Landon and his PARENTS | {Puyallup Family Photographer}

This little guy is SO darn cute and it was a delight to spend time with he and his parents. Landon is 6 months old and has such a great little personality and was awesome during the session…I loved hanging out with him! His parents, Eric and Jennifer, are actually neighbors of mine and I must admit that I didn’t know them that well before this session. When they contacted me about a session, I was excited and looking forward to seeing Landon and getting a chance to get better acquainted. Another reason why I was so excited about this…Eric serves our country in the military and will be deployed shortly and being able to capture some special photos and memories for their family was something I was more than happy to do for them. First time parents, they are amazing with Landon and watching them love and care for their son was incredible…I will never tire of seeing new parents with their first child…it’s priceless! Mom and Dad are GREAT people, easy to talk with, fun, and have a great sense of humor…they were good sports and fun to photograph! I’m so glad we had such a beautiful day…given the weather we’ve had this month, it was a real treat! Here is a VERY cute little guy….

It was funny to see Landon sticking his tongue out…it was something he had just recently started and they guessed because he was drooling a lot, that there must be some teething working their way in.

Such a CUTE smile and the eyes were amazing…they sparkled so brightly…you can see just how much fun this little guy was by his smiles!!A beautiful family…such a wonderful sight!A very happy and loved little guy…what a blessing to his parents!Thank you, Eric, Jennifer and Landon…I really enjoyed your session and I’m excited for you to see these  photos! Eric, thank you for your service and you will be in my prayers while you are gone…and Jennifer, don’t hesitate to call if you need anything while he’s gone!

Piper…and her Parents | {Olympia Family Photography}

This beautiful little girl, Piper, who recently turned three, has been fun to watch grow up. I first met her when she was just six months old and on the gorgeous day we had for her family’s session, it was delightful to see how Piper is growing into a beautiful and fun little girl! She really is stunning, beautiful hair and eyes that sparkle and shine and her personality is even brighter and she’s easy going and tons of fun to play with. This was the first time I had the pleasure of photographing her whole family, last year, it was just she and her mom…so getting all of them together was wonderful! Dad (aka, Brandon) warned me he doesn’t smile a lot and wasn’t as excited about the session as mom (aka, Varvara) and Piper, but in the end, he was great and I think (hope) enjoyed the time we spent “playing” with Piper. It’s funny, a three year old…nearly any three year old…is full of energy, independent, stubborn and cute as can be when they are doing what they want…and Piper literally stole the show on this afternoon! She didn’t always follow our suggestions, as most kids don’t, but she was awesome and I loved capturing her beautiful spirit and showing just what loving and caring parents she has. And, then there are her parents…who are a gorgeous couple and the love for one another is obvious…I SO enjoyed capturing a few of just them together! Just talking with all of them was enjoyable, they are such nice and down to earth people who are easy to talk to and are grounded…and are awesome parent and an awesome couple!

Oh, how I loved watching dad and daughter…it’s obvious that Piper TOTALLY idolizes her dad and that is a beautiful thing to see!

Gorgeous family….

Bubbles…always a hit with this age…oh wait, big and little, they all enjoy the bubbles!

This smile…lights up a sunny day!!

Oh how I absolutely LOVE this photo….you can see the connection between these two…such an incredible sight!

What three year old doesn’t love “swinging” while walking with her parents…you can see just how much Piper is enjoying it!!

Thank you, Brandon, Varvara and Piper…I had a blast with all of you…thank you for entrusting me to capture some special memories of your family!

Dills Family | {delightfully charming}

Have I said lately just how much I enjoy my job? Well, if you’ve heard it before, you will hear it again because I do LOVE what I do…and meeting families and people like the Dills family is exactly why I love this! We met at the UW Tacoma campus last Sunday afternoon and although I had only spoken with Kimberly (mom), it was something I was really looking to as I could just tell this would be a fun session!!  Not only did I get to meet and know beautiful Dahlia and her parents, Daniel and Kimberly, but they were also joined by Daniel’s parents, Paul and Leticia as well as Daniel’s brother, Paul, Jr.  Such a great family – very easy to talk with, work with and so down to earth! It was a GREAT afternoon!!

Papa and Nana (otherwise known as Paul and Leticia) and Uncle Paul…it was wonderful to see just how close this extended family it…so refreshing!

Paul and Leticia…they were wonderful to visit with and it’s obvious they have a great love for one another…and the pride they beamed with in watching their family was amazing to see!

This little beauty, who is 17 months old, was so good, despite not choosing to take a nap this day…she knew what she wanted and when she was finished with something, she’d “sign” she was all done…it was so cute and I couldn’t help but laugh…and of course, keep shooting!undefined

This little girl is loved dearly by her parents and you can see just how happy she is…her parents were delightful and it was obvious they are SO in love with her!!!

What a handsome looking family…and they are all just nice!

Such a beautiful family…I love this photo!!

Someone has her Papa wrapped around her little finger!!

The boys…and Dahlia…she loves them all!!!!

Yes, I encouraged her to sit on the gravel and play in it…she was quite happy and seemed to really enjoy it…and a little bit of dirt, no problem, that’s part of being a child and growing up!undefined

These grandparents are absolutely LOVING their new roles in life and it was fun to talk with them about just how wonderful it is to be a grandparent…we shared stories with one another about how amazing it is…I completely know how they feel!undefinedundefined

Kimberly and Daniel said they couldn’t remember the last time they had a photo taken of just the two of them…as once Dahlia entered their lives, they have been busy with her, so we made sure to get some of this wonderful couple…just them!

undefinedAnother photo that I LOVE…Dahlia’s expression is priceless and it’s as though she’s letting me know that SHE is in charge…of her parents and not afraid to show that she has them wrapped around her fingers!!!

Dills family…thank you for asking me to capture some special memories for your family, I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to meet all of you…enjoy the photos and hopefully, this will hold you until they are all ready!
