Delightful Logan | {Puyallup Children Photography}

What a treat it was last Saturday afternoon to meet this cute and busy baby…Logan, just 8 months old is VERY active and quite the charmer. Beautiful eyes and long locks that most baby girls would envy…he charmed me from the moment he woke up upon his arrival! It’s not uncommon for a little one to take a bit to get comfortable with my studio, the lights, my camera and of course, me…but Logan was smiling and playing from the word GO!! He was awesome and such fun! I was amazed and impressed when at one point…he crawled a bit and then just stood up…and did a few squats!! For an 8 month old, that is huge and I can see he will be walking SOON and keeping everyone around him quite busy! This is such a fun age…they engage when you talk with them, play with them and their sweet personalities begin to shine through and this little guy definitely made my afternoon!

And, you can see just how much his momma adores him…obviously would do anything for this little guy!!

At this age, EVERYTHING goes in the mouth…and although I can’t imagine just how good it would taste…Logan seemed to really enjoy the wooden fish!!

Both Logan’s dad and mom adore him and it’s obvious he is truly loved…which is what every baby deserves…and needs!!

Is this not the cutest shirt…Logan looks like a little ROCK star…I can only imagine in 20 years that he will love these photos…And, Logan’s grandma joined him for his session and I can imagine just how much she loves this little guy…more than words can say!!SO sweet!!!!!!!!!

LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE

Bare baby buns…too cute, but this might be one that Logan won’t like as much in 20 years….LOL

I love this photo…it’s as though he’s being protected by his parents and feels secure and confident!

Logan, it was wonderful to meet you…as well as your mom, dad and grandma…you are a sweetie and I know you will continue to charm all who meet you!!

Ainsley…4 Years Old | {Tacoma Children’s Photography}

It doesn’t seem possible that Ainsley is already FOUR years old! She was just 6 months old when I first met her and it’s been great to watch her grow and change the past couple of years! She is not only a beautiful little girl, but very bright and a TON of fun! She tried to play “shy” when we first met up on a cloudy Sunday morning, but that didn’t last for long…before long, we were running, climbing stairs and playing games! That is one of the best parts of my job…I get to play a lot…be silly, make faces, and encourage my “kids” to do the same!! I loved that Ainsley’s mom wanted Ainsley being herself…so the funny faces and the great expressions were part of who she is…and I think she figured me out pretty quick, as she had me working out, while we played/shot….and she managed to get quite a few piggy back rides from me on some of the stairs we climbed! As I said, a smart little girl! Despite the cool weather, we managed to stay warm by moving a lot and really, this is what a child at this age is doing anyway…moving and learning and exploring…which is what I love to watch…and capture!! So…here is Ainsley…….Isn’t that smile AWESOME!!!And SUCH pretty eyes…with lots of sparkle and a definite glitter for life!!Now, I believe her mom knows this look well…and I LOVED it…how could you ever get mad at this face!!She loved all the colors of the glass…it was great to “see” something new through her eyes!!Ahh, the reward…a cherry sucker and it was well deserved, Ainsley was great and SO much fun!!

Meghan, great to see you and Ainsley again…and to meet your mom…enjoy the photos and know that there are some more to come!!

Wyatt…6 Months Old | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

Wow, it’s hard to believe that it’s already been six months since I first met little Wyatt and his parents, Dianna and Rob, late last summer! Now, Wyatt is 6 months old and is so stinkin’ cute…and such a sweet little guy, I can only imagine how much his parents have enjoyed watching they beautiful son grow and become a little person since his arrival! I’ve said this before and will continue to…I love my job, and meeting such wonderful people and the fact that I get to play with the little ones, is the BEST…and I can only imagine how much fun Wyatt’s one year session and cake smash will be…this little one has personality just popping out everywhere! I had the pleasure of seeing Wyatt a few days before his session when he came with his new little cousin, Lincoln, for his newborn session. It’s wonderful that these little guys are so close in age and how much fun they will have as they get older…they are both such blessed babies and both have great parents!!

What a neat family…I am really enjoying getting to know all of them!!

SUPER cute dinosaur hat…Wyatt was totally rocking it!!



This little guy is definitely the sparkle in his mom’s eyes…I love seeing this!!!

As well as his dad’s special little guy…how lucky is Wyatt!!


A favorite toy is always a plus during a session…since it’s all about play, anyway!

 

His outfit was great…right down to the feet…LOVE these little shoes!!



Check out Wyatt’s eyelashes…O.M.G. they are the longest and he has the most beautiful eyes…heart breaker, already!!





Maybe a little bashful?!!??





I love the little chubby arms and hands…this little one is just perfect!



We are getting a bit tired…



And, he was done…ready for a nap!

Wyatt was a delight and I so enjoyed talking with his mom and dad again…and hearing all about the first 6 months of Wyatt’s life. It’s a joy to follow babies during their first year when they are a part of my Babe’s First Year plan…and it warms my heart each session to see how happy, beautiful and healthy these little ones are – and how lucky each one is to have such loving and caring parents!

Dianna and Rob…so great to see you again and I can’t wait until Wyatt’s next session!!
