Brylee turns TWO | {Bremerton Family Photographer}

What a TREAT it was to see sweet little Brylee again…although I must say, she’s sure grown since I saw her a year ago! This darling turned two last month and I’ve had the pleasure of photographer her since she was born! Watching little ones grow into toddlers (and beyond) is the most amazing thing and to think that it’s part of my job…how lucky am I! Besides watching this beautiful little one grow up, I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her parents…they are the such delightful people and incredible parents…and I’ve loved creating the relationship we have over the past two years! Talk about a blessing…on the day we were going to do Brylee’s photos, the forecast was for SUN…yes, I said SUN…and if you are at all familiar with the Pacific Northwest in January, February (March and April for that matter)…sunshine is a rare thing, especially when it comes with some mild temperatures and this day we had both…it was 60 degrees! Holy smokes, that doesn’t happen often, and we were all so happy…and welcomed the opportunity to get Brylee outside for some photos…it was so much fun! Bubbles and her new bike were the highlight of our time outside, oh, as well as a bit of “yard work” that she was working on, pulling a bit of grass and some of the dormant plants that were in the beds…Brylee enjoyed the outdoors as much as the rest of us! I’ll tell you, this beauty grabbed my heart as well as my husband’s when we were there, she was so sweet and wanted to make sure we were included in everything she did and we got the biggest hugs when we left…oh, that’s the best bonus ever from a session!!

Brylee showed us how she likes to dance with her Dora doll…this girl has got great moves!!undefined

There isn’t much sweeter than a little girl and her daddy…love this photo of them…and you can see where she gets her beauty…from her mom!!undefined

The smiles just kept coming…she was amazing and such a great little “model” for her session…she just kept shining through the entire time! undefined

Her new bike, she’d just gotten and wow, she knew just what to do on this, she took right off pedaling….what a pro!undefined

Brylee was also great with the bubbles and even shared once in a while with her parents! And, like any girl, she wanted to check out the photos…so she got a sneak peek from the back of the camera!!undefined

Such a happy little girl, smiling and chattering away through the whole session!

undefinedundefinedWhat a delightful family…and the exciting part is that in July, they will be adding to their family! I’m so excited for them and CAN’T wait to meet the newest family member…I know that Brylee with be a great big sister!!

She was quite the hostess…and offered both my husband and myself tea as well as little cakes and even gave us refills…SO much fun!!undefined

This beautiful and precious smile says it all…she is a very happy and fun two year-old who made my job SO much fun on this beautiful winter afternoon! Thank you, Brylee, Rick and Jessica…you are all awesome!

Brylee at 6 months {Bremerton Baby Photographer}

Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Brylee again! This was my third session with this little cutie and what a delight to see how she’s grown and changed since the last session. She’s still a petite little girl, but I fell in love with her smile and expressions during the session and she has definitely learned how to “flirt” with those around her…wow, she’s a beauty and as she gets older, her parents (dad, especially!!) will be watching those boys who come calling! Brylee was SOO good through the whole session and the only time she wasn’t happy was when we tried to put a tutu on her…she did NOT like the tulle on her soft skin…so we quickly decided she’d have to be older before trying that again! And, it was a treat to have a chance to get some family photos during this session as well…her parents are such a nice couple and they all are a very sweet family! When I shot the last session, her dad was at work, so it was great to have him join in the fun…and we had to include their dog, Beasley, in family photos…he sure didn’t like being left out of the photos!! Here’s a peek at what I captured that beautiful summer afternoon!

Megan & Jeff {Engagement Photographer}

  A quick trip down to Boise, Idaho this past weekend had the purpose of an engagement session with a very cute couple who are getting married on New Year’s Eve. We were there for about 30 hours, but managed to pack a lot into the time. Visiting with good friends (parents of the bride to be) was wonderful and we got a tour of the church and were able to talk with the church’s wedding coordinator to find out more about that special day! We can’t wait to return for their big day…talk about a celebration…besides being New Year’s Eve….it will be a beautiful wedding for this special couple!

Megan is a gorgeous young woman and Jeff isn’t too bad himself…and together, what a great looking couple they make…and both are so very nice…it was my pleasure to be asked to do their photos. And, truth be told, I could photograph them all day…although, I’m not so sure Jeff would like that…he’s more your typical guy who isn’t that fond of photos and figured two or three would be good enough…haha…he didn’t know me and my style! I will say he was a GREAT sport and didn’t complain a bit and I think that because he loves Megan so much, he would have done about anything for her! A warm evening there and some pretty scenes around their home, we didn’t have to go far and as a matter of fact the first spot was right in Megan’s parents back yard with a beautiful pond behind them…talk about heaven, it was beautiful there! OH, and we can’t forget their “child” who was part of the session for some photos…Bailey, a cute little lhasa apso mix who is very sweet and has a funny little “snaggle” tooth (not my words…the “grandfather” of the dog used this term!!)…what a cute family they are!!

Here are just a few of the many photos I took that evening…they are the nicest couple!!!! Can’t wait for their wedding!!!
