Creme Brulee Cuties

Here's a few of the cutie pies that I took portraits of at Creme Brulee. I'll have to post more later, everyone of the kids was just so adorable.

When it rains...it pours!

The title has two meanings. Yet another beautiful senior. I'm doing 5 more senior sessions this week, yikes!!! I'll let you know if I sleep at all in the next few days. The second meaning is that we did this entire shoot in the pouring rain. Luckily we had Chelsie's Mom holding an umbrella over her all day. I had an assistant (thank you Sue) holding an umbrella over me. I would set the shot up and have Mom run out of the picture...pose, shoot, pose, shoot...bring back the umbrella. Then we'd do it all again. The pictures are stunning!!! The rain just made all the color saturated and beautiful. When you live in the state of Washington, you have to learn to work around the rain any way possible. Thank you Chelsie and Kim for being troopers and taking a chance on the rain...and me!

My Nephew...

I know...isn't he cute!!!

The Posten Family

These guys were hilarious!!! They kept me laughing the entire session. It was a pretty crazy session. It was pouring down rain as I was loading my fabulous green couch into my car. I was totally freaking out that my shoot would be rained out and I couldn't use my couch. As I drove out of my neighborhood I could see blue skies in the direction I was heading. So I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
When we got to the location the gray skies were starting to roll in. These three boy's grabbed my couch and carried it over their heads like giant ants. We plopped it down in the middle of this field and I snapped off a few shots. Within 10 minutes it was starting to rain. The boys picked up the couch again and hiked back to my car and loaded it. By this time it was pouring. We huddled under umbrellas and finished out the shoot with some individual shots of everyone in minutes. From start to finish the entire session lasted 20 minutes. Other than the fact that I took fewer pictures than any other session you wouldn't be able to tell. The pictures turned out fantastic!

Aubrey

While I was uploading these pictures from my camera my 11 year daughter Taylor came up behind me to look. As soon as she saw them she said, "jeez mom, another gorgeous girl. Your clients sure are beautiful." She's right, they are! Which makes my job easy because all they would have to do is stand there and the pictures would look great. Now turn the chin, pop a hip, or put their hands on their hips and WHAM...they look stunning. Aubrey wasn't just beautiful though, she was as sweet as can be.

WOW!!!

It's the end of the year senior rush and I'm loving it. Check out Madi, she was such and awesome model! She only needed the tiniest bit of instruction and she would pose like a pro. Not only was she easy to take pictures of, she was a joy to hang out with for a few hours. We trucked into downtown Tacoma for her shoot and had ourselves a bit of an adventure. From the crazy guy who followed us, the crack head lady who screamed at us on to the weird-o who wanted to take pictures with me (no I did not let him). It was a day I'm sure Madi is not going to forget!

Seniors Rock!

Seniors are my favorite type of portrait session because they're up for anything. Let's not forget that they don't run away or hide their face when you point the camera at them either! Boys are a little harder because they aren't usually thrilled to be getting their picture taken but I still love it. Here's a few shots from today's senior session. I pretty much think they rock which is saying a lot because I am my worst critic!
