Beautiful brand new babies. They are by far my favorite subject to photograph. Here are a few images from this little man's newborn session. There were a boat load of pictures, but I'm holding back on oversharing his sweetness :) He is the son of a long time friend and it was a extra special blessing to photograph him and spend that special time with his parents. 
I had the pleasure of being part of such a beautiful wedding this last January. The bride and groom were so excited, perfectly content to commit their lives to one another, blend their families and their day was just incredible. I loved witnessing the tender way they spoke to each other and the confidence in their relationship was such an inspiration!
Much Love to you both! Thank you for having me as your photographer! It was such a blessing!
Beautiful brand new babies are beyond precious and always make my day when I have the honor of photographing them! Here is a little sneak peak of Miss A...brand new little addition to a family who I enjoy so much!! Enjoy this little doll baby!!
Being from and living in Washington makes me by default, a Seahawk Fan. This family is no different, although I'd have to say they take their Seahawk love to an ultimate level and I adore them for it! They were even featured in our local paper this week in honor of the upcoming Superbowl!! The link is below!
Hope you are enjoying the Superbowl!!
It's 2015. All to quickly it's another year, my children are that much older, my baby is almost 1. I could get all sappy here but I'll try not to...
I had a wonderful Christmas with my family, a fun and calm New Years and this week it was back to the studio and back to work for me. I had the most wonderful 1st session of the new year with this amazingly precious little dear. Little Ms. B was almost my birthday twin!!! Being a New Years Eve baby she and I were about 30 minutes away from sharing a birthday!! She had the best cheeks, and was such a love. She snuggled into my touch and in doing so, just melted my heart! I hope you enjoy this little peek at the 5 day old Birkley!!

On a very cold winter day, a lovely group of family gathered to celebrate and witness the loving union of two amazingly kind and wonderful people. This intimate wedding was so incredibly precious to be a part of. Just a peek at their oh-so special day!!
Have a holly jolly Christmas, It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly jolly Christmas and when you walk down the street,
Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet!
One day, not long ago on a crisp, almost-winter day, the family took a little walk to find the perfect spot for a picnic and some snuggles.
Along the way, Miss Emma smiled and laughed as she navigated the gravel and mud with her adoring parents.
They arrived at the old bridge with just enough time to share their muffins and cocoa.
Miss Emma loved her chocolate chip muffins and sipped her cocoa while snuggling her Mommy and Daddy.
They cheers-ed their cocoa and picked up their cups, hoping to find more adventure. Mommy helped Miss Emma into her mittens and off they went!
Miss Emma got to FLY with Mommy and Daddy by her side!
They took a few moments for kisses and secrets and carried on until they found....
...the most beautiful horse who was in need of a pat and a chat!
Miss Emma helped her with her dinner and was then invited for a ride! What a wonderful day they had!
I read somewhere that I should include more words then pictures when I blog. But really, who really reads what I write? Doesn't everyone just scroll past the babble to see sweet faces? I even scroll past my babble to see cute faces!
So...on that note, I leave you with the adorableness that is one of my favorite families on this planet. I've known these little muffins since they were in their Mommies tummy. I've known Mommy since we were teenagers...and now I get to know this gorgeous family that just warms my heart!
A very special little man made his way into the studio last week. His Momma is best friends with my younger sister and I've known this sweet family for some time now. In fact, Caleb's big sister was a newborn in my studio just 3 years ago. When Caleb's Momma asked me to photograph him as a newborn, I was honored as he has a special and precious place in my heart. He was SUCH a love...just melting into my hands as I worked with him. And then he wanted to be awake and see what the fuss was all about :) He will probably never quite understand just how perfect he is. 
We spent some time with Caleb and then his big Sis joined us for the remainder of the session. Having turned 3 just days after Caleb's arrival, I didn't expect Kaytlin to be extremely excited about her brother, since toddlers can be a little unsure about new babies. But, I couldn't have been more wrong. She was extremely attentive, holding him, kissing him and smiling so big out of pride to have this sweet little Mister all to herself!
Caleb, his parents and family appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts as he will undergo surgery this coming January. Although the procedures he will endure have been perfected and will be completed by amazing surgeons, having a child go through the experience of surgery is never easy. Please pray for quick healing and a peaceful process for all involved!
