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!

Lillian was such a sweet baby to work with. She was really a dream to work with! Not only was she super mellow, she was ridiculously pretty – those lips are do DIE for! Thanks Jenna for bringing her in to see me. Enjoy your sneak peek!!

This little sweater & hat set (below) is a family heirloom – many generations before Lillian have worn it and had their pictures taken in it. I was so happy to participate in that tradition!

Can you believe it’s already half way through July and I’m just now posting about July’s mentoring session? I have been a busy girl – my wonderful husband Jason and I decided to build an in home studio – and it’s finally done! It was a busy summer, all 3 kids home from school and the house was under construction, but I’m SO glad we did it! I’ll post pictures of the new studio later…

Now I want you to check out these two deliciously adorable babies who modeled during July’s newborn photography mentoring session. I really can’t get enough of these sweet babies!! seattle newborn photographer

Well hello! Have you all missed me? I’ve been a BUSY girl these days!!

A few months ago, my sweet husband and I made the decision to build a studio here at home! I’ve rented a studio space for almost 5 years, and while it’s been wonderful to have my own space – this new studio is so much better and a much needed change. I had a vision and it came to life through the most amazing construction company American Dream Design Build. The entire staff was outstanding – this project was done with all 3 kids home from school for the summer and I was blown at how easy it was to deal with the construction!

I plan on doing an entire before & after post with lots of pictures (I’m hearing you fellow photographers – don’t worry, it’s coming soon!). Construction is done, and now it’s time to move in and get all set up for my first mentoring session which will take place on September 12. I’ve got lots to do before then!

Now are you all ready for some cuteness?? Little Miss Eden was my very last newborn in my old studio, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with that gorgeous little girl! I will let the pictures speak for themselves. She was a little angel!
