Lincoln is ONE & a BIG Brother | {Puyallup Children’s Photography}

A highlight of each year are the little ones that I am blessed to be able to photograph during the BABE’S FIRST YEAR plan that I have! It’s a joy to watch parents welcome a child to their lives and see them all grow into a beautiful family! This little guy, Lincoln, is very sweet and a gentle little boy who not only is lucky enough to have some incredibly loving parents, but as he was turning one, a new little one was about to join their family! Violet was welcomed  into this family shortly after Lincoln turned ONE…so we combined the session for Lincoln’s first birthday with Violet’s newborn photos…and this adorable little girl was just 4 days old…and what a doll! Dad and mom, Phillip and Shawna…are relaxed, loving and incredibly thankful parents..loving their beautiful children more than you can imagine and thankful for their good health!! I’ve said this before, but I love meeting new people, capturing some special photos and memories for them and most of all, making new friends through the process…how lucky am I!! Without further ado…here is Lincoln, Violet and their parents!!

My heart is warmed by seeing this family grow and what a joy to see how sweet and loving Lincoln is with Violet…I am sure they will be wonderful friends and I have no doubt that Violet will hold her own with her big brother as time goes on! I can’t wait to watch them over this next year and see these little ones as they begin to see just how amazing it is to have a sibling…that loves you unconditionally! Phillip and Shawna, you have such beautiful children – they are so lucky to have you two for parents! Thank you for trusting me with capturing such special memories in your lives!!

Ainsley and her parents | {Tacoma Family Photography}

With the mild winter we’ve had in the area lately, it was just our luck that the day scheduled for Ainsley’s 5 year session was a very chilly morning…although, we had some beautiful sunshine and despite the cold…it turned out to be an awesome session! It’s been a year since I’ve seen this little beauty and oh my goodness, how she’s grown and what fun it was to hang out with her! Last year she was a bit shy and not so sure about letting go of her mom for the photos…and this year, it was nothing like that! Ainsley was SO much fun and the smiles just kept coming, along with lots of giggles and silliness! It’s such a delight to watch my clients grow up…I first met Ainsley when she was just 6 months old and I’ve loved every session with her! She had both mom and dad (aka…Meghan and Dave) with her for this session as well…and there was an extra reason this session was so special! Mom is expecting another little one (a girl!!) early this summer…so we added a little bit of maternity into Ainsley’s session…a perfect reason to celebrate a very sweet 5 year old who will soon become a big sister!!!

Borgerding Family | {Puyallup Family Photography}

With the holidays quickly approaching, it seems that my days (and nights of editing) get busier as each day goes by…so, I made a decision that the blog posts for clients would be put on “hold” until after the holidays, or I’m caught up and have a bit of extra time! With that being said, I am posting a few photos…a mini blog…for this family as today is Mom’s birthday and I wanted to give her a little extra peek at some of the photos from their session just a week ago! Meet the Borgerding family…mom and dad, aka, Greg and Leah, and their beautiful and kiddos, Luke and Amelia!! My family has had the pleasure of knowing them for over 8 years…when they moved in next door to us, but of course, the kiddos weren’t in the picture at that time!! Watching their family grow and sharing in the lives of the kids as they celebrated birthdays – a delight and joy to see this family grow from two to four over the years!

As I said, today is mom’s birthday, and I wanted to give Leah a special gift, of some more photos of her beautiful family that I’ve had the pleasure of watching over the years and capturing some special moments in their lives!! Happy Birthday, Leah…wishing you a wonderful day and MANY more birthdays ahead!!
