Lil’ Sis Elliana | {Puyallup Newborn Photographer}

It’s been such a joy to meet and photography so many newborns this year…I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these precious new little ones, who have literally – their whole life ahead of them. In meeting their parents and hearing the wonderful stories of love and incredible delight as they talk about their newest addition to their lives. Sweet Elliana is a beauty, but she wasn’t so little when she arrived and was a little bit of a surprise to her parents that she was so big, but it didn’t change a single thing about how delighted they were when she arrived, joining their family which includes big brother, Jackson, who is not quite two. Jackson is a cutie and has the greatest smile, but was quite evasive when it came to staying still…he much preferred playing with the toys in the hallway or running outside with daddy…some day he will love having a little sister to play with, but for now, he wasn’t too interested in her! I chuckle as the age difference between these two is just what the age difference is between our kids (now parents themselves!!)…and it was just the same, our son really didn’t seem very excited about his new little sister, but as she got older, they were each others best playmates…I’m sure someday Jackson and Elliana will become best of friends!! Jennifer and Frank were a pleasure to meet and so relaxed and at ease with their two beautiful children! I’m so lucky to be able to meet such amazing people and especially at a time when they are filled with amazing love (and maybe a little exhaustion!!)…welcoming a new little one to a family is truly one of the most exciting times of ones lives!!

Frank and Jennifer…congratulations on your beautiful new daughter and enjoy your new expanded family! I look forward to seeing all of your in six months for Elliana’s next session…I can’t wait to see she and Jackson!!!

Sweet Violet | {Puyallup Children’s Photographer}

Such a sweet little girl, Violet is now 6 months old and part of my Babe’s First Year plan (as was her big brother, Lincoln)…this cutie has the most beautiful eyes and was SO good during her session. She shared some time with Lincoln as well as her parents during the session and it was wonderful. We had beautiful weather, not too warm and not too cold…and dry (it had rained the day before!)…ideal for little ones! I just love all the outfits that mom had picked out for Violet and she was a real trooper with the outfit changes, not minding a bit! She was quite curious about the long dry grasses and was doing her best to try and get to them, wherever she was seated. It took some extra work to distract her from this new found thing that she of course, ever tried putting in her mouth! What little one doesn’t put any new thing they find in their mouth. Big brother, Lincoln, was full of smiles and loved exploring while his sister was busy getting her photos taken…and he especially like the big trees around there…he’s definitely all boy and I’m sure will teach Violet all the things he has learned as she gets bigger! She isn’t quite crawling, but I am sure she is by now or will soon be and can hardly wait to see what she’s up to when her one year session rolls around in February!

Johnny turns ONE | {Puyallup Children’s Photographer}

As I’ve said before, the highlight of my work is following families as they grow and watching the children grow up…it is really a gift to be able to have the pleasure of meeting these new little ones and watching them grow into a little person in time. Johnny is now a year old and WOW…what a handsome little guy! He’s now one and is walking, running, climbing and more…he is a very busy little guy!! I had the pleasure of meeting his family a few years ago and photographing his big sister, Mary and have really enjoyed getting to know all of them. This little guy is full of energy and has a spark in his eyes that let you know he’s ready to keep moving an exploring! Johnny is a happy and curious toddler who had one smile after another during his session…I loved my time with him!!

JohnnyBlog_0007 A little Seahawk fan… JohnnyBlog_0008 JohnnyBlog_0009 JohnnyBlog_0010 Big sister, Mary, is so good with Johnny…and it’s obvious that he adores her! JohnnyBlog_0011 JohnnyBlog_0012 JohnnyBlog_0013 What little boy doesn’t give rocks and dirt a try at least once in the early years!?! JohnnyBlog_0014 JohnnyBlog_0015 JohnnyBlog_0016 Ahh, he’s still for a bit, and playing with the trucks…what a delight this session was!

Dave and Melinda, I thoroughly enjoyed the time with your family during Johnny’s session…thank you for sharing a bit of your day – I hope you two had a nice dinner celebrating your anniversary!
