Maternity Pictures- Olympia, WA

With Camille’s approaching arrival we realized it was about time to take some Wilson maternity pictures. Lilly loves giving kisses to her soon-to-be sister, Camille. It was a beautiful moment to capture.

 

 

James Wedding- Orting, WA

What a day in Washington for a wedding! It rained during the ceremony and the reception but the guests of the James’ wedding couldn’t have been happier. What a joyous occasion to be a part of. It was evident that those who attended the wedding were thrilled for the couple. We had the opportunity to capture beautiful, memorable moments as well as those times that reflected the couple’s personality (feeding one another the cake).

Senior Pictures- Monroe, WA

It’s that time again, time for senior pictures for the graduating class of 2011. We met William at Al Borlin Park in Monroe, WA, a great spot to get pictures by the water. It turned out to be a perfect afternoon, not too hot and the sun peeked out from time to time. We enjoyed taking traditional senior pictures as well as more rugged pictures that were characteristic of William.

Matthews Family Portrait- Tumwater Historical Park

We had the privilege of taking portraits of the Matthews family at Tumwater Historical Park, Olympia. What an awesome family, the kids hammed it up towards the end which made for some fun candid shots.

Sequim Lavender Festival- July 16, 2010

Last week Toujours Photography was at the Sequim Lavender Festival. It was a cloudy morning with afternoon sunshine and perfect for taking pictures. First we visited Sunshine Herb & Lavender Farm. Live music and lavender burgers made for a great start to our afternoon.

Secondly, we visited Lost Mountain Lavender Farm.

Last but not least we visited Purple Haze Lavender Farm which is known for its lavender ice cream and lavender iced tea. The sun came out making it the perfect end to a perfect day.

 

Joey & Kristi Wisniewski Wedding- Bellevue, WA

Wow, what an honor it was to be a part of the Wisniewski wedding a couple weeks ago. The bride & groom didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony so we took advantage of the bright and sunny weather and headed to Bellevue Park for some bridal portraits. Joey & his groomsmen took pictures at Bovee Park and later Joey & Kristi tied the knot at the First Free Methodist Church in Bellevue. Then the bride and groom danced the night away at the Marriott Hotel in Bellevue. I have never seen a bride and groom so loved and cherished as these two. Their genuine kindness was apparent and you could see that all those present were blessed by having Joey & Kristi in their lives.

 

Oregon road trip- Cannon Beach, Crater Lake & Portland

Last week we took a drive down the coast to Seaside and Cannon Beach. On top of Ecola State Park is an incredible view of Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock. Then we rounded out our trip by going to Crater Lake, Bend & Portland.

Two different views of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.

Crater Lake had quite a bit of snow.

Butchart Gardens- Victoria BC

What a treat it is to go to the gardens every couple of years. You can tell from the pictures that it was raining, but we didn’t let that get in the way for long. 55 acres of flowers, shrubs and trees, it was too beautiful not to take pictures, even in the rain!

 

This spot, with the reflection in the water reminded me of Giverny, where Monet lived and painted his famous water lilies.
