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!!

Welcome Jonathan | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

It was such a delight to be able to meet the Roses’ family newest member who joined them early this month…Jonathan! This little, well, not really so little, he was well over 9 lbs – was wanted more than you can imagine and they waited a long time for him and I’m SO very happy for them…it’s a huge blessing and a joy that I know they count daily!! Jonathan joined his big sister, Mary, and she is over the top about being a big sister and Mom, Melinda, says that she’s a great helper and perfect big sister!! I loved how excited Mary was to introduce me to her new brother and show me everything I needed to know for his session on this beautiful summer afternoon.

While Jonathan was awake for part of the session, he also slept at the end, guess we wore him out. He was a great little model and just went along with whatever we did…such a sweetheart!

You can see the pride that Mary has over being a big sister…she loves him so very much!

I so LOVE the “little bits” of newborns…it’s always hard to remember how little they are when they are even just a year old…so capturing these pieces is a great memory and treasure!

Dad (Dave) and Mom are more in love with the son than they could have even imagined…my heart was filled with excitement for them!!

Look at that sweet face…oh my, SO cute!TRUE love…♥

During a feeding break for Jonathan, Mary wanted to help me and take some photos…so we took pictures of each other…I think she has a future…she was very interested in seeing what she shot and trying again to get it right. I love when children are interested in learning and trying new things…she’s such a bright girl!

Modeling is hard work, even for a baby!

Momma and her kiddos…one of the best things in life! ♥

These parents are filled with love for their son and so happy he’s finally here…I know this little guy has the very best parents he could ever have!!

Thank you, Rose Family, introducing me to your new little one…I am so very happy for all of you can can’t wait to watch your kiddos grow up! And, good luck next week with watching Mary head off to school…she’s starting kindergarten and so besides adding a new family member, seeing your first child start school, another huge milestone…so very exciting! ♥

All in the FAMILY | {Tacoma Family Photographer}

Families…full of love, joy, sharing and lots of laughter! Well, let me introduce you to this family…of families! The two littlest one are cousins…Wyatt just turned ONE this month and his younger cousin, Lincoln, is 6 months old! Oh, the joys of cousins, being close in age and able to grow up together! It’s one of those amazing things about childhood that carries over to later in life and besides being related, they often end up being close friends! Now, this family is a little more unique than most where they have little ones around the same time. Mom’s of these little guys, Dianna and Shawna, are sisters and twins…and to have children – boys so close together, what a special bond they share as well as their sons! To add to this unique family, the dads, Rob and Phillip, are also related…they are brothers!! I don’t know how much closer you can connect families…such a joy for both families – sharing so much – and so many joyous occasions for both families! I met Wyatt and his parents a year ago shortly after he was born and then when he was six months old, I had the delight of meeting his new cousin, Lincoln, and the pleasure of capturing his newborn photos. Both of these little guys are part of my “Babe’s First Year” and it’s been so much fun to see them so often with the connection!! On this day, not only did we photograph both families together, we also captured Wyatt’s one year photos and Lincoln’s six month photos…watch for those blogs coming up later this week!!

I LOVE this photo…what a wonderful time for sisters/moms/aunts to share the joy of their little ones!!

These cuties were so much fun and I’m excited to share photos with you from each of their sessions…they both stole my heart and I loved watching them together!!
