Baby Kennedy | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

This beautiful new baby was 10 days old when I had the pleasure of meeting him. Kennedy Allen Curtis is a handsome little guy and in a short time has totally wrapped his parents around his little fingers. Earlier this fall, I had the pleasure of meeting his parents, Alicia and Marcus, when I did their maternity photos. Such a great couple and SO very excited for their son to arrive…I quickly could see that they now felt complete with Kennedy in their arms. Now, if you saw the maternity photos, you know what great looking parents Kennedy has…and this little guy is taking after his parents…such a beautiful family and capturing some of their first family photos was an honor for me. These will hopefully be a wonderful memory of when their son joined their family! This little guy wasn’t so sure about sleeping and definitely let us know what he liked and didn’t like…and he LOVES snuggling with his mom or dad…the most precious sight…a new parent holding tight to their new baby…you can just feel the love!Aren’t they all gorgeous…I loved watching these parents with their new son!

And this outfit was perfect since Kennedy arrive a month before Christmas and is the great gift to his parents and the rest of the family…he’s such a perfect baby…a little angel!
Be still my heart…..

OH, how I love little feet and with his momma’s ring on his tiny toe…I couldn’t resist!

Daddy and son…ahhh, I love this!

TOO darn cute…love his sweet mouth!

Congratulations Alicia and Marcus on your beautiful new son…Kennedy is adorable and I loved sharing a bit of your time with him and capturing some memories for all of you! My best to you for a wonderful holiday season with your newly expanded family!

Landon turns ONE | {Puyallup Children Photography}

MY OH MY…how much fun are ONE year olds!! This ADORABLE and HANDSOME little guy just turned one, actually on the day we did his session and I had a blast with him. He’s a happy boy, filled with many smiles and dimples that are sure to capture the hearts of many (girls!!) over his lifetime! Now, I’ve said this before, I love photographing people, but I must admit that the little ones, and maybe just one year olds…the very best. You just never know what they are going to do and you get to play through the entire session! Of course, this gives me the right to do and say silly things…and get away with it!! Landon, as you can see is SUPER cute, but he’s quite sweet…he played a little bit shy, but not for long and watching him light up with the toys and the smiles he gave me…oh, how excited I am for his parents to see the photos. He will be SO much fun at Christmas this year…I can only imagine the joy his parents will experience as they watch their baby boy during the holidays this year…they are truly blessed…as is Landon to have such loving and caring parents!!

Landon was standing and not taking more than a step or two on his birthday, but I’ve heard he’s now getting the hang of walking…and I would imagine keeping his parents busy with his explorations!!Talk about handsome…he certainly takes the cake!!!And, then came time for the BEST part of the session…the cupcake smash! Landon didn’t let me down…he seemed to have as much fun as I (and his mom) did, watching him!!!I couldn’t believe how gentle he was with the cupcake pedestal, this was neat to watch and shows just how sweet he really is!
YEAH…I get to play in food and make a mess and I like it!!!!He did a great job on it!!So, this is what being ONE is all about…hmm, I kind of like it!!As I said, he did a good job with it!!The “leftovers!”

Happy Birthday, Landon…you are a sweetheart and I adored my time with you…here’s to many more wonderful birthday’s filled with lots of love and joy!!

SUPERSTARS…Mom & Girls | {Spokane Family Photography}

Earlier this month I was in Spokane, visiting my mom and celebrating her birthday with her. The visit allowed an opportunity to finally get this family’s photos…we’ve been trying to connect for about two years in the fall or spring…and schedules just haven’t worked out…until now!! Mom…aka, Connie, is mother to beautiful teenage daughters, Kat and Hanna, and three of them could be mistaken for Charley’s Angels…they are a hoot together, laughing and goofing around much of the time, yet always watching out for one another! Seeing the bond between them is heartwarming and it’s almost as though they know what the other(s) need before they do! We spent a GORGEOUS fall morning in downtown Spokane, part of the time outside and part inside the historic Spokane Club, where Connie is the sports and fitness director. Just the day before the session is rained nearly all day and yet, we awoke this morning to clearing skies and even sunshine…and my heart skipped a beat with excitement…it is so beautiful in the area we shot outside that I would have been sad to have missed the opportunity! After a lot of laughing and goofing around an plenty of photos, we had brunch, with my mom and family, as well as Connie’s parents – for my mom’s birthday! You see, Connie’s mom is my God Mother…more like an aunt and I consider Connie a cousin…there’s no blood connecting us, but often, the ties are stronger between non-related “family!” Here is a peek at the fun we had….enjoy!!

Hanna and Kate are both at Ferris H.S. on the south hill in Spokane, Kat being a senior and Hanna a freshman this year.

Did I not mention there was lots of goofing around and laughing…and this was just the beginning!Since Kat had her own session last summer, I thought Hanna needed a few photos of just her…to hold her over until she’s a senior! Isn’t she beautiful!

Ummmm…a little more craziness…these were called “hair stashes!” Connie’s didn’t work very well!Aren’t they all BEAUTIFUL…such natural beauty!!

Sisters and friends…the best of the best!And, not only do the girls go to Ferris, that is where Connie went to high school as well (me, too!!)…so a great connection there!Connie has done a fabulous job raising her girls…she has a lot to be proud of!And, more goofing around…actually, Hanna lost her boot running out of the street and “hopped” her way to the sidewalk while Kat retrieved it…as a car was coming their way!Love you…sister!!!Crazy hair…crazy women!! Love them!WOW…love this photo!!!Isn’t Connie stunning…and she’s even nicer…such an amazing person!!More crazy hair!!The end!!!
