrs. T is an avid quilter.   I figured the quilts should have their share of the portraits as well.  And look how well that turned out.  Meet Mr. & Mrs. T!



Puyallup Family Portraits

   The kids are just a hoot.  I expected slightly more challenging than my own, but I was wrong.  Each one had a precious curious nature and played along with my imaginary tools to help bring out their great natural smiles.

Please meet the newest edition, little Miss I - really the roundest little lady I ever did see!



3 month old Miss I

 And then there's the "sorta big sister" little Miss L.  It took her a while to warm up to me but when she did she was a wonderful pleasure to work with.


2 year old Miss L

 Next is the BIG SISTER Miss M.  She's a princess in training!  And she was quick to inform me that the fairies I told her were hiding in my lantern were pretend!  GASP!  What a fun little girl to play with this evening!


3 year old Miss M

 The second oldest is Mr. J.  Although in person he would not let me call him Mister anything. :)  He's a spunky and fun guy who likes to run and play.  Thank goodness we took several breaks to run up the hill or to the woods & back!


4 year old J

 And the oldest of this bunch is a sweet thoughtful boy Mr. S.  He wanted to strike a very thoughtful pose, sitting in the chair just like a daddy would.


6 year old Mr. S

 The light at this time of night was perfect.  Nearly no glare, no heat and the kids were so well behaved!  I hope you all have a great night T Family!  See you again soon!
