More Sweetness from the Zimmermanns

Just sharing some sweetness from one of my favorite little families!  I ♥ these four.

Introducing a Child's Joy.

Okay, this hasn't been updated in a while.  Mainly due to a drawn out move we recently underwent.  It kept me from shooting for multiple reasons.  Which is a supper bummer because our Sept was so beautiful this year it was ridiculous.  But all that aside I recently shot a wedding and had two family portrait sessions all back to back.  I'm not going to share the bulk just yet because I like my clients to view those before the general public (unless I have permission to do otherwise), but I wanted to share one little capture from the Zimmermann's shoot.  This is little Nate.  This was more of a causal capture than an intended one, but the joy on his face made me smile so big I had to share.  I even added a close up shot, he's just that cute.

Jude's 4yr Photo

I haven't  been shooting much these days due to our unexpected move and lack of convient transportation.  I did, however, take a minute to bribe Jude for some 4 year photos since his birthday is creeping up.  This is only one shot, we did some with him as a super hero to go along with his party theme, but this one was just so perfectly him I am in love with it and had to post.

Two Little Girls

I have to say these two girls make me smile and I'm super happy to be back editing this set.  This is a concept shoot I've wanted to do for a long time, a little girls tea party.  The location was complete luck; a park near us where they let the grass grow out due to budget cuts.  They cut the grass the DAY after these were taken!  I think the tall grass really helps to add whimsy, like this could be anywhere in the country side, not just some park in the middle of Tacoma.  Concept shoots as a whole have been something I've been scheming to accomplish.  Since most clients want something more natural these typically have to be fit in on my own time.  This shoot was both for myself and for Kimi, the two cuties mother, so it turned out to be mutually beneficial.  Now I just have to scheme to get a new camera that can keep up with my new designs.

Tea for Teddy?

Okay.... couldn't help it.  One more.  View large, the thumnail view makes it a little wonky for this one.

It's a Tea Party!

So I've wanted to start expanding and doing more concept shoots lately.  Luckily I have friends willing to go along with my ideas.  Kimi was kind enough to allow me the loan of her two adorable daughters for a "Tea Party" in the grass.  They were very good little models, and the cookies helped :)  I have some other work to finish up before I can edit the full set, but I had, HAD, to get a preview up.  I was going for a little bit of a dreamy look, hence the slight blow out, but I'm not sure if it's what I intended or not.  Thoughts are appreciated!

The Tie That Binds

It's the moments like this that remind me of why I do what I do ♥
