2014 Year In Review | Seattle Baby Photographer

January 8, 2015

2014 came and went in the blink of an eye! As a Seattle Baby Photographer, I have had the most AMAZING year photographing the most AMAZING babies! The really great thing is that several of them came back to see me again for their milestone sessions, too. Not only did I get to capture those precious little poses during their first few days of life, but I got to see them when they were rolling over and sitting up, as well. It’s so awesome watching these little ones grow! And a few of them will surely be back in 2015 for their cake smash sessions and one year birthdays! EEEK! I know, I know. I’ve said it so many times. But I seriously LOVE this life and I love being able to provide these families with so many wonderful memories for years to come. Here’s a little collage I put together of everyone I had the PLEASURE and PRIVILEGE of working with in 2014.

Sweet Baby Girl | Seattle Newborn Photographer

January 3, 2015

This sweet baby girl and her momma came in to see me a few weeks for a model call that we did here at the studio in Maple Valley. She was just over a week old and weighing right around 8 pounds. She was so sleepy and so cuddly and had the fullest head of hair! She was too cute for words. She even had little baby hairs on her back and arms. During the model call, I had the pleasure of having two other photographers join me and I have to admit, it was really nice having extra hands helping out! We worked through tons of poses rather quickly, and in the end we even captured a handful of gorgeous images of this little one with her momma. One of which is going to be blown up nice and big and hung on a wall in my studio; can’t wait!

On a side note, if you’re looking for a newborn photographer, NOW is the time to schedule! My schedule is already filling up for 2015 and I’m only taking a limited number of babies each month. Click HERE to see more information on current pricing.

Newborn Baby Girl Adalyn | Seattle Newborn Photographer

January 1, 2015

This newborn baby girl came in during a model call a few weeks ago. She was just a week old and hovering right around the 8 lbs mark. She was ultra sleepy and suuuuuuper curly. I don’t think there was a pose this little one wasn’t comfortable in! She slept so well the entire time she was here. The weather in Seattle was pretty gloomy that day, unfortunately. The session could have lasted longer if the light would have been just a little bit better. This is definitely one of the challenges of being a natural light newborn photographer. Especially in the Northwest and especially in the winter time! Even though it was a dim and dark day, we still managed to capture some amazing photos though! Perks of having awesome photography equipment. 🙂

World, say hello to little Adalyn. 7 days new and 8 lbs of cuteness!

Sleepy Baby Girl Ainsley | Seattle Newborn Photographer

December 29, 2014

From my very first phone conversation with Ainsley’s momma, I was so excited to be chosen as their newborn photographer. I had never had the opportunity to photograph a baby named Ainsley and I just adore that name! This little sweetheart did not disappoint, either. She was quite the sleepy baby and her session was a breeze. Momma even brought in a few very sentimental props to include in the session and we captured some really darling images of this baby girl with her family as well. You can even see it in the photos just how in love these brand new parents are with their little girl. So many great images but I’m only posting a handful of my favorites from their session. (Believe me, it was hard to choose!) Everyone, say hello to Ainsley!

10 pound baby girl | Seattle Newborn Photography

December 16, 2014

This beautiful baby girl came in from Seattle for her newborn photos when she was just one week old. She gives new meaning to the nickname ‘Little Squish’ cause she most certainly was a squishy little girl! Her full head of hair and stubbornness to stay awake as long as possible was oh-so-cute! Weighing in at exactly 10 pounds at birth, she was quite the bundle of perfection. Her chubby little cheeks and rolls were so darling. I couldn’t resist taking about a zillion photos of her. (You’ll know what I mean when you see them!) I have at least one moment during every session; whether baby is awake or asleep where I think to myself, “Man, I really love my job.” This session was no exception. I got to see this family again last night when I met with them to preview their images and little Zoe is already growing. 🙁 It goes by WAY too fast! Enjoy every single second of it. Take photos! Preserve those memories. Snuggle your little ones.
