Borgerding Family | {Puyallup Family Photography}

With the holidays quickly approaching, it seems that my days (and nights of editing) get busier as each day goes by…so, I made a decision that the blog posts for clients would be put on “hold” until after the holidays, or I’m caught up and have a bit of extra time! With that being said, I am posting a few photos…a mini blog…for this family as today is Mom’s birthday and I wanted to give her a little extra peek at some of the photos from their session just a week ago! Meet the Borgerding family…mom and dad, aka, Greg and Leah, and their beautiful and kiddos, Luke and Amelia!! My family has had the pleasure of knowing them for over 8 years…when they moved in next door to us, but of course, the kiddos weren’t in the picture at that time!! Watching their family grow and sharing in the lives of the kids as they celebrated birthdays – a delight and joy to see this family grow from two to four over the years!

As I said, today is mom’s birthday, and I wanted to give Leah a special gift, of some more photos of her beautiful family that I’ve had the pleasure of watching over the years and capturing some special moments in their lives!! Happy Birthday, Leah…wishing you a wonderful day and MANY more birthdays ahead!!

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!

Kinsley turns TWO | {Puyallup Children’s Photographer}

What a delight to see Kinsley as she celebrated her second birthday. It had been a year and oh, how much fun it is to see how these little ones grow and change over the time between sessions! And, how fortunate were we to have such a beautiful day to “play” outside for her session. Mom had a very cute little tank for her to wear with a sparkly tutu and it was obvious that Kinsley is quite happy to be all GIRL! Of course, she is also two and she also enjoyed exploring and really enjoyed the bubbles which were a great prop/bribe during the session. The smiles and sweetness just oozed from this adorable little girl during the entire session…I think she could have gone on longer…she seemed to be having as much fun as I was…such a cutie…as you can see!
