Expecting Ethan | Seattle Tacoma Maternity Photographer

This is my brother, Ryan, momma-to-be Jamie, and my little adorable niece Zoie.  Now there is 4!  Little brother Ethan was born earlt Saturday and boy is he precious.  So, I am a tad bit behind on blogging their maternity session, what can I say.  The plumber has rusty pipes and the photographer’s family has to wait extra long for the world to see them on my blog :)   And the wait won’t be too much longer before you will be seeing baby Ethan too!

Happy {Belated} Valentine’s day | Tacoma Child Photographer

Oops!  I totally forgot to post these on Valentine’s Day!  I blame it on packing for Denver.  Well, better late than never I always say.  Hope you all had a sweet day, we sure did.

Living The Dream

I am back!  I was gone all last week at an amazing workshop in Denver CO called “Living The Dream.”  I learned a lot and I am very excited to implement a few changes to be more successful and better serve all my wonderful clients!  I am still catching up on all the emails and work that always piles up when you are out of the office.  But I will be posting a few fun pics soon.  Hope you are all having a great week!

Let’s Make Cupcakes!

Last weekend my niece come over to have a “sleepover” with Avery, and we decided to make some Valentine’s Day cupcakes.  It was fun….and REALLY messy!  I think there were a ton more sprinkles on the table and floor than on the actual cupcakes.  Avery keep dipping her spreading knife in the frosting, taking a long look at it, and then stuffing it all in her mouth.  Those two were definitely sugared out, no wonder they didn’t want anything to do with going to bed.  Those were some darn good cupcakes, however, I couldn’t stop eating them!  Here are a few snapshots I got, couldn’t resist…cupcakes_blog

Kelly | Tacoma Maternity Photographer

I am so excited for Kelly’s baby girl to come!  This is the second set of maternity portraits I did for Kelly, in the fall we did some holiday/maternity portraits with her hubby.  This time it was all about Kelly!  The best part, it was also her birthday.  I think that is pretty special.  Kelly gave me a lot of creative control and we had tons of fun.  I love all the cute props she brought too.  Kelly is having Sophie hopefully right on time on March 5th.  I already have tons of  cute ideas for her newborn session., can’t wait.  I love the glow every expecting mother has, I wish it never went away.

A little sunshine | Edgewood Child Photographer

I love the random breaks in the rain this time of year.  As soon as I see that sun peaking through the clouds we are heading outside.  Avery loves the sun too!

Riley | Orting Newborn Baby Photographer

What a gorgeous little baby girl!  We were fighting to get some good light on this dreary winter day, but I made it work and got some great portraits for momma.  I love all the colors in these images, it goes so well with this family.  They are such happy cheerful people, and I love when mom comes to her view & choose appointments she laughs non-stop and fills my office with such happiness.  Riley was the first baby born at Enumclaw Hospital in 2010…and she was born on Jan. 3rd!  That is small town Washington for you.  And just for fun here is the family “before” too.

Payton | Seattle Newborn Photographer

P is for….Payton!  Meet the newest addition to one of the cutest families I know.  I have been photographing her big sister over the last year, her first year to be exact.  So what did she get for her first birthdy?  A baby sister of course.  I can only imagine the fun these two are going to have growing up together.  Payton had tons of dark soft hair and beautiful blue eyes.  She was a great model for some of my newest props and I couldn’t be more happy with how these portraits turned out.  I told you I have been photographing an explosion of babies lately, see I wasn’t kidding.  I LOVE it though, and look forward to each and every newborn session I do.  Funny thing, just a year ago I was so anxious before each newborn session, what a difference just a year of practice makes.  I can’t wait to see some of these enlarged in the nursery of their new house!

Caleb | Seattle newborn baby photographer

Meet baby Caleb!  What a tiny little sweetheart he was.  So sleepy when I first arrived, he just let me move him and mold him without complaint.  It is so amazing to just watch babies sleep, the little faces they make, their twitching lips, the heavy sound of their breath.  I am glad I get to work with so many babies to get my baby fix :)   Like I have said before, I LOVE incorporating personal items into sessions, and this was no exception.  The lovely patchwork blanket in the last portrait was specially made from flannel shirts, shirts that belonged to mommy’s dad who passed away.  What a special reminder and way to celebrate someone important.  There was even a photo printed on fabric, of her and her dad.  I love the though that went into that and I was so glad I was able to incorporate it.   I am even more excited because this is one of three cousins I will be photographing regularly this year, all three months apart, and I can’t wait to get a portrait of them all together!
