Sweet Hailey | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

What a delight when you have a joy of watching a baby grow and change…and to have the opportunity to capture some special memories of the first year of a baby’s life…it’s about the best job I can think of! I SO love seeing a baby grow and change over the first year and seeing this beautiful little one was a delight when she arrived for her one year session. Hailey is not only an adorable baby, but what a sweet and gentle disposition she has…she was so much fun and I was charmed with her precious smiles, which never seemed to end during the session. A happy and loved little one, as you will see, this one year old has a wonderful life ahead of her, with loving parents and a lifetime of endless opportunities!

What a hoot it was to watch Hailey with her cup “CAKE” smash…she was precise, thorough and quite dainty…leaving very little to clean up afterwards!!

Emma SMASHES it! | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

Just over a short year ago, our lives were blessed with the addition of a new granddaughter, Emma Lynn, who although she arrived early, it didn’t dampen our excitement or love that we had for her. Her first month was spent in the hospital, and once she came home, she fit perfectly into the lives of her parents, Sean and Jessalyn. Emma is their first child and let me tell you that these two new parents are amazing and naturals at this parenting thing!! I know that their roles as parenting didn’t start out quite as they expected, but they both stepped up to the task and didn’t bat an eye at what was involved the first month. Now, she’s over a year old and absolutely perfect!! She’s petite, but very mighty and likes to explore, and isn’t afraid to venture into “unknown” territory! She’s going to be an active and keep her parents on her toes!

For her cake smash, just a few days before her birthday, she was introduced to a cupcake, icing…aka…SUGAR!! Her first taste of the icing, she wasn’t sure about the texture, but continued tasting (and playing with it!)…and then we gave her a taste of the cake part, which she loved…absolutely LOVED and couldn’t get it in fast enough! It was so darn cute…and I must say, that the cake smash is one of my favorite parts of a one year old’s session…it’s such a joy to watch and a time that the little once can play with their food and not be told no!! Emma didn’t let us down, she made a good mess, really enjoyed her introduction into sugar and had lots of fun!

The cupcake was from Wanna Cupcake…I HIGHLY recommend them, their cupcakes are D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S…..

And…she’s done, ready to be cleaned up…and standing on her own for a couple of seconds…which will soon be longer and then walking…then the really busy times begin for her!!

BATHTIME…she loved it!!

Okay, I couldn’t resist the “naked buns” of this little cutie…all babies must have a few of these photos, for if nothing else to embarrass them when they are teenagers, but hopefully, to show just how darn cute they are!

Keep your eyes peeled for a post in the near future from Emma’s FIRST Birthday party…it was a blast and so fun to see her take it all in! Thank you all for indulging me with my personal posts, but I just can’t resist!

Hello Hailey | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

This absolutely adorable little one is Hailey, who is now six months old. She first made an appearance here shortly after she was born and I so look forward to when the babies return during their first year. She was full of smiles and plenty of giggles (baby giggles are the BEST!!), during the session and such a relaxed and happy baby. It’s obvious her parents have totally fallen in love with her…even  more than from the first session and are ever so attentive! I asked if Hailey was sitting by herself yet…something that is either something most at this age have either just mastered, or are working on. Hailey was working on it, but I think by the end of the session, I’d say, she had come close to mastering it…she had good balance and seemed pleased with herself for her new skill! You will see that this cutie has a great smile and I just love her sweet little nose wrinkle when she smiles…it’s the cutest!!!

These two photos cracked me up…in the first one, Hailey had such a serious look on her face and so dad tried to copy her in the second photo…I think she’s already teasing and playing games with her daddy!!

A mommy’s shoulder is the most comforting place in the world when you are little…whether happy, sad, tired or hungry…it’s always the RIGHT place!OH, how I love watching babies play with…and “eat” their toes…ahhh, the flexibility of a baby, amazing and something I can’t even imagine!! LOLAs you can see…this sweet one is SO very loved by her parents!!I LOVE LOVE LOVE these photos…her sweet smile and expressions will melt your heart!

Oh…shoes, something new and intriguing!!

Hailey was lucky enough to have the Easter Bunny bring her a few new “WubbNub’s” this year…and wow, something that is a great invention…much easier to keep track of and for the little ones…to hold on to!!I must say that these two photos might just be among my favorite from the session…so sweet…mommy & daughter…LOVE!And, Hailey sure loves her daddy as well…it’s heartwarming!!Tags…a fascination that definitely entertains her for quite a while!OH…the cutest expressions…it just never ended!!A big grin and lots of giggles…the best!!A girl and her pearls…starting her young…I told her daddy to start shopping!! LOLA beautiful and very happy family…I so enjoyed my time with Hailey and her parents…and I can’t wait until her one year session!!!
