Kiwi & Kiki – Valentine’s | {cute, cute, cute}

What can I say, these photos speak for themselves! You’ve seen these little girls before, three of them below to the owners of “Kiwi and Kiki” and they are modeling some of their great new items they have for sale! Of course, the pettiskirts…they are the star of this shoot…so darn cute and I can’t imagine any little (or big!) girl that wouldn’t want one of these! The three red ones were for Christmas for their girls and the purple one…well, I am happy to say that it’s mine…and I have it here for any little ones that would like to wear it during a shoot! How cute would a newborn or a 6 month old, just sitting up, be surrounded by the beautiful ruffles of lavendar! My granddaughter was the model this day for the skirt and I have a feeling she will be asking to wear it again when she’s over…and who can blame her, how fun is it!
 
There are also some adorable and fun headbands, bows and flowers for your little darlings for Valentine’s and spring…you’ve got to see their things…great stuff! There are some fun other things, like an adorable pillow that would be perfect for Valentine’s…for anyone, from little to big and check out the t-shirt with the heart on the front…super sweet!  Can’t forget the newest headbands for the dolls…matching at that…perfect for the girls…and the cupcakes…they look so real, you’ll want to take a bite…as you can see, the girls nearly did!! Okay, so I must admit, I really love what these gals make and sell, but besides that, in the past year (plus!) that I’ve been working with them, I’ve gotten to know them and their children (husbands, too…they are great “wranglers when needed!)…and am proud to call them my friends…they are both so nice, sincere, hardworking, great moms and just kind and generous people…who doesn’t want friends like this! I’m truly blessed to have “met” them and thankful for our friendship. Okay…on to the photos…the cute products and adorable girls!!!!
LOVE, this photo…her expression is so beautiful…and those eyes…wow!
As I said, my granddaughter (in the purple) was one of the models and she and the other girl in this photo became fast friends…they were having a great time, laughing, being silly and just enjoying being girls…love how kids can make friends so easily!!!
Our youngest little model and wouldn’t you know, she lasted longer than the other three, who headed off to play…this sweetie was great and we had a ton of fun with her…she’s so cute!!!!

An Afternoon Modeling Session…Part II {Puyallup Children’s Photographer}

Okay…it’s time for part II from the shoot last Saturday…I wanted to give the darlings in the first half, their time as top billing on the blog, and now it’s time for the second half to have their time to show just how cute they were. As I said before, it was a delight to meet and photograph each of these children…I absolutely LOVE kids…their genuine expressions are the BEST…whether they are happy, sad, unsure, excited or tired…it is them…and that’s what photographing children is about…photographing who they are at that time…and it’s not always big, happy smiles, but sometimes they are more serious or inquisitive, but it’s who and what they are at that time…and I love that….absolutely LOVE kids and photographing them…so, without any further delay…here are the rest of the gang! 

Ryan and Logan…brothers, as you can tell and they are so cute…love the blond curls and Ryan was awesome…he seemed to enjoy the attention and his smile definitely lit up his face! I must share that I didn’t know these guys (or any of the kids) were going to be part of this shoot…and a couple years ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Ryan with his parents and some cousins…so it was a real treat to photograph him again…and meet Logan…what a doll and such a sweet little guy!! Heartbreaker, for sure!!

Dylan is the best big brother…he was SO good with Tanner and so caring and careful…I loved seeing these two brothers together. And, Dylan, wow, what a nice boy, a little quiet, very polite and I adore those freckles!! Tanner, just 6 months was great, he gave me lots of smiles and wasn’t the least bit afraid of this new situation…I thoroughly enjoyed these boys!!

Check out this family…three boys and one (BEAUTIFUL) girl…and these boys, were all boy! They were great and I absolutely loved what they were wearing…the mom had found the cowboy boots and hats for the younger two and it fit perfectly with their outfits! Joshua, the youngest was very quiet and most of the time, his fingers were in his mouth, but occasionally a smile would sneak out and a couple of times, the hand was even away from the mouth…he’s a character!!! Caleb, the next brother was very sweet and great to do whatever I asked of him…such a nice smile and I loved the shirt he was wearing! Daryl, the oldest of the boys, is a great big brother and whenever Joshua wouldn’t answer a question, he made sure that he filled me in on the answer I was looking for…and was very cooperative! Look at his eyes, wow, they are amazing! And, then, there’s Grace…the only girl of the bunch and SOOO sweet…not to mention beautiful! She was quiet and reserved…but then again, with three brothers, I think she has the right idea…and when I had a few minutes with just her, ahh, what a sweetheart, she’s a doll…I really enjoyed this family…so much fun!

Osian…first of all, I love his name, it’s unique and I think it fits him perfectly! He was a perfect little model, did whatever I asked and his smile melted my heart…such a cutie! He was limiting the photos to start out and then all of a sudden, he decided he liked having the photos taken (and attention) and told him mom only I could take pictures of him (he said “her” and pointed to me…too cute!)…he’s going to definitely have the girls sending him notes as he gets older!

Last, but definitely not least, was Jasmine! Talk about BEAUTIFUL… this sweet little girl has the prettiest features and although she wasn’t really willing to share a smile with me that evening, I could see it was in there and just her pretty features and beautiful coloring was enough to excited me! And, the outfit she was wearing was absolutely perfect on her…I don’t think the colors could have been better…and the headbands and flowers…they were the icing on the cake for this darling! As you can see, the very last photo I took of her shows just how she was feeling…and I don’t blame her a bit, she was my last little model and it was time to head home for her…and I felt the same way…time to head home!

THANK YOU ALL…models and parents…and of course, Kerry and Kristin…it was a pleasure to be a part of this shoot…the beautiful kids, products and time that everyone took for this definitely made it a true success! I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and look forward to more in the future with everyone!

Sweet, sweet Abigail

What a delight to finally meet little Abigail…she’s 3 1/2 months old and one of the CUTEST babies I’ve ever seen…here is just a quick pic from my session with her (more to come after we get home!)…how can you resist that face!?!
