Karl Family: Family Fun!

Meet the Karl Family! We headed out to the Olympia State Capitol building. It was a beautiful day outside a little bit cold, but not too bad. I have known the Karl family for many years now and it's so much to watch as their daughter grows up. It is always a blast with tons of laughs when we all get together... When Diana booked the family session she stated one reason she came to me was because she felt comfortable and I truly feel that is very important to feel comfortable during your session because then you allow yourself to open up and let the true person inside shine through.








The whole family including Lilly and Chico!













There is nothing better than to see the natural reaction on a kids face! What's better than to tickle your child and hear their wonderful laugh!











If you want to see a child having fun during a photo session why not be a kid!


The smile on Hannah's face is what every Photographer wants to capture a kid having fun! You can truly see that Hannah is enjoying life at the moment..... mission accomplished!

What's even better is the smile on Chris and Diana's face as they watch the little girl have fun!

Quincy: Dog Session!

Quincy is such a loveable dog and is always happy to see everyone! She lives in Tacoma with her buddy Jackson. While Michelle ( Quincy's owner) and I were in Salem, Oregon we found a park and took some portraits of Quincy. The last dog session I did was with Piper and Mable who are neighbors to Quincy. Michelle feels that if people can take their kids places why not be allowed to take Quincy! Truly Quincy is Michelle's baby and enjoys spending time at the park everyday with Jackson and Michelle! I was explaining to Michelle coffee table books that I'm working on and yes Michelle is ordering a coffee table book of Quincy that should explain the love Michelle has for her baby Quincy!

Soon Quincy and Michelle will be moving to Wenatchee together.

I want to wish Michelle and Quincy the best of luck in Wenatchee. Michelle will be starting a new job and she doesn't have any family in the area she is just adventourous! I'm sure there will be more fun portrait sessions together in the future!

Piper & Mable: Dog Session

It is so funny how these dogs let their personalities shine through these images. Piper you might remember is younger and has more energy than Mable. Mable is willing to sit and wait for piper to stop running circles around her! When we were letting the dogs play and just get some of their energy out Piper believed that it was her duty to stop every person who walked by us and smell them! This session started showing me that even dogs can express their feelings through photography.

Piper was loving the camera after she learne that Mable was getting attention while just sitting there.

She wanted to make sure we captured her "good" side.

I just love these dog paws!

Carrie & Piper!

These were some tired dogs!
