seattle - the portrait place - seattle newborn photographer alecia silva

I was contacted by another local photographer to do a newborn session for the newest member of her family, little man Blake. He was a really good little sleeper…up until the end when we wanted to go for the family shot that his mama wanted so bad! We tried and tried (for 2 hours!), but he wasn’t going to budge. He was awake. And that was that!

So we decided to give it a go with him awake, and thankfully it worked! It was fun to work with another photographer, it’s always fun to talk shop with others who share the same interest and not sound like a total photog nerd! Lol! Thank you Emi for bringing your little man in – and thank you for being patient. It paid off!

A few months ago, I was contacted by the ridiculously gorgeous, funny & uber talented Beth Jansen asking if I wanted to be featured as one of PhotoVision’s child & newborn photographers for their 2012 series of educational DVD’s for professional photographers. I jumped on the chance to work with Beth and the crew – and I’m so glad I did! What a fun experience! Ed Pierce and his boys made me feel at home right away – and by the time they left I felt like I’d known them all for years. Lots and lots of laughing going during filming. I’m hoping some of it ends up on some sort of gag real….(ahem, Ed!). We started out doing a child shoot with one of the most gorgeous little 5 year old girls I’ve ever laid eyes on! She was great – even with all these strange men and their video cameras chasing she and I around. I finished her gallery and wanted to share a few of my favorites!

Stay tuned for part two…the newborns! In the meantime, enjoy this little sweetie, her gorgeous smile and her amazing head of hair!
