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???

I always tell people that my favorite type of photography is newborn photography….but this session had me questioning whether or not that was true! I had so much fun with this sweet family – such nice people, and pretty darn good lookin’ too! Little Ben was such a sweet, gentle boy – he had such a kind smile and his eyes…..oh, my goodness, those eyes of his were pretty much channeling heaven.

Thank you guys for such a fun session, I  look forward to working with you again!

This one just cracked me up! I told him to kiss Daddy and instead, he decided to show off his kissy face!

Miss Em came to see me again – this time outside and it was super fun! When she smiles, her whole face lights up! She’s going through just a teeny bit of “mama walking out of her sight” anxiety, but even when she has a boo-boo face, she’s adorable! This was another super fun outdoor session. I’m loving these now that the weather is getting better!

I was so excited to finally meet this little cutie patootie! His mama called me for newborn pictures last year when Cole was first born, but sadly I had to turn them down as I was on maternity leave. Well, Mr. Cole is now 1 and I finally got the chance to work with him. He’s was a super sweet, mellow little fellow and I had so much fun with him and his parents! Isn’t he just the sweetest? And check out his daddy’s tattoo – isn’t it awesome!?!

I met up with this family last weekend at Point Defiance Park, and we all had a blast! Aren’t they a stunning family? Not only were they good lookin’ – they made the entire session super fun, interacting really well with each other – and it shows in the pictures! Mama was a bit worried that Little Miss K wouldn’t warm up to me and my camera, but it only took her about 30 seconds, and she was my little BFF! An absolute dream to photograph! I’ll come blow bubbles with you guys any day! It was so nice to meet you all!
