Just over a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful little girl and what fun it has been to see her grow and change this past year. Her mom (and aunt) and I have a working relationship for our businesses and that has been a joy…such great women and so talented…not to mention kind and thoughtful…and I must say that sweet Maddy is definitely following in her mommy’s footsteps! With a birthday the day before Halloween, how could we not have the session at a pumpkin patch and so we all met at Spooner Farms in Orting and we were closely watching the weather that day. It was one of those days “between” the dry days, but it was dry that morning and we all had our fingers crossed that the rain would hold off until after our session. So, we were successful…for part of the session, but the little bit of rain that did come down didn’t dampen our spirits or run us off, we were able to get in everything we wanted to and had a great time – despite the rain! Let me tell you this is such a fun family…they love to laugh and play and it’s evident just how much Maddy’s parents love her…she is truly the apple of their eyes! Although, I must say, that next spring, Maddy will be competing with a new family member for a bit of her parents attention…which is exciting and I know that they have more than enough love for another child!
Look at this cutie…does that smile just not grab you right in…she is a sweetheart!
And, those eye are beautiful…
You can see that Maddy is quite the character…she knew what she wanted (like stomping in the mud!!!) and loved to laugh, but when she didn’t want to smile or was done with the photos, she let me know…I love a little girl who knows what she wants!

Cousin’s Abby and Lily (and their parents) joined us that day at the pumpkin patch…couldn’t resist some of the cousins together…how cute are these three girls!!
I love these two photos above, it’s refreshing to see such love and admiration between a parent and child….what blessing they are to one another! And, you can see that Maddy and her daddy obviously have a good time together!!
And the rain came, but it didn’t stop us and Maddy had nearly as much fun with the umbrella as she did with the mud puddles!!
Is this not the SWEETEST face you’ve ever seen….just how do her parents say no to her?!!
Love this…such a beautiful family…besides that is what’s most important in life, family and sharing together!!!
I must say that what first comes to my mind when I see this cute little one…Shirley Temple! And I’m guessing most of you think that as well…the curls are so pretty…and those combined with this beautiful little girl…makes her just perfect! Hailey is three and is a typical three year old…curious, busy, full of energy and independent! It was a delight to photograph her and to have her mom (dad is in the military and not home right now), grandparents and her aunt and uncle join her…what a great looking group they all are! The morning wwe met was cloudy and a tad cooler than it had been, but it worked out great and we enjoyed strolling around the pond. Hailey proved to be quite the explorer, collecting sticks, flowers, grass, rocks and more…I love watching little ones explore their environment! It’s obvious she loves her mom and was happy to have those she loved with her that day…and don’t let that beautiful face fool you…she is strong willed and determined to do things her way…which is a good thing, but I’m guessing she keeps everyone on their toes! It was a delight to photograph her and spend the morning with her family…thank you for asking me to capture a bit of life for your family that day!!
