It’s that time of year again! Twice a year I open SJP’s books for mini sessions! Once near Thanksgiving and once near Mother’s Day. I dreamt of a day these sessions would fill with previous clients I could continue to support as they’ve supported me before I ever made an announcement and that day is […]

This is my last Auburn Family Photography Mini session to blog from November! I’m using it as a reminder that I do family photography just twice a year. Once in November near Thanksgiving and once in May for Mother’s Day. I know how hard it can be to find a photographer you click with and […]

The Rowden Family was referred to SJP for Winter Mini Sessions by long time SJP family, Alex & Gary! The two families are close friends and its always so nice to have people in common! Jelena contacted me on Facebook after booking at shopsjp. I love that we got to chat there before the session […]

The SJP Blog is no stranger to this sweet family! Kayela & Austin were my very last nanny family before I left to work for SJP full time. I love documenting milestones and family portraits for the Bridge family every chance I get! Kayela and her boys were the first family to arrive for Christmas […]

So last Saturday, hu guys?! That was crazy. Almost everyone could reschedule for minis sessions for the following Saturday, thank goodness! Alicia’s family works on a unique schedule that requires them to work most Saturdays. They had taken the day off just for photos and everyone was dressed and ready to go. When I called […]

A VERY HAPPY 31st Birthday to my #1 partner in Business. #1 Partner in Parenthood. #1 Partner in life. Happy Birthday Clynn! This blogpost is quick and “scribbly” (as Jamie would say) because you would rather I spend more time with YOU than be here blogging ABOUT you. ♥ My love language is best represented […]

Most photographer’s dream of families who come back time and time again. Long time followers of SJP know Deveaux has been a huge part of SJP’s journey. This little babe has been a part of an SJP maternity session staring the show in Alex’s belly, one of my first newborn sessions, meeting again for her […]

Allow me to elaborate on my position as a Tacoma Washington (and surrounding area) Mini Sessions Photographer. Good morning blogger-family! ♥ I am hopping in the blog today to talk a little about how SJP is building “Mini Sessions” to be more and a little different than what you’re probably used to seeing sponsored around […]

Kayela and Austin carefully selected the Pioneer Square Studio as their Maternity Photo Session Location! Kayela, Austin, and Parker were my last nanny family (I worked with 4-5 families during my nannying days) before leaving the nanny world for photography! Parker and Jamie played several days a week and Jamie learned how to be gentle […]

Before even seeing my sample galleries, Tess & Cameron were pretty certain they wanted their Olympia Engagement Photos at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge! I first met Tess, Cameron, and baby Isolde at the 222 Market in Olympia, Washington. There’s this adorable Cafè known as “The Bread Peddler” inside that I LOVE meeting my potential couples in […]
