Francis | Best Newborn Photographer in Seattle

October 31, 2017

Francis and his family traveled quite a ways to come into the studio for his newborn session. I’m always flattered when a client makes the trip so far to see me, and make it a goal to go above and beyond to deliver an amazing experience. His big sister couldn’t have been any more adorable, I swear. She walked in smiling and was so careful and gentle when she was holding her baby brother. The images I captured of the two of them together are some of my all time favorite sibling photos.

Momma requested mostly neutrals for Francis’ session, and the creamy tones looked amazing with his gorgeous features and ivory skin. (if you look closely, you can even see the little dimple in his chin!) The blue romper she brought in was handmade by a relative and momma wanted to be sure to include it in his session since it was extra sentimental. Paired with the grey fabric, it was perfection.

Here are the highlights from little Francis’ newborn session.

Nolan | Best Seattle Newborn Photographer

October 29, 2017

Nolan and his sweet family came in for their newborn session over the summertime. As you can guess, the family had requested different shades of blue to be used for his session to compliment little Nolan’s nursery. I think it might have been one of the first times I’ve been able to use this navy blue fabric in a newborn session and I absolutely loved the way it all came together. The blues were so pretty against his skin and really highlighted his perfect little features so well.

His big brother was such a cutie, too and did a great job holding still while cuddling his baby brother. The were an adorable due for sure!

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

Mimi | Seattle Outdoor Maternity Portrait Session

October 27, 2017

This stunning momma came in to see me a few weeks before her due date. We could not have had better luck with the weather, either. The sun was shining and the sky lit up with a gorgeous glow to give us the perfect golden light.

Most maternity sessions are photographed outdoors when momma is between 32-36 weeks. Ideally, she is still comfortable moving around but also has a nice baby belly for her session. Spouses and siblings are more than welcome to join the session, and I’ve even had a few pups tag along. In the colder months and upon request, maternity sessions can be scheduled in the studio as well. I have several maternity gowns available for moms to wear during the session. Please inquire for more information.

Morgan | Seattle Cake Smash Photographer

October 25, 2017

My youngest niece, Morgan turned one at the tail end of summer and of course, we celebrated with a cake smash session in the studio! Hard to believe that just a year ago, I was photographing Morgan’s newborn session and her Fresh 48 session in the hospital. Time really does fly by once you have little ones of your own. The days kind of blend together and before you know it, an entire year has gone by.

Sharing a little overview of the fun we had during Morgan’s session.
