Granny Visits and Amelia turns 2 {Puyallup Family Photographer}
For nearly 5 years now, we’ve had some wonderful neighbors and I’ve had the pleasure of doing their family photos for nearly that long. When they first arrived, it was just Greg and Leah…and Max…their dog and now they have grown to a family of five with the addition of Luke and Amelia. What a delight it has been to watch ALL of them grow and to see what a great family they are! Luke is the oldest, he’ll be four this fall and Amelia just turned two a week ago…wow, hard to believe they are no longer babies and becoming little people. The past couple of weeks they’ve had Leah’s mom (Granny…aka, Lois) visiting and I know she’s really enjoyed her time there and especially with the grandchildren…it’s always special when you get time with your grandchildren!! So, this past week we had a session with Granny, Luke and Amelia…and made it a twofold session…photos with all of them, a few of Luke…can’t leave out big brother…and Amelia’s second year pictures…what a fun afternoon we had!
Such special times…they all grow up so fast, so you have to treasure these moments while you can!
Luke sure loves his Granny…as you can see!
Amelia and Granny definitely have a strong bond and you can certainly see they are related…so very sweet!
Just a year ago, Luke wasn’t very fond of having his picture taken…this time he was great and I just love this photo…but he looks too grown up….slow down!
Doesn’t Amelia have the most beautiful hair…look at those blond curls…and then those eyes and smile…such a beautiful little girl! She’s been so much fun to watch blossom the past year!
It was quite funny during my time with Amelia…she would occasionally tell me…”other one” meaning she wanted me to change cameras and use the other camera/lens…so I would and she’d be happy and then later on would say it again…too funny, and very definite about what she wanted!
I still love little ones feet and toes…and these weren’t any exception…and the grass on the bottom just made them that much cuter!
And, we couldn’t get away without including Leah in a couple of photos…it’s been a great visit for all of them and it definitely needed a special photo to document this time! Lois and Leah are both wonderful and caring people…these little ones are so very blessed to have them in their lives! Not that I’m forgetting dad, Greg…he was working and we’ll get him in the fall with the family photos and Luke’s four year pictures!
One last shot…Amelia was amazed at her reward from the session…a little Pez dispenser from Toy Story…and she couldn’t figure out what happened to all of the candy…hehehe…it was eaten quickly and then they went home…ahhh, my plan…give them sugar at the end and send them home!
