In home newborn session, Seattle.

I’m so very pleased for this family of four. This mama is thrilled, especially when you are told it could be a long road to build your family. This sweet boy came into the world a a bit before Christmas, and was warmly welcomed by two adoring parents, a dog and his adorable big sister.

This family braved the weather for our mini session, which was held when it was less than 40 degrees.

A gorgeous and grateful family. This mother told me her son is her “dream come true.” He’s cherished, supported and I truly believe each day this mom and dad are so thankful to have this bundle of joy in their lives.

First birthday celebration

I can’t believe little Miss M is already one. The day was hot, smokey and held during a pandemic. It was also just weeks before remote learning was going to start for this sweetest big brother. This family was so laid back and Miss M had the cutest setup for her backyard celebration. Following in her big brother’s footsteps, she bypassed the cake and only wanted to consume the fruit. She’s one, she knows how delicious strawberries taste in August. Happy birthday sweet girl!

Fall family session, Seattle.

I had a wonderful fall session with this long time client of mine. I first met this to be mom and dad when they were pregnant with their daughter, who is now seven. It’s hard to believe these beautiful and loving children are already seven and five! I was able take a stroll with in a park and play with their kids, while having meaningful conversations with the parents. I don’t think this time could have gone any smoother, and I’m truly thankful I get clients such as these.

Indoor family / newborn session - away from Seattle.

I couldn’t wait to meet this darling! He is the baby of my dear friend, who no longer lives in Seattle. We each hopped a plane and met in Iceland for a handful of days. I was imagining epic backdrops for this session, but we quickly realized that wasn’t going to happen during our stay. It was beautifully frigid outside, and this baby stayed happily bundled in many layers during our outdoor excursions.

Our last couple of days, we rented a cute apartment with great natural light. We had a relaxing morning hanging out with this baby, and capturing the love he shares with his parents.

Family Session - Edmonds, WA

I met this adorable family, and I couldn’t stop smiling. The children were curious, full of giggles and enjoying the moments around them. I couldn’t ask for anything more! When the whole family loved on one another, everyone was glowing and you could easily see how much this Mom and Dad adore their children.

Seattle Breastfeeding Session

This Mama is amazing, and I thank her so very much for allowing me to use these images. We had a warm summer evening, and found a lovely spot on the beach to allow her son to feed without too much chaos in the background. This little man gave me some serious looks when we got him down to his diaper. By the time we were done, he was smiles again. Of course, he was happy to breastfeed with his Mama and get that warmth and snuggles. This Mom is in school, studying to be a Women’s health nurse practitioner. She also became a birth doula, and has attended multiple births. I was so happy to provide this family with these images, such an intimate and beautiful bond.

Fall Family Session - Luther Burbank

This family melts my heart, and watching these siblings interact bring out such sweet moments. They play together, hold hands and genuinely enjoy one another. Jennifer and Chris are playful and engaged with their children, and their furry family member is always near.

We were so lucky to have such a beautiful day for their photo session!

Fall Family Session - Golden Gardens

It's worth it to get to the beach before it's crowded, which I'll admit isn't that hard when it's November. This family is a gem, and these kids are so much fun! One is enrolled in an outdoor preschool, so she never minded the elements. The older brother has grown so much since I last saw him, and it's hard to believe he's already in kindergarten!

Fall Family Session - Discovery Park

I first met this family a few years ago, when this boy was two. I see them each year before the holiday season, and so far it has always been a day that's really cold and dry. I wish I could have warmed this day up, as it wasn't even 40 degrees. This kid is a trooper and has such warm and loving parents. He's currently on the countdown until Christmas!
