Baby Boy Keeghan | 4 days fresh {Maple Valley | Seattle area newborn photographer}

August 3, 2014

I posted a model call a few weeks ago looking for a newborn under 12 days. I was hoping to get a response from someone with a baby under 10 days. I totally lucked out when a friend of mine (also a photographer) shared my status with a mom who was getting ready to have her baby boy in just a few days. When Keeghan’s mom emailed me and told me he would be 4 days old on the day of my model call, I knew he would be absolutely perfect. And when I laid my eyes on him for the first time, I fell in love! This little guy was not only absolutely to-die-for gorgeous, he was the most sound little sleeper. Weighing in at right around 7 lbs, he was a tiny little bundle of squishiness with a full head of dark hair! I spent just under two hours photographing this little man but I seriously could have gone longer. I don’t think he cried even once during his whole session! We worked through several different poses and I got some great images of him for mom! This little guy was the perfect model; I could not have asked for anyone better! Here are just a few images from his session. Check out this little rock star and be sure to show him some love! Seattle area newborn photographer

baby girl Kennedy | 12 days new {Maple Valley | Seattle newborn photographer}

July 30, 2014

Baby girl, Kennedy came in to see me for her photo session just before she turned 2 weeks old. Her mom and dad were referred to me from a previous client and had called about a model casting call that I had posted on Facebook. Unfortunately, she was going to be just a tad too old to participate in the model call so I rearranged my schedule and made it a point to fit her in as soon as I could. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did!

I love babies… I mean I LOVE BABIES! I’m not exaggerating when I say that Kennedy was the most adorable little baby girl. Weighing right around 7.5 lbs with perfect dainty features and flawless skin. She had a full head of hair and the most piercing bright blue eyes! I snapped so many great images of her that I had a tough time narrowing down the selection for mom and dad. I like to spend the first half of the session photographing baby by themselves and wrap up the session with family photos; a total of 2-3 hours usually. This little girl was a rockstar and made it through the entire photo shoot in less than 2 hours. Say hello to this beautiful family!

Baby Boy Lochlan | 8 days old {Maple Valley | Seattle Newborn Photographer}

July 29, 2014

This sweet little baby boy was a much awaited for little man. Momma was anxious to meet him and of course, he made her wait! I had photographed his momma’s maternity session about a month and a half before and we captured some beautiful images of her outside in the park.

When he finally showed up, he was stunning and momma was glowing. They say that pregnant women have a glow about them, but there’s something the glow of LOVE from meeting your new baby boy for the first time truly is magical! This family has a lot of love for their newest little one.

Little Lochlan wasn’t interested in sleeping during his newborn session. Although he was alert and awake for most of it, he was also calm and relaxed. At one point, he flashed the most gorgeous little smile! I’m so happy I was able to capture it with my camera because it certainly is one of my favorite images from his session.

newborn baby girl Natalie | 11 days | Maple Valley newborn photographer

June 26, 2014

I’m always very flattered when I get a call from a new or expecting mom looking to book a newborn session with me. Especially when the call comes from a referral. Natalie was this awesome couple’s first baby and Mom and Dad traveled over an hour to bring their beautiful little girl in to see me. She was such a little doll! Talk about the perfect newborn session… I had a tough time letting her go! We spent a little extra time making sure we got lots of great images of this gorgeous little 7 lb bundle of perfection. Mom even brought in a special blanket that a dear friend of hers had crocheted for her. One thing is absolutely for certain; this little girl is loved! World, meet Natalie.

Baby Boy Benjamin | 8 days {Maple Valley-Seattle newborn photographer}

June 18, 2014

Baby boy Benjamin was a welcome sight! After a long stretch of many, many girls in the studio, this lovely little man came in during one of my model calls. Just 8 days old, he was such a great little sleeper. He had the cutest little lips and made the most adorable facial expressions! When the little ones sleep so soundly, they typically curl right up and have no problems sleeping through the clicking of the camera. We were able to get some great shots of him for his mom and dad!

World, say hello to Benjamin!
