Smiling Baby Boy | Issaquah Baby Photographer

April 24, 2016

A smiling baby melts my heart like no other. Especially when they flash those little smiles when they’re curled up next to momma. The parents usually don’t even know it’s happening and when they see all their photos for the first time, it melts their heart, too! Sweet little Luke has the most amazing little family. His big sister is his protector. It was obvious from the moment I met her that she was going to be the best big sister in the world. She was a natural when it came to holding him. And her eyes… let me tell you… sooooo pretty! I had a lot of favorites from their session so I tried my best to narrow them down. Hope you love them as much as I do!

Outdoor Maternity | Issaquah Baby Photographer

April 23, 2016

This outdoor maternity session was uniquely special to me because this was one of the first pregnant mommas I had photographed when I first started my business. I was so honored that she decided to come back to me for baby number two, and even more honored that I was able to photograph her pregnancy again! Only this time around, we included dad and soon-to-be big sister in the session as well! I admit, this blog post is coming pretty late. Their maternity session was done last fall at Lake Wilderness and while it was bit chilly outside, the sun was shining and the scenery was amazing. I’m sharing a few of my faves from their session, and if you want to have a look at her first maternity session (which was actually photographed in the mountains!) you can find that here.

*Please note that I am currently booking due dates into the fall of 2016. Please contact us for more information about scheduling your session.*

Little Three Week Old | Bellevue Newborn Photographer

April 9, 2016

This little three week old came to see me about a month before Christmas. (I know, I know. I’m super behind on blogging my sessions.) In fact, some of you might remember when I posted on my Facebook page that my husband came home with a Christmas Wreath and before I let him hang it on our door, I had to put a baby in it first. 😉 Well luckily for me, these clients LOVE Christmas and were all for my little reindeer set up!

Anyhow, this three week old baby girl was such a beauty! With her full head of dark hair and her gorgeous brown eyes peering at me, Abigail was the perfect baby. I think she was awake for all of 15 minutes, just long enough for me to capture a few of those eyes-wide-open shots that parents love so much. But I swaddled and swayed her and shortly after that, she was sound asleep. Her mom and dad weren’t totally sure if they wanted to be in the photos but I convinced them and I’m so glad I did. In fact, the family image from their session was most definitely one of my faves. (I think you’ll see why!)

Here are the photos I hand picked to share with you all. It was hard to choose but these were my favorites. Hope you love them as much as I do!

I am currently scheduling summer and fall due dates! Please contact me for information on how to schedule your newborn session.

Potato Sack Pose | Seattle Newborn Photographer

February 4, 2016

The potato sack pose is one that has become extremely popular in the world of newborn photography. I try to do it during every session but some clients aren’t as interested in getting that shot as they are in some of the others. When this little man came to see me for his newborn session, he was just a few days old and had the most gorgeous head of hair! I couldn’t have asked for a more cooperative little model. He was sound asleep for nearly all of his session and he even flashed a few smiles. His mom and dad had to travel quite a ways to come see me so I was thrilled that we were able to get some amazing photos for them. From the froggy pose, to the potato sack pose and all the others in between, little Jameson totally rocked his newborn session! I had a hard time choosing my favorites but here they are.

And if you’re a newborn photographer and would like to see a behind the scenes series of how to achieve the potato sack pose, click here.

10 month baby boy | Seattle outdoor beach session

February 2, 2016

This 10 month baby boy is a special little man indeed. He was born a few months premature and spent quite a bit of time in the NICU before receiving the green light to go home. When I met him for the first time, it was for his sitting up milestone session. Most babies are sitting pretty well without support around 7 months of age. Little Max took a bit longer to reach that milestone, so we waited a little longer to have his session. The great part was that the weather outside was amazing! Summer had just wrapped up and we still had a handful of gorgeous sunsets going into the fall season. I planned his session for the beach so we could capture a few of him on the horizon with the sun setting behind him. Max’s momma did a great job styling her family for the session, too! Their outfits and the colors were perfect for the setting. Technically, the session was a mini-session, but we ended up overshooting a bit and I even had a tough time deciding on my faves! Sharing a few here … sorry they’re so late! (This session was actually photographed back in October, believe it or not!)
