Family: Cantu

in

This sweet family was full of love and fun! They wanted some updated pictures of their whole family so we snatched up the opportunity while everyone was in town! We traipsed around the Point Defiance Rose Garden area for their session and found so many beautiful places to take pictures! The roses were in bloom and the dahlias were just starting to peek out, making for some gorgeous color variety!

Ramona arranged everyone's outfits and I love the colors she came up with! I wish I could make a coral dress look as good as Kaily can! And isn't little Zarina the cutest?! She was the star of the show! I cannot get enough of the shots we got of her with her daddy-prince at the end of our time together! Too much!

You can truly tell through these pictures how much this family adores each other. It never felt awkward asking them to snuggle a little closer or to be silly with one another. They were so at ease in front of the camera and with each other and we had a great time laughing together! There is so much to learn from an adult family who cares for each other like this!

Friendship: Garden Party

in

When you are pregnant and find out you are having a little girl, this is what your dreams are made of. Warm summer fields, crisp white dresses, delicate flower crowns, tea parties and sweet little giggles. When you find out two of your close friends are simultaneously pregnant with little girls, you cannot wait to watch them become friends so they can share these special memories together.

Now that our three girls are old enough to understand what friendship means, we had to capture their sweetness with a photo shoot. We had the best time gathering props and outfits to style the session. I simply adore the butterfly tea set! I am also thankful we found coordinating outfits for them to wear!

I had the absolute best time taking pictures of our girls and we are all hoping that this happens again someday!

Thirty: Candyce

When this lovely lady reached out to me to celebrate her birthday with an adult cake smash session, I could not have been more excited! It was so fun to make her vision some to life! Don't you just love that amazing red tulle skirt with her glittery heels? Candyce also made the delicious vanilla cake herself! 

After completing this project I was certain that this is how I will one day celebrate my thirtieth birthday! Only three years to go...
