Theadoyza & Grayson | Snohomish Twins Turn One

I was looking forward to photographing these little twins' newborn portraits, but thier early arrival and long stay in the NICU made it impossible. It made meeting them even sweeter though. Mom and dad are proud as can be and I'm sure you can see why! We planned their one year baby portraits at the Farm at Swan's Trail pumpkin patch. The weather was a doozey that weekend and although we got some amazingly cute photos (how stinking cute are those pumpkin hats!?), I felt that these two had a few more smiles in them that they were hiding from me. So last weekend they made an appearance at Seattle's Golden Gardens and enjoyed a warm fall day bathed in golden light. Thanks T&D for dipping your tiny toes in the sand with me!

Tender Moments | Tacoma Newborn Photographer

It's always good to go into a shoot prepared with ideas in mind so that I know what I need to get, the rest is up to baby. This little guy tried doing a switcheroo on me, tried to foil my plans. Little did he know I've been there before and have grown accustom to flying by the seat of my pants. And even though I didn't get all of the things I had planned to, I am so in love with the images we captured. My favorite is the tenderness shared between the new family. It reminds me of moment Gustav Klimt would paint if I may be so bold.

Vintage Children's Portraits | Bothell Family Photographer

These children are heart melting, and that toe nibbling was the icing on the cake. Could hardly stand the cuteness! This beautiful family had a few ensembles from Janie and Jack for the kids and tied it all together with a great vintage trunk.  It makes me so happy when my clients have fun props to incorporate into their baby's portraits.  I just love the inside of the trunk. It had a great lining that looked like torn wallpaper which makes me want a huge backdrop just like it.

Sunday in the Park | Seattle Child Photographer

If you're doing holiday cards, now is the time to get your kids and family together for portraits. I know times will be changing soon. We've been enjoying gorgeous fall light and bright leaves for about a week now.

Here is a look into my morning with Michael and Sam. It took a wee bit to get the boys in sync and into the groove with the camera, but things were going along pretty good and then someone decided the session was over.

Gotta love it!

Louie | Auburn Senior High School Portrait Photographer

This guy is huge! He plays football and rugby, but don't let that fool you, he's a big teddy bear. We ran around downtown Auburn early last Saturday in the beautiful morning light to do some senior portraits and Louie's trusty sidekick Whidbey even joined in a few shots.  
Recruiters, seriously, you need look no further!

Thanks Louie!

Grace In Seattle | Bothell Baby Photography

Grace is one of my favorite baby names. It makes me think of a peaceful beauty and elegance, just like this little angel.
