It was so nice,

to be out outside again after seemingly weeks of chilly spring weather.  It's fathers day, the grills are rolling and everyone seems to be out today catching some sun.   We did mange to find a few secluded spots in the park to get some family pictures taken.  Amy and her family are nieghbors of mine, and Ezra has been going to her daycare for over a year, so it was especially nice to be able to take some time to get to know them all a bit more.  These guys are such a close bunch!!

Low Tide

Last Friday, at 2:42 PM, was the lowest tide we have had in Tacoma in over 50 years!  Ezra and I and some friends went to the beach to check out some sea life!  But the kids had much more fun climbing on the rocks.

The Gardener

Ezra has been wanting to spend all his time outside lately!  Here are some pictures of him watering the garden.  A job he takes very seriously :)

AJ

I had my first senior session today in Tacoma!  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

The Blue Girls

Today I had a shoot with my friend Jessica Blue and her two girls.  We had a great time shooting at home and at Point Defiance.  Here are a few of my favorites (there were lots to choose from!).

Irises are blooming!

Studio

I am currently setting up a studio area in my home.  I was playing around with the flash and black back drop.  Since Ezra didn't feel like modeling for me, I was just getting shots of a chair.  Then Ezra wanted to shoot some photos (on a tripod of coarse).  Here is a shot he got of me!   Quite the little photographer :)

Fun in the Sun

On Saturday I had a Photo Shoot with Gina and her girls Monica, Amara and Alissa.  It was a beautiful day and we shot at a great waterside park.  Gina, it was so nice to meet you and your girls.  Good luck with your coming move!

A Beautiful Day!

We have had some simply spectacular weather the past couple of days!  I really could not have asked for anything better.  We stayed outside all day enjoying the heat and the hammock that Mike set up :)  Here are a couple shots of Ez, and of some flowers that were illuminated by the sun rays.
