Ayrianna turns 9 | {Puyallup Family Photographer}

Kudos to this delightful young lady as when we had her session it was one of those blasting 90 degree days here in the Puget Sound and she didn’t complain a single time! Ayrianna is not only a beautiful girl, but so very sweet, kind and caring and during her session, she was very relaxed and natural…it was just easy and fun to photograph her! As her mom calls this birthday…her “golden” birthday since it’s her last year of being in the single digits…it was touching to watch just how emotional her mom was watching her baby, who is turning into a lovely young lady…growing up before her very eyes! As any parent knows…watching your children grow up is a delight, but also a bit sad when you know that the little child who was so dependent and looked to you for everything is becoming more independent and doesn’t always need you. This family is a blast to hang out with…I’ve known them for a few years…and had the pleasure of photographing Aaron and Elizabeth’s wedding a couple years ago (such fun!!!) and they have gone from clients to friends, which is a true blessing with my job! So…as you will see, Ayrianna has a beautiful smile and eyes that sparkle and even more than that…she’s a strong and confident girl who I know will achieve whatever she puts her mind to in life!!

Kara – 6 months | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

Sweet, sweet Kara turned 6 months old last month…look at this beautiful little one and those eyes that sparkle and shine! It’s a delight to follow “my babies” through their one year sessions and I’m always in awe of the changes and seeing how the little ones and their parents have grown and bonded. This wonderful family is so great…Abbie and Chris are relaxed and loving parents and it’s obvious they are totally in love with Kara!! Yes, their lives have changed in the past year, but they have embraced it and are growing and learning right along with Kara…and it’s truly a blessing to see such great families bringing little ones into this world who I know are going to grow into happy, healthy and thriving people. So, without further ado…here is sweet Kara (and an ADORABLE little ladybug at the end of the post!). Kara_6mos_0001

Dudek Family | {Puyallup Family Photography}

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this beautiful family and I can’t say just how much I enjoyed my time with them. Right from the start, I knew it was going to be fun and easy…Andrew, 4 years old introduced himself and had the best smile…and him mom, Liz was so relaxed and at ease, that I could just tell this was going to be a great session. We had a beautiful fall day, great colors and wonderful park and everything fell together just perfectly! Liz and Joe are such relaxed parents and were so easy to talk with and work with…and that all reflected on their beautiful and very sweet children, Andrew and Emily. I must admit, these two little ones stole my heart and I could have brought them home with me in a heartbeat…what cuties and so well behaved and such fun to hang out with! Emily became my pal and walked me me and let me adjust her shirt or headband whenever needed! It was interesting talking with Joe and Liz…they’ve recently moved from Kentucky, but were originally from NY and Colorado…so have both moved around a bit, but have a great attitude about their moving and I couldn’t help but feel a connection as their moves are similar to those my husband and I (and our children) made when they were little…and the kids were smilier ages…and in talking with Liz…she said that she felt like the moves have made them a stronger family, a stronger couple – that they’ve had to rely on each other in harder times and learn how to get through it all together…and that is just how my husband and I felt when we moved away from family with our little ones…I know this family missed their family from their hometowns, but I must say, I feel blessed to have met them and had some time getting to know them! As you will see, this is one GREAT looking family!!!!!

Joe and Liz…thank you for your patience in waiting for this post…I hope it was worth the wait. The gallery will be ready soon! And, know that I was serious when I said, I’d be happy to watch your kiddos for you, if you ever need a “surrogate” grandma!! <3
