Winter Family Session | Issaquah family photographer

When I set up this winter family session, I wanted the family to be aware of just how cold it would be outside.  I think the morning of the shoot, it was barely hovering above freezing.  Fortunately for us, the light was absolutely gorgeous and it truly was the perfect day to photograph their little family.  They had a son who was just 2 months old at the time.  They bundled him up so perfectly that he was really quite content being out in the cold weather!  I love the way we were able to capture some beautifully candid moments along with those traditional posed portraits that most families seem to love.  Here are a few of my favorites from this winter family session!

New Baby Girl | Newborn Photography Seattle

When this momma contacted me to photograph her new baby girl, I was over the moon!  You see, I had photographed their son when he was just a newborn right after I started my business, so this was my very first ‘second baby’.  And the session did not disappoint!  Little Ben had grown up so much since I had last seen him.  He was very excited to be a big brother and he was so cooperative for the camera.  His gorgeous eyes peered up and me as he snuggled his new baby sister closely.  I couldn’t have asked for a more precious moment.  Little Olivia had the most beautiful features, too.  And momma loved the pops of color we incorporated into her session.  I’m sharing a few of my favorites (which, as always, was hard to choose!)

Please contact me for more information on booking your newborn session.  Currently scheduling due dates through November.

Smiling Baby Boy | Issaquah Baby Photographer

A smiling baby melts my heart like no other.  Especially when they flash those little smiles when they’re curled up next to momma.  The parents usually don’t even know it’s happening and when they see all their photos for the first time, it melts their heart, too!  Sweet little Luke has the most amazing little family.  His big sister is his protector.  It was obvious from the moment I met her that she was going to be the best big sister in the world. She was a natural when it came to holding him.  And her eyes… let me tell you…  sooooo pretty!  I had a lot of favorites from their session so I tried my best to narrow them down.  Hope you love them as much as I do!

Outdoor Maternity | Issaquah Baby Photographer

This outdoor maternity session was uniquely special to me because this was one of the first pregnant mommas I had photographed when I first started my business.  I was so honored that she decided to come back to me for baby number two, and even more honored that I was able to photograph her pregnancy again!  Only this time around, we included dad and soon-to-be big sister in the session as well!  I admit, this blog post is coming pretty late.  Their maternity session was done last fall at Lake Wilderness and while it was bit chilly outside, the sun was shining and the scenery was amazing.  I’m sharing a few of my faves from their session, and if you want to have a look at her first maternity session (which was actually photographed in the mountains!) you can find that here.

*Please note that I am currently booking due dates into the fall of 2016.  Please contact us for more information about scheduling your session.*

Little Three Week Old | Bellevue Newborn Photographer

This little three week old came to see me about a month before Christmas. (I know, I know.  I’m super behind on blogging my sessions.) In fact, some of you might remember when I posted on my Facebook page that my husband came home with a Christmas Wreath and before I let him hang it on our door, I had to put a baby in it first. 😉 Well luckily for me, these clients LOVE Christmas and were all for my little reindeer set up!

Anyhow, this three week old baby girl was such a beauty!  With her full head of dark hair and her gorgeous brown eyes peering at me, Abigail was the perfect baby.  I think she was awake for all of 15 minutes, just long enough for me to capture a few of those eyes-wide-open shots that parents love so much.  But I swaddled and swayed her and shortly after that, she was sound asleep.  Her mom and dad weren’t totally sure if they wanted to be in the photos but I convinced them and I’m so glad I did.  In fact, the family image from their session was most definitely one of my faves.  (I think you’ll see why!)

Here are the photos I hand picked to share with you all.  It was hard to choose but these were my favorites.  Hope you love them as much as I do!

I am currently scheduling summer and fall due dates!  Please contact me for information on how to schedule your newborn session.

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.
