Sarah and Julian : Tacoma Portraits

As part of a recent mentor session with photographer Tina Loveridge, we photographed Sarah and Julian around downtown Tacoma. We had a blast getting up close and personal with these lovebirds while sharing a bit of our approach and passion with Tina. Aren’t they gorgeous?!

Christina and Ryan : Tacoma Engagements

We had so much fun photographing Christina and Ryan. They’re up for anything, and it so obvious they’ve got it bad for each other. She is from the Pacific Northwest and he had been up in Alaska working for several months, so the cold, wet weather definitely didn’t phase them. There is something so magical about this time of year. It is so refreshing to have that brisk air, crunchy leaves and moss growing by the minute. Throw a gorgeous couple into the mix and it can’t be beat! We can’t wait for their December wedding!

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.

Adrian and Melissa : Tacoma

We like to photograph our dear friends, Adrian and Melissa. In fact, we try to do it once a year. We spent time traveling around, exploring some of our local treasures. We’re really going to miss these two as they move to New York so Melissa can study at NYU, but we are so happy for them and what the future holds!Adrian-and-Melissa-2012-Web-5

Jeff and Alise : Tacoma

We love the Marshes, and being able to spend time with them is pleasure. Here are a few portraits we shot of them earlier in the month for their Christmas card. It was nice to see these woodland creatures in their natural habitat. Someday we’ll stop shooting in forests so much, but I don’t anticipate that happening soon.

Roger and Lyndzee : Tacoma

Our glorious friends, Roger and Lyndzee, came up from California to celebrate their ninth anniversary. They loved the trees and the fall colors but weren’t so crazy about the cold. We had a great time laughing and picture-taking with these two!

Brandon and Sadie : Tacoma

Brandon and Sadie are one of our couples that got married in 2010. We love these guys and were excited when they came up from Utah to visit the Puget Sound area and check out the UW campus. We showed them around the area and took advantage of a few minutes to take a couple of portraits. Brandon and Sadie love outdoor adventures and both drive Subarus. These guys belong in the PNW.
