Sweet little Tully – 5 weeks old here. She did great for being her age – usually I see newborns between the ages of 5 – 14 days. I was up for the challenge of working with an “older” newborn that day – but I was pleasantly surprised when she really didn’t give me a hard time at all! She let me use all sorts of fun props, without hardly a peep! Such a good girl!! Thanks to her mama for bringing her in to see me – I’m so glad we were able to squeeze her in before she really was too old!

Meet Amelia – a little peanut I’ve been very excited to meet for quite some time now. She happens to be my BFF’s new little niece, and the daughter of two of my of fellow high school alumni. Not only is Amelia a stunning little baby girl, she was really quite fun to work with! She even brought along a fancy little prop I’ve never worked with before. The girl already is rockin’ some bling! Her grandpa is a jeweler – and he made her her very first diamond ring.

D & J – congrats on a GORGEOUS baby girl, with possibly the most beautiful name I’ve ever heard in my whole life. And thank you so much for bringing her in to see me. It really is an honor! ]]> http://www.theportraitplaceweb.com/blog/amelia-seattle-newborn-photographer/feed/ 2 http://www.theportraitplaceweb.com/blog/sweet-baby-a-seattle-newborn-photographer/ http://www.theportraitplaceweb.com/blog/sweet-baby-a-seattle-newborn-photographer/#comments Sun, 02 Jan 2011 23:51:56 +0000 alecia silva http://www.theportraitplaceweb.com/blog/?p=442 NOTE: the images in this feed have been downsized or removed for copyright reasons.

Oh my, Miss A was quite fun to work with! Even at  just two weeks – her personality was already shining through! I have a feeling she’s going to be quite a curious little girl – most babies her age are still too busy sleeping to care about what’s going on in the world around them. But not her! When she was awake – she stayed that way, all bright eyed and busy tailed….for quite some time! Auntie Awesome finally took over, and got her nice and sleepy for me! Such a gorgeous little thing! Just look at her crazy long lashes – unbelievable!!

Meet Miss Lauren – isn’t she adorable?? I got the pleasure of meeting her and having a reunion of sorts with her Daddy & Mama (I haven’t seen them since shortly after high school!) – and we had so much fun in the studio. I think we were having too much fun because Lauren tried her best to stay awake for the party! I think she’s already taking after her daddy!!

This first shot made me literally made me cackle at my computer screen when I first saw it….it’s like she’s never seen something so amazing in her life! I’m thinking most likely it’s because she had just laid eyes on me….it couldn’t possible have been those giant studio lights in her face. No. I’m sure it was me.

I met up little Ari right around his 1st birthday a few weeks ago, and boy, oh boy was he a busy little guy. He wanted to be on the move the entire time we were at the park! I had a lot of fun chasing him around with my camera. At one point, I had daddy tossing him up in the air – and man, I wish I could have captured the sound of his belly laugh every time daddy sent him flying. It was SO adorable!!!

And seriously. How gorgeous is this family???
