Baby Lincoln | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

There’s nothing more exciting than a new little addition to a family…and this little one, Lincoln, was welcomed by his parents, Phillip and Shawna, and is truly a blessing to them as well as their families! He arrived about a week early and is just perfect…10 little fingers and 10 little toes…the cutest nose and the sweetest, soft little cry. The day I met Lincoln and his parents, he was just 12 days old and was sound asleep upon arrival. I so love the little ones…I get to cuddle, snuggle and smell these sweet, precious babies and each and every one is a delight and I so love watching “mom and dad” with their new baby…it’s always an amazing sight…one that I will never tire of seeing! Such a precious gift and such love beaming from the parents…and these new parents are truly in love with their new son!

Oh, how I LOVE a mother with her new baby…melts my heart and brings tears to my eyes every time!Safe and protected, in his daddy’s arms…little Lincoln is content and peaceful!A beautiful new family is created!

From the tippy top to the tippy “toes!”

Hmmm, if only we knew what he was thinking!!

Is this not the SWEETEST little face, ever!!

Oh, how I live the “little bits” of babies!

Peaceful and innocent…

You can just feel the love these parents have for their new son!Lincoln brought along his “big” cousin, Wyatt, and we couldn’t resist a couple of photos of the two of them. Aren’t they adorable in these owl hats?!!!

And, these super cute ties and diaper covers were made by Wyatt’s mom…what talent and perfect for Valentine’s!

It was great to see Wyatt, I hadn’t seen him since his newborn photos and he will be next up on the blog as he came in later that same week!

Sleep tight, sweet Lincoln!

Phillip and Shawna…your new son is beautiful and I was thrilled to meet all of you and capture some memories for your family…I look forward to seeing him grown during his first year and capturing some more memories for all of you! Congratulations!!!

Aaron & Elizabeth…At Last | {Puyallup Engagement Photography}

Aaron and Elizabeth…at last is their moto and are they ever excited about the “at last” part! They are finally getting married and as you will see from the photos, they are so in love with one another, it just beams through in their photos! I had met Elizabeth a couple of years ago when I shot her business portraits as well as their darling daughter, Aryianna! Elizabeth is a realtor and so when we met last summer to talk about purchasing a rental home, she share that she was engaged…and the wedding is set for this coming August! We talked a bit about the details, but then went on to the house discussion. This past fall, we started talking about the details and planned for some engagement photos after the first of the year. We met up in South Prarie and then headed out past Carbonado to this great old (one way) bridge for the photos. After a week (or more!) of fog, cold and even some rain…we had a dry day and even some sunshine, although it still was quite chilly! A gorgeous location and the view of the river below was spectacular! I hadn’t met Aaron before, so it was nice to get a chance to visit with him and to see Aryianna again…she’s a sweetheart and very excited about her “job” at the wedding as a flower girl…she will be the CUTEST one ever!! This couple is so grounded, they know what they want, what’s important in life and truly value their family and friends…I loved spending time with them and am so excited for their big day this summer!

This is their motto…AT LAST…as they’ve been together for 12 years and everyone is finally say “at last” you are getting married!

Such a special part of their lives, Aryianna, is not only a beautiful girl, but very sweet and bright! Their dog, Jersey, also joined us for some of the photos…the complete family!It was definitely chilly, so I tried to give them every opportunity possible to snuggle to warm up…and they didn’t seem to mind it a bit!!

Couldn’t resist Aryianna and Jersey together…the “kids” and since Jersey is getting older, I wanted to be sure to capture some photos of Aryianna with Jersey!I LOVE the look of total adoration that Elizabeth has for Aaron…it’s a beautiful thing to see!The smile and sparkle in Aryianna’s eyes is the sparkle that I love seeing in children and this cutie has such a great personality…I could spend an entire session with just her!And, Aaron has that same look for Elizabeth…complete and total love!!

At last…the date has been set, plans are being made and it’s going to be a beautiful and fabulous day…not only for Aaron and Elizabeth, but for all their family and friends who are there to celebrate this wonderful occasion with them! I can’t wait!!

A+B=SWEETNESS | {Bremerton Children’s Photography}

These two little girls are not only ADORABLE, but both are so very sweet! It was my pleasure to have met this family 3 years ago when Brylee (who will be 3 this month) was born and I must tell you I SO look forward to seeing them when I have a session scheduled! Last summer Brylee welcomed her baby sister, Ava, and are these two little girls ever loved by their parents, Rick and Jessica! When the day arrived for this session, I was so excited to see the girls…it had been July when I last saw them, shortly after Ava was born and I had a “peek” at how much she had grown when I received their Christmas card…and couldn’t wait to capture some special photos for the family. I was greeted at the door by Brylee and Rick and the beautiful smile on Brylee’s face was the BEST! I’m not sure who’s the most excited to see one another – me to see her or her to see me…all I know is that I LOVE the greeting I get each visit as I am welcomed into their home. And, Ava…my oh, my, she’s sure grown and has the best smile….and as you will see, a great series of expressions. It’s always wonderful to catch up with Rick and Jessica during the session…they feel like family after we’ve established such wonderful relationship. So, without further delay…here is this wonderful family, who I truly adore!!!

Byrlee is the most gentle and loving big sister…she totally adores Ava and is always making sure she’s taken care of…I loved seeing this! They are going to be wonderful friends!!!

See what I meant about this family…they are ALL beautiful and their smiles say it all…such a heartwarming sight to see how close this family is!!

Beasely has been a part of this family for many years and sadly he’s battling a liver disease and his life expectancy is maybe another year…so it was very important to get some special photos for Bylee and for the family of their four legged family member. He’s the nicest little guy…always wagging his tail when I arrive and eager to give me a few (or more!) kisses while I’m down at his level. It breaks my heart to think he might not be a part of the next family session…I know what it is like to lose a pet and it is really heartbreaking. Seeing he and Brylee…it makes me smile…he’s so darn quick to give Brylee kisses and even when she thought she was safe…that fast tongue was out faster than you can imagine…I SO love these photos and hope that they do as well!!

AVA…what a baby doll…I LOVE LOVE LOVE her smile…she was such a happy little girl during most of the session and I delighted in the smiles she gave me!!!

Isn’t he super cute…I want to just cuddle up with him on the couch!

Oh, Brylee, she is always a ton of fun and letting her make silly faces had me laughing with her…to see a child be a child and just enjoy life…there’s nothing better!

Another try for Brylee to give Beasely a kiss…guess who was faster…yet again!!

What a beauty…and to think she’s almost three…even though she was showing four fingers…she’s just thinking down the road and getting ready for next year!

I told you that Ava had GREAT smiles…such a happy, happy baby!!

Brylee wanted to make sure her little bear was included in the photos and she shared with me that when she had to have a little surgery this past year and he was right there by her side, to make sure she was okay!

As you can see, Beasely is very gentle with Ava as well…what a wonderful dog!!

My oh my…I can’t get enough of these smiles…she’s just TOO cute!!

Isn’t Brylee beautiful…she has such a natural smile and the prettiest eyes…she’s such a blessing to her family!

Melt my heart!! Little Ava was getting quite tired by the end of the session…and nearly fell asleep in her daddy’s arms!

And, as you can see, she did fall asleep in her mommy’s arms…I LOVE seeing a baby snuggled with her mom!

Some fun and games with Brylee…she’s got some super powers and can jump REALLY high!!

Brylee was excited to show me one of her gifts from Christmas…a new camera! Her parents said she wanted one after I let her take a couple of photos last year with my camera…I can’t wait to see what she is shooting…who knows, someday you might just see some famous photos from this little one!

Rick and Jessica, you have two beautiful girls and I can’t tell you how much I enjoy photographing and spending time with all of you during the sessions. You are so blessed and I’m ever so thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know all of you! Thank you for trusting me to capture some special memories for your family…it truly is MY pleasure, I really do adore all of you!
