Family Outdoor Session | Seattle newborn photographer

November 7, 2014

This family outdoor session took place at a beautiful location in Maple Valley. So many gorgeous fall colors surrounded us; it wasn’t difficult to find some great options for them! I have known this momma for many, many years now. I had the pleasure of photographing her maternity session up in the snow at Snoqualmie Pass, and then her newborn session in my studio, and now, she and her family have come back for Aspen’s 6 month session. This time, we even got a few photos of their pup, too! Here are a few of my faves from their shoot. I really feel so honored to have such amazing people in my life! Can’t wait to photograph these guys again and again! If you would like to see this momma’s maternity session, you can see it here. And to see little Aspen’s newborn session, you can click here.

Outdoor Milestone Session | Seattle newborn photographer

November 6, 2014

Have I mentioned lately how much I love babies?! To be able to do an outdoor milestone session for this GORGEOUS little girl was like a dream come true! This little 7 month old was ALL smiles! From the minute I met her until she was leaving, she was the smiliest little bundle of cuteness, and she LOVED having her photos taken. The weather outside was simply beautiful. Sunny and warm with the lovely fall colors all around us. Keira was a complete joy to photograph from start to finish and I’m very much looking forward to having her in the studio for more portrait sessions! Here are a handful of my favorites from her outdoor milestone session.

Outdoor Newborn Mini Session | Seattle Newborn Photographer

November 5, 2014

When I decided to hold mini-sessions this fall, I knew I just HAD to have a newborn baby to photograph. Last spring, I photographed my very first outdoor newborn and instantly fell in love. There is so much natural beauty outside; it’s all around us! The biggest challenge isn’t in finding the right scenery, it’s in making sure baby is totally safe and comfortable. We don’t have a lot of ‘warm’ fall days here in the Seattle area, so when I saw that the weather was calling for sunshine and 75 degrees in late October, I jumped all over it! Of course, baby was wrapped and kept very warm the entire time. No direct sunlight and mom and dad were very close by him within arm’s reach the entire time. This little guy had an adorable big sister, whom we photographed as well, and of course, I adore the family image as well. When I posted his sneak peek on Facebook, I dubbed him ‘Barrett the Bear Cub’. Check out some of my faves from his session.

Outdoor Milestone session | Maple Valley Newborn Photographer

My last session at the tree farm was an outdoor milestone session with a little girl who I had the pleasure of photographing shortly after she was born. (You can see her newborn session here.) In fact, I have a gorgeous canvas of her newborn session hanging on the wall in my studio. It’s still one of my favorite newborn portraits! Well now, little Kennedy is now three months old and she has quite the little personality… so serious! This was my first time meeting her big brother, Carlton, and what a sweetheart he was! Such a good big brother and SUCH a little cutie! I loved how their outfits were coordinated just perfectly to match each other and stand out against the beautiful fall colors. I’m very much looking forward to continuing to watch this little one grow!

Fall Family Photos | Maple Valley newborn photographer

November 3, 2014

Here is another fall family photo session with someone who has been a friend of mine for many years! I was honored when she chose me to to photograph her maternity session and am very much looking forward to photographing her newborn baby girl in the next few weeks. Her oldest daughter is going to be an amazing big sister. We had such a great time at the tree farm and Avery is so unbelievably photogenic! The perfect little model in the front of the camera, too! Most of these photos were candid snapshots of her doing her thing. Photographing children can be such a pleasure; seeing their personalities come to life in front of the lens.
