Brooke's Baptism

Here are a couple of pictures from Brooke's Baptism this past Sunday.  It was a wonderful day!  We had the baptism in the morning followed by a great party.  Brooke and Maddy both looked so beautiful in their gowns! 

Gracie

Also on Friday, I had a photo shoot with my neighbors across the street and their 3 week old baby girl Gracie.   I always forget just how tiny newborn babies are!  Well she was a trooper and let me take lots of pictures of her and her parents.  Gracie is one of a few new babies on the block. The others are still in their mommy's bellies, but they'll be out soon enough.  She may be a little young to appreciate it now, but how cool to have so many future friends right in the neighborhood!

Friday, May 2nd was May Day at the Annie Wright School Here in Tacoma.  I was able to photograph one of the seniors who was honored in the celebration.  Scarlet and her entire family were so great!  I want to thank them for letting me be a part of this special day.  Best of luck to you Scarlet as you venture of to College!

Color!

It is a lovely day in Tacoma!

I took a few shots of the beautiful flowers around the neighborhood today and wanted to share them.  Unfortunately the flowers on the tree by my house are in verying degrees of wiltedness.   But as you can see I'm trying to make the most of them :)

Before :)

This afternoon I had the opportunity to do a maternity shoot for my neighbors.  They were so great to work with!  I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you.  

Thank you so much Laurel and Derik, and we'll see you soon sweet little baby!

On the fence

Here are a few shots of Ezra from this morning.  I have 2 photo shoots today, so I thought I'd better warm up the camera :)

We are planting a little mini garden in the backyard.

Brooke and Madison

Can't take credit for this one!

Em took this shot of the girls on our outing to point defiance.  I played with the color a bit and added a little blur on the edges, it's so cute I had to show you!

Magnets

I have been in a magnet making craze the past couple of days!  I also finally got  flash for my camera, so I thought I'd show them both off!  

I am so excited to have my first two shoots this/next week!  

Make sure to check back soon to see how they went, and let me know what you think!  Tips feedback and suggestions are always appreciated!

Sick Days

Here are a few more pictures form this weekend.  Unfortunately little Ezzy is sick :(  So we didn't get out and about too much, these are all from around the house.

I love Goodwill!

So I found a new posing chair today at my local Goodwill store.  

As you can see it's pretty interesting/crazy-ish :)  My faithful assistant obliged to let me test out some shots with him in it out in the back yard.  I think Ezra is starting to warm up in front of the camera a little more, but then again he doesn't have much of a choice!

Fireman Ezra discovered how to turn on the garden hose.
