Abigail & Logan | {Puyallup Children’s Photography}

Watching little ones grow over the years, is a a perk of my job…and when the little ones are also friends, it’s even more of a treat to have the opportunity to photograph the stage…and ages! The Swifts have been highlighted here before and it’s always fun to put together their blog to share with everyone. Abigail is turning three…TODAY…she has been a blessing and a delight to her parents and family for three years and as you will see, she’s got quite the personality…that shines through in photos (you should see her in person…it’s even brighter!). Sharing the spotlight with Abigail is her baby brother, Logan who will soon be 8 months old and has added to this wonderful family! He’s a very mellow and easy going baby…who is quite content just watching his sister play and hardly makes a peep…unless he has something to say!! These cuties kept me on my toes and make me work for their photos, but the more work that goes into it, the more fun I have and the more I love the photos…and that is just the case with these!! 🙂

Can you see the sparkle in Abigail’s eyes?!? She is full of energy and lots of creative ideas…I can only imagine what the future holds for her!How can one resist the bare buns of babies…and this photo with Logan and his “new friend” is just too darn cute…of course, he’ll not be happy with this when he’s 16, but I’m thinking his mom and dad will love it!!

Abigail is a wonderful big sister…so thoughtful and caring and always concerned about Logan!She’s very proud to be THREE…and happy to show off her new shirt!Another one that Logan may not like later on, but I love it…and his bright smile is priceless!A special photo with her momma…who as you can see she closely resembles…such a special relationship between these two!!And baby Logan LOVES playing with his momma…as the smile on his face shows!!

What a wonderful family…it’s hard to believe that I knew Michael and Allison even before they were married…and now, look at this sweet family!!

Michael and Allison…thank you for trusting me to capture some special memories for your family…cherish your little ones for they will be grown before you know it! It’s always a delight so spend some time with all of you and to watch your little ones grow!!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, ABIGAIL!!

 

Delightful Logan | {Puyallup Children Photography}

What a treat it was last Saturday afternoon to meet this cute and busy baby…Logan, just 8 months old is VERY active and quite the charmer. Beautiful eyes and long locks that most baby girls would envy…he charmed me from the moment he woke up upon his arrival! It’s not uncommon for a little one to take a bit to get comfortable with my studio, the lights, my camera and of course, me…but Logan was smiling and playing from the word GO!! He was awesome and such fun! I was amazed and impressed when at one point…he crawled a bit and then just stood up…and did a few squats!! For an 8 month old, that is huge and I can see he will be walking SOON and keeping everyone around him quite busy! This is such a fun age…they engage when you talk with them, play with them and their sweet personalities begin to shine through and this little guy definitely made my afternoon!

And, you can see just how much his momma adores him…obviously would do anything for this little guy!!

At this age, EVERYTHING goes in the mouth…and although I can’t imagine just how good it would taste…Logan seemed to really enjoy the wooden fish!!

Both Logan’s dad and mom adore him and it’s obvious he is truly loved…which is what every baby deserves…and needs!!

Is this not the cutest shirt…Logan looks like a little ROCK star…I can only imagine in 20 years that he will love these photos…And, Logan’s grandma joined him for his session and I can imagine just how much she loves this little guy…more than words can say!!SO sweet!!!!!!!!!

LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE

Bare baby buns…too cute, but this might be one that Logan won’t like as much in 20 years….LOL

I love this photo…it’s as though he’s being protected by his parents and feels secure and confident!

Logan, it was wonderful to meet you…as well as your mom, dad and grandma…you are a sweetie and I know you will continue to charm all who meet you!!

 

Ainsley…4 Years Old | {Tacoma Children’s Photography}

It doesn’t seem possible that Ainsley is already FOUR years old! She was just 6 months old when I first met her and it’s been great to watch her grow and change the past couple of years! She is not only a beautiful little girl, but very bright and a TON of fun! She tried to play “shy” when we first met up on a cloudy Sunday morning, but that didn’t last for long…before long, we were running, climbing stairs and playing games! That is one of the best parts of my job…I get to play a lot…be silly, make faces, and encourage my “kids” to do the same!! I loved that Ainsley’s mom wanted Ainsley being herself…so the funny faces and the great expressions were part of who she is…and I think she figured me out pretty quick, as she had me working out, while we played/shot….and she managed to get quite a few piggy back rides from me on some of the stairs we climbed! As I said, a smart little girl! Despite the cool weather, we managed to stay warm by moving a lot and really, this is what a child at this age is doing anyway…moving and learning and exploring…which is what I love to watch…and capture!! So…here is Ainsley…….Isn’t that smile AWESOME!!!And SUCH pretty eyes…with lots of sparkle and a definite glitter for life!!Now, I believe her mom knows this look well…and I LOVED it…how could you ever get mad at this face!!She loved all the colors of the glass…it was great to “see” something new through her eyes!!Ahh, the reward…a cherry sucker and it was well deserved, Ainsley was great and SO much fun!!

Meghan, great to see you and Ainsley again…and to meet your mom…enjoy the photos and know that there are some more to come!!
