Fun day with this awesome family. You can see the love. They are so great.
This was such a fun shoot. She was up for anything! It rained...a lot...but it only added to the pictures. Thanks for being so great to work with and for getting your cute shoes dirty! :)


We got wet and dirty, but we had fun today. More to come soon...
The weather has changed, the leaves are turning. I think summer is officially over; at least for us Northwesterners. Enjoy the colors.
Every family has a doctor, a mechanic, a hair stylist; why doesn't every family have a photographer? Here at Nostalgia, we believe that every stage in a family's life is too important not to be captured. It should be affordable enough to not have to sacrifice. Each moment in life can create a memory. Unfortunately, few moments in life are captured. Emotion and life - that is what produces…Nostalgia. Invest in yourself, invest in your memories.
Nostalgia is excited to introduce a new idea to the photography industry. A photography membership. What are the advantages?
- Most importantly, the investment is not overlooked, you pay into it every month, you use it when you want.
- The investment is yours; use it how you wish – portrait sessions, special occasions, a gift card, put towards an upcoming wedding…
- Receive discounts on services and special offers only offered to membership holders.
Have you ever considered how you’d use your own personal photographer?
- Family portraits
- Baby portraits. Coverage through all stages.
- Maternity
- Senior portraits
- Family reunions
- Trash the dress session
- Boudoir session
- Give a gift
- Family day in the city? Bring your photographer.
- Traveling? Bring your photographer. (read more about Destination Photography)
So how does it work?
1 year, $25 set-up fee and $25 first time payment, then choose the level of your choice:
Level 1 - $27.00/ month offers you 2 hours a year ($33.50 savings)
Level 2 - $41.50/ month offers you a variety of combinations for portraits and special occasions with 3 hours a year ($43.50 savings)
Level 3 - $56.00/ month offers you the ability to be ready for any occasion with 4 hours a year ($59.00 savings)
Level 4 - $70.50/ month offers you all you would need to cover it all and still have a little put aside for an unexpected event/occasion with 5 hours a year ($74.50 savings)
This is your own personal photography bank account, if you will. You pay in and redeem as you want. Your investment can always be redeemed dollar for dollar of current value, however you choose.

We're very excited to announce that we will be exhibiting this year at the Winter Wedding Expo at the Tacoma Dome January 2nd and 3rd. We'll keep you updated, but stay tuned for upcoming pre-wedding show specials and incentives to come see us at the show.
I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting and working with the Magruder family for the first time. I had a great time. Isn't she just a doll??
I can't believe they are a year old already! Thanks Tricia and Brett for inviting me into your home again.
It was a beautiful day in Gig Harbor. Thanks for allowing me to share the day with you - it was great to see you both again. Congratulations!
The awesomeness of these little cute ones...
Congratulations! It was a beautiful day. You could tell everyone had fun. Best of wishes to you both. Thank you for allowing me to capture all your special moments on this special day.




Here is a sneak peek. We had so much fun! 20 years ago she got married in a pink wedding dress. Today, she celebrated 20 years with fun pictures in front of "the pink hotel" (Royal Hawaiin) on Waikiki Beach, Oahu. Lots more to come....
I got my hands on some great products from Katomco - local mother and artist who handcrafts beautiful designer baby accessories. I'm not a mom but I am always in the market for great new items to be used as props in my baby potraits. I just love her products. Here are a few pictures of just a couple of her products. Check-out the rest of her line here.
I love my job! It's so awesome to see how all the babies grow. This was my second session with Corbin and his parents. What a cutie!
Attending her "Pretty in Pink" themed 20th wedding anniversary party, she rocked her moms prom dress - affectionately referred to as "the dirty dress"! So awesome, so cute! She'll be "trashing" her wedding dress soon...stay tuned.
Congratulations to you both! It was such a beautiful wedding - hot but beautiful! :) Best of wishes to you and all your future adventures.
