Sweet Hailey | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

What a delight when you have a joy of watching a baby grow and change…and to have the opportunity to capture some special memories of the first year of a baby’s life…it’s about the best job I can think of! I SO love seeing a baby grow and change over the first year and seeing this beautiful little one was a delight when she arrived for her one year session. Hailey is not only an adorable baby, but what a sweet and gentle disposition she has…she was so much fun and I was charmed with her precious smiles, which never seemed to end during the session. A happy and loved little one, as you will see, this one year old has a wonderful life ahead of her, with loving parents and a lifetime of endless opportunities!

What a hoot it was to watch Hailey with her cup “CAKE” smash…she was precise, thorough and quite dainty…leaving very little to clean up afterwards!!

Abby…expecting | {Puyallup Maternity Photography}

What’s more exciting that expecting your first child?! The anticipation, curiosity, a bit of nerves and LOTS of planning, all are part of what a new mother goes through during her pregnancy, especially the first one. Abby and Ken are expecting their first child, a little boy…well, maybe not so little as family history shows babies, especially the boys are not so small, so they are preparing for a little one that might not fit into newborn clothes for long! The glow that Abby had on this lovely August afternoon was nearly as bright as the sun that day. And, dad…Ken, is also very excited to welcome their new son and is very attentive and protective of Abby…it’s so sweet to see and such a lovely sign that this family is destined for lots of love, happiness and many blessings!! Due in October, it’s quite possible that baby will arrive early, so I will anxiously be awaiting to hear the news of his arrival so we can schedule his newborn session.

Boy…does Abby ever “carry” pregnancy well…she looks fabulous and so darn cute!
Abby and Ken, I can’t wait to see the THREE of you and to meet your new son! I wish you well, the last few weeks of your pregnancy, Abby…and pray that all goes well with your baby’s arrival!!

Welcome Jonathan | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

It was such a delight to be able to meet the Roses’ family newest member who joined them early this month…Jonathan! This little, well, not really so little, he was well over 9 lbs – was wanted more than you can imagine and they waited a long time for him and I’m SO very happy for them…it’s a huge blessing and a joy that I know they count daily!! Jonathan joined his big sister, Mary, and she is over the top about being a big sister and Mom, Melinda, says that she’s a great helper and perfect big sister!! I loved how excited Mary was to introduce me to her new brother and show me everything I needed to know for his session on this beautiful summer afternoon.

While Jonathan was awake for part of the session, he also slept at the end, guess we wore him out. He was a great little model and just went along with whatever we did…such a sweetheart!

You can see the pride that Mary has over being a big sister…she loves him so very much!

I so LOVE the “little bits” of newborns…it’s always hard to remember how little they are when they are even just a year old…so capturing these pieces is a great memory and treasure!

Dad (Dave) and Mom are more in love with the son than they could have even imagined…my heart was filled with excitement for them!!

Look at that sweet face…oh my, SO cute!TRUE love…♥

During a feeding break for Jonathan, Mary wanted to help me and take some photos…so we took pictures of each other…I think she has a future…she was very interested in seeing what she shot and trying again to get it right. I love when children are interested in learning and trying new things…she’s such a bright girl!

Modeling is hard work, even for a baby!

Momma and her kiddos…one of the best things in life! ♥

These parents are filled with love for their son and so happy he’s finally here…I know this little guy has the very best parents he could ever have!!

Thank you, Rose Family, introducing me to your new little one…I am so very happy for all of you can can’t wait to watch your kiddos grow up! And, good luck next week with watching Mary head off to school…she’s starting kindergarten and so besides adding a new family member, seeing your first child start school, another huge milestone…so very exciting! ♥
