Family Newborn Session | Bellevue – Issaquah Newborn Baby Photographer

You guys, I have the most amazing clients; seriously.  When these guys came in for their family newborn session I just about died.  Their kids both had the most gorgeous heads of hair I think I have ever seen on two kids. Gavin was just 5 years old and I can tell he’s already an awesome big brother to his baby sister, Divina.  He was so great with her!  It truly was such a pleasure being given the chance to photograph this family and capture these precious moments for them.  And little Divina was such a trooper, too.  She posed beautifully and gave us lots of beautiful photos for their gallery.  I’m so excited to have her back in the studio in 6 months and being able to watch her grow!  Love this family!!

One Year Cake Smash | Maple Valley-Issaquah Newborn-Baby Photographer

A few weeks ago, a very special little girl came in to see me for her one year cake smash session.  I have been photographing this little one since she was still nestled inside her momma’s belly!  (Does my maternity session in the snow ring any bells?  You can check it out here.)  I couldn’t believe a year had already gone by since I had done her newborn session!  The crazy thing is, this little girl was born in April and around here, the weather usually isn’t so great.  But for some reason, every single session I have ever done with this family we have lucked out with some awesome weather!  Her newborn session was actually my very first time photographing a newborn baby outdoors.  Six months after she was born, we lucked out AGAIN in late October with an 80 degree day and captured some gorgeous images of her outside with her family during their fall mini session.  So here we are a full year after she was born and she is just as cute as ever.  Cake smash sessions are so much fun!  Check out the look on Aspen’s face when she sees her cake for the first time.  I feel so privileged to be a part of this family’s life and capturing these memories for them.

Sleepy Baby Girl Quinn | 8 days | Bellevue Issaquah newborn baby photographer

Anyone who is  a newborn photographer holds a sleepy baby in high regard! When this little one came to see me, she was SO sleepy that I don’t think she even opened her eyes at all until the very end.  The best part about a sleepy baby is the amount of set ups that can be accomplished during a newborn session.  Quinn’s momma had a few things in mind before she came to see me and I had a few things in mind after getting to know her a little bit.  In the end, we got some unique photos of this little girl and I was so happy to deliver her momma a gallery full of colorful images.  I think pretty much every photo was a fave of mine but I’m only going to share a handful of them with you all.   I hope you love them as much as I do!

*Now booking newborns through the summer of 2015*

10 lb baby boy Dylan | Bellevue – Seattle Newborn Baby Photographer

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this 10 lb baby boy when he was just 12 days old.  At 23″ long, I think he was the ‘tallest’ baby I have ever photographed!  This family lives down in California and his momma is a friend of mine, so when she reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in flying down there for his newborn session, I didn’t even hesitate!  As soon as he was born we made arrangements for a quick trip down and back.  I loaded up a suitcase full of goodies and away I went.  Little Dylan was such a sweetie.  He absolutely loved being cuddled up in his momma’s arms.  His big brother, Brennan was just 21 months old and he was the PERFECT little guy during the family photos.  For a toddler to be stuck in a house that’s nearly 85 degrees when the sun is shining outside, it’s a pretty major accomplishment!  He was so patient and loving and the photos I took of the two of them together are absolutely priceless.  I’m sharing a few of my personal faves from their session.  Enjoy!

**If you are expecting, or know someone who is, please contact me as early as possible to schedule your newborn session as I am currently booking through the summer**

Beautiful baby boy Kekoa | 6 days { Bellevue-Maple Valley newborn-baby photographer}

This beautiful baby boy came to see me when he was just 6 days new and weighing right around 7 lbs.  He had a FULL head of hair and the cutest little features.  Kekoa was the first baby boy that I had photographed in nearly THREE MONTHS!  I have a busy calendar full of girls, but it seems that these little men are no where to be found!  (I’m thinking there MUST be something in the water!) He was such a great little sleeper during his session.  I don’t think he even made a peep!  His mom and dad traveled a little ways to bring him in and I was so grateful that they did.  Wait till you see the family photo I captured of the three of them; it’s absolutely precious.

With a busy week of photographing newborns (three babies in one week), I’m now waiting on a couple more to arrive so my April calendar is pretty much full.  May is almost fully booked as well.  If you are expecting and would like to schedule a newborn session, please don’t wait to contact me!

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.
