Back in late May Toujours Photography was asked to take some pictures for a young violinist. Elizabeth Shoemaker spent the last few months performing around the Puget Sound area, raising money so she could attend the Lilienfeld Summer Academy in Vienna, Austria. After the Academy she will then perform at surrounding churches in Europe. It was a unique experience, we have never been asked to take these kinds of portrait pictures before and we shot pictures both in a home as well as the Olympia waterfront. The results were exciting.

Father’s Day Surprise, Sibling Pictures- Olympia, WA
Pictures can be a great surprise any time of the year and sibling pictures can be a neat present for Mom & Dad. In this case we had to take the pictures in February before Zoey left for Navy boot camp. We took the pictures without Mom & Dad knowing. Then Toujours Photography sent pictures to Mom in time for Mother’s Day and then sent some to Dad for Father’s Day. It was great timing, just as parents were thinking about their little girl and wondering where she would be heading in the world. As an added gift we took pictures of the kids with Dad’s Mom. Pictures speak to the heart!

Father’s Day pictures- Monroe, WA
Sometimes the best Father’s Day present can be family pictures. This year we were able to take pictures of some granddaughters and those pictures were given to their grandparents as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents. We were also able to capture the grandpa while holding one of his granddaughters which made a for a sweet addition to the Father’s Day gift. Pictures are a great present for anyone!
Taking pictures of children is a joy. It can also be a challenge since they like to move (hence the moving subject in the background).
Babies have the greatest smiles.
Sometimes you wonder what they’re thinking…
The unsuspecting Grandpa…
Pure joy!
Summer Flowers- Puget Sound, WA
We’re entering summer and it’s time to share our spring flower pictures. From parks to gardens there are so many beautiful species of plants around the Puget Sound. Our favorite place to take pictures is at a garden in Monroe, WA.
Lupine- Monroe, WA
It’s amazing how the sun brings out different colors in the same flower. Here is another Lupine flower but the sun makes it more red than pink. So beautiful!
