I totally loved working with this family, photographing their sweet little girl. She is the first for this couple and she immediately had them all totally enchanted! Already her little personality is showing through! She has a strong spirit and is going to be a strong young lady. I look forward to watching her grow!

It was so fun to photograph little Logan and her mom and daddy. Logan is still pretty little for her age so she fit very snugly in her daddy’s arms and is quite the contrast to he tattoos. I love it when we can incorporate some of the family heritage into the photos as we did with the red scarf and dad’s tattoos. It makes the images so much more personal. Such a sweet little girl and fun little family! Congratulations to you guys!

I just had to share this shot I did yesterday of this precious little guy. He is two weeks new and was the surprise wedding present for one of our special bride and grooms from last year. This guy joins his big brother and sister to make a wonderful, fun family that we just love.  I was so happy to get to hold him yesterday. I just love getting my grandma groove on and this young man was just a dream!  He is such a serious little man! Welcome to the world Andrew!

I love meeting and photographing the babies of our former brides and grooms. I love trying to figure out whose eyes she has and whose nose! So sweet. Will and Penny brought little miss Angie to meet me not long ago. Such a cutie! Just posting one shot for this sneak peek but there will be more to come!

I can’t believe this little guy is a one year old already! It seems like just yesterday he was just a tiny newborn! He sure liked the cake his mommy made for him! Congratulations Peyton! Isn’t he just precious in that cowboy outfit. He is going to be a heart breaker! Watch out Mom and Dad!

First Year baby plans are so much fun. I get to see the little ones at 4 months,  8 months and 12 months so I really get to cover all phases of that first year. Most of our families opt for a 1st year book at the end of the sessions, while some make a canvas cluster for a wall in their home.

This little guy has been with us since he was a newborn. He is extra special to us as he is the son of a beautiful young lady who we also watched grow up. Second Generation!

How awesome!

I have been watching these sweet little girls grow up over the last year and it has been so much fun! This is one of the things I really like about our baby photography plans. I get to see the little ones three times during their first year and then we get to do a cake smash for the first birthday party! I have a few more cake smashes coming up this month! I can’t wait! It is just too much fun. If you have a little one with a birthday coming up — give me a call. A Cake Smash session is such a great time to capture those special moments.

I was just going through some of the photos I have been working on over the last month or so and I just had to share these images of this adorable newborn. I just loved this sweet little girl. Such a little cutie!

It was a wet wedding day last weekend for Jody and Jordan, but a few drops didn’t get in the way of a beautiful day. It started out with the girls getting ready at the Hampton Inn, followed by a sweet and sexy first look by the ferry. The two met on the ferry so it was fitting to have the ferry in the background. Then it was off to the church to  tie the knot, followed by a high energy reception at the Kitsap Golf and Country Club. The rain never did let up, and neither did the love and happiness of the day. Enjoy out the slide show from their day.
