Aren | Seattle Newborn Photography

I would like to introduce you to Aren. He has to be one of the calmest, awake newborns that I have ever photographed.  I’m pretty sure he didn’t sleep for a second during his newborn session; in fact, any photos you see of him with his eyes closed were just brief moments when he blinked!  But it was okay that he was awake because he was super chill and calm, and when he look at me, he really looked AT me!  Most newborns aren’t able to see more than a couple inches in front of their face but this little guy was able to track pretty well. I was even able to get a few stunning images of him looking directly into the camera.

Sharing a few of my favorite images from Aren’s session below.

Seattle Seahawks Newborn Session with Earl Thomas

When I got the phone call from momma saying she was having her second baby girl in a few months and would like to schedule a newborn photo session, I had no idea that she was the wife of Earl Thomas, one of the best NFL defensive players on the planet. I actually had no clue until it came time to schedule their session.  Of course when I found out, I was pretty dang excited to have the privilege of photographing their beautiful growing family.

Not only were their girls absolutely beautiful, they really were an awesome family to work with.  So kind and friendly.  I love meeting my clients and hearing their stories!  Momma brought in daddy’s football helmet and told me she really wanted to a photo of Kamila in it.  I wasn’t totally sure how I was going to do it, but we made it happen and I loved the way it came out.

Sharing a few of my favorites from their session below.  If you are interested in having a newborn session in the Seattle area, contact me today!

Ezra | Tacoma Newborn Photographer

Baby Ezra came in for his newborn session just before Christmas time.  Mom and dad really wanted to incorporate the Christmas theme into some of his photos so they could use those images for their holiday card.  Since I didn’t have a ton of options in my studio, I decided to go shopping for some new holiday backdrops from Luisa’s store.  All her backdrops are so pretty and I knew I would find the perfect options there.

He was such a sweet little man with his tiny little features and adorable expressions.  The way he curled up into momma hands and fit so comfortably, it was as if he was posing himself.  I loved the family images so much, but I loved the beautiful blue tones we used for the rest of his session as well. I’m sharing a few of my favorites here.

Summer and Fall Family Mini Sessions 2018

Summer and Fall outdoor family mini sessions will open up for booking on WEDNESDAY MAY 23RD at 9:00am PST.  I will only be offering a handful of dates and locations this year. Please be sure to review each listing carefully before selecting a date and location that fits your needs.

What is a mini session?

A mini session is a shorter version of a full family session.  Mini sessions are limited to 25 minutes and individual families with up to 6 people.  Because mini sessions are photographed back to back, I’m able to offer special pricing on both the retainer/session fees as well as your product purchase!

 

How does it work?

You will reserve your time by paying a retainer fee up front.  $100 secures a 25 minute session, $200 secures the 50 minute sunset session.  Specific details on location will be sent to you after your retainer has been received and prior to the session date.  After your session is photographed, you will receive a link to an online gallery with un-edited images from your session for you to review.  At that time, you will purchase the package of your choosing, and the images you select will then be edited. (Editing turnaround is 2-3 weeks.) There will be 4 packages for you to choose from:

Option #1
10 edited high resolution digital images
$ 295+ tax

Option #2
20 edited high resolution digital images
Poof box with 4×6 print of each digital image
$595+ tax

Option #3
20 edited high resolution digital images
Photoblocks 3 pack mini set (8×12, 5×7, 4×6)
$795+ tax

Option #4
20 edited high resolution digital images
24×36 Canvas
$995+ tax

Please keep in mind that your retainer/session fee is completely separate and will not be applied to your package.

You may purchase back to back time slots to increase your session length, however you must purchase a package for each time slot you select.

BOOK NOW

These will likely be the ONLY outdoor mini session dates available for 2018.  Please be sure to contact me if you have any questions before booking.

**Sessions are rain or shine, however in the event of extreme inclement weather, sessions may be rescheduled at the photographer’s discretion.

 

Sasha | Puyallup Newborn Photographer

You guys, I don’t even know if I can find the words to describe how amazing this family was. Dad is a photographer who mainly photographs weddings and events and pretty much all things NOT newborn photography related 🙂 When they hired me to be their daughter’s photographer, I was beyond flattered.  It’s always an honor to be chosen by a family to capture this special time in their lives, but when another photographer chooses you, it’s even more special!

Miss Sasha was so itty bitty.  I loved the color pallet momma chose for her session; the creamy tones and the purples were absolutely gorgeous on her. It feels like a lifetime ago when I photographed her session; I can imagine how big she must be getting now.

i believe...

every photograph tells a story. capturing moments that would otherwise be forgotten. moments that can not be replicated or reproduced. moments that that are unique in meaning to every person who sees them. moments that you can not get back.

a photograph allows you the opportunity to relive those moments over and over again. these moments shape the story of our lives, and everyone has a story to tell.

let me help you tell yours.
