Our friends and fellow photographers, The Brauns, were recently in town from Ohio and wanted to take advantage of their time in the PNW for some family portraits. We hopped on a ferry and took a walk in the woods, quintessential PNW activities. One of our favorite things when photographing families is to be observers, allowing the family to enjoy their time together, allowing us to capture those real moments.

Jimmy and Madeline Maternity: Tacoma
Our friends, Jimmy & Madi are expecting a baby boy very soon! We are so thrilled for them. Especially because that means our Lucia will have another pal! Madi is one of the most beautiful pregnant women I have ever encountered. You know, the one with absolutely no swelling, all baby, and from behind she looks like a little hottie that is definitely not pregnant! Every girls dream. We love these two and are so excited for this amazing journey of parenthood they are about to embark on. Hearts exploding with love and joy. Parenthood is the greatest.

The MacDonald Family : Tacoma
We love our friends, the MacDonalds. Evan and Travis have known each other for more than 20 years, and have remained very close throughout all that time. Evan and Lindsay are both very talented individuals. In fact, Evan created our branding and designed our website. It is wonderful to see Evan and Lindsay’s family grow, and see the growth of the cute personalities of their little girls, Nina and Elena.

The Hanks Family : Bellevue
We were so excited when Ken and Brianna contacted us for a portrait session. We photographed their wedding nearly two years ago, and now they have a handsome little boy! It’s such a joy to be in this business and watch families grow. The Baptism gown baby X is wearing came over from Ireland over one hundred years ago, and every male on Ken’s side of the family has worn it. Amazing! I love traditions like that.













The Knowles Family : Tacoma, WA
We photographed Jeff and Vanessa’s wedding last year, so when they asked us to photograph their family, it was like a family reunion. We love them and their sweet daughters. Watching them interact with their girls was a treat, especially as we prepare to have a little girl of our own!

Max : Tacoma
We were all excited for Travis’ brother, Cory, and his wife, Danielle to have their first child. Danielle was beautiful as a pregnant woman, and is now a beautiful mother.


Travis and I were so happy to hear of Max’s arrival on Thursday. He is a perfect baby, and we love him so much.









Shannon, Derek & the Twins : Salt Lake City
While we were in Utah over Christmas, we had the opportunity to meet up with Shannon, Derek and their two beautiful girls, Evelyn and Emery, for a portrait session. Shannon and I met in a art school several years back, and it seemed to us that we were always friends. I will never forget the joyous news of her expecting a baby, because it was at our wedding reception! Little did we know then that she would have twins! Shannon is a photographer, a sweet mother and an amazing writer. Her family is beautiful.



















The Broadbent Family : Tacoma
We met the Broadbent family at Trevor and Sydney’s wedding early last year and were excited to meet up with them again for some quick family portraits over the Thanksgiving weekend.









The Flanigan Family : Tacoma
What can we say about the Flanigans? Sean oozes talent, Lidia is one of my favorite people on the planet, and Finn is a sweetheart. We love this family and were honored to photograph them on a recent rainy afternoon, especially since we’ve been fortunate to have been photographed by Sean twice in the last year.
