Handsome Henry | {Puyallup Family Photographer}

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of meeting an adorable little guy who turned 6 months old just a couple of days after his session. Henry has the BEST brown eyes…deep and endless with amazing sparkle! A very sweet boy who is adored by mom and dad, Karina and Matt! It’s always a  delight to meet new families and even more so to to meet new families who are new parents…Karina and Matt are so in love with little Henry and just listening to them talk about their little guy was heartwarming…it’s truly the most precious thing to see parents who are not only in love with one another, but so in love with their new child…and this couple is truly in awe of their little guy! Henry was quite interested in all the activity at the park and watching everything…it was fun to see just how alert and observant he was…although that made it hard to get his attention…I really wasn’t nearly as interesting as everything else that was around that. With that being said…we did get some great smiles and his eyes really stole the show through the whole session…he’s a sweet little baby who I thoroughly enjoyed spending some time with on a pleasant summer morning…

Sweet Baby Harper | {Puyallup Newborn Photographer}

Oh, another little baby girl…another sweet, precious and adorable girl! Harper was just 12 days old when I had the pleasure of meeting her and what a treat it was! Big sister, Ainsley, as well as mom came along for Harper’s session and it was such fun to see how Ainsley adores and loves Harper! It’s obvious there is a lifelong bond, and a forever love that these two will have for one another…that is a beautiful thing to see! Little Harper wasn’t so sure about sleeping when we started out, but as you will see, she finally decided it was far too much work to stay awake, so ended up sleeping the second half of the session. Of course, I couldn’t resist grabbing a few photos of big sis by herself while mom was feeding Harper…I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Ainsley since she was six months old and she’s a kind and fun little girl, not to mention pretty darn cute!! I know that this fall, it will be hard for mom to watch Ainsley head off to kindergarten, but I’m guessing she will be busy with Harper and that will help with the emotions of watching your oldest start school. This little beauty, her sister and mom were great and I always look forward to seeing them (and dad when he can make it!) for their sessions….what a great family who has been blessed by “two feet” that have joined their family!

Beautiful Kara | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

A new baby welcomed into a family is one of the most heartwarming things that can happen to a couple and a family and this little beauty is SO very loved, as you will see in these photos. Abbie and Chris visited me earlier this spring for their maternity photos and I enjoyed talking with them about becoming parents. It’s normal to be excited as well as a bit nervous – these two had been planning and were ready for little Kara’s arrival (except for deciding on her name until she was born!)…although I don’t think they fully understood just how much they would fall in love with her and how quickly she became their everything! It’s incredible to watch a new parent with their child…and to hear just how much they love their new little one and and all the stories of the first few days…I will never get tired of hearing and seeing that! Sweet little Kara has a full head of dark hair and was just a pure delight during her session. A confession…I love the stolen little hugs and sniffs of “new baby” that I get during newborn sessions…it’s the BEST! Abbie and Chris are going to be amazing parents…they are totally committed to this sweet baby and I’m sure will only fall in love with her more and more each day!
