Abbie’s Expecting | {Puyallup Maternity Photographer}

What a neat couple I had the pleasure of meeting last month…Abbie and Chris are expecting their first child, a girl at the end of April! They are both excited and anxious to meet the new addition to their family…and after spending some time with them, I know this little girl is in for a treat…she’s going to have some GREAT parents!! Abbie’s session and a Babe’s First Year session were a shower gift and I’m so excited to get to know them better and even more excited to meet their little girl once she arrives! A beautiful and glowing mother to be, who looks fabulous, with a husband who adores her…I loved watching the connection between these two and capturing some special photos to share with their families and daughter once she enters the world!

ROSE…family…special | {Puyallup Family Photography}

DOUBLE the pleasure with this session…not only was Mary turning 5, but mom, Melinda, is set to deliver a new addition this summer and it was a perfect opportunity to capture some special photo of  baby Jonathan before he arrives! This new little addition is a long time in the making, and OH, so very loved already and I know he will complete this beautiful family! When Melinda contacted me about the session, I was beyond thrilled to hear that they were adding to their family as I knew they had been trying for a while. Mom was just glowing and looks SO very beautiful…what a delight for me to be able to capture and help them document this special time of their lives. And big sister, Mary, is really looking forward to Jonathan’s arrival…she’s planning to do everything for her little brother…which should give mom a chance to get some rest after he arrives!  I love the enthusiasm that she has and the pure joy of welcoming a new sibling to their family that Mary has! And, not let’s forget dad, Dave…who will finally have another male in the household to balance it all out! Oh, I can’t wait to capture the next family photos…after they’ve grown by two feet!

Isn’t mom GORGEOUS!!!

A quick shot of Mary in the studio before we headed to the park…what a doll!!!

Their own special garden…just for them…hehehe!Mary was SO much fun to photograph and she lead the way for the session…choosing where we would shoot and setting up the poses!! I love that she had her own vision for this!This beautiful blond streak is totally natural and it just adds to her beauty and unique personality…she is a lovely little girl!
The “apple” of her parent’s eyes…she is so excited to share that with her little brother when he arrives!She sure loves her daddy…and as you can see, he completely adores her…how can you not!!Mary and Melinda…two beautiful people…daughter and mom and both such delightful people!!!!The Rose Family…can’t wait to capture the next family photo when it’s just a little bit bigger!

Dave and Melinda…it was such a fun session with all of you and I’m VERY excited about Jon’s arrival this summer…I can only imagine how adorable he will be…with such beautiful parents and the cutest big sister!!

Alicia…beautiful!! | {Tacoma Maternity Photography}

This BEAUTIFUL momma to be was such a delight to photograph and get to know during her session. Her first…a son, Kennedy Allen, is due at the end of this month, so she’s busy preparing for his arrival all at the same time when it’s normal for a pregnant woman to start slowing down a bit. Alicia said she was beginning to slow down, but there were no signs of that during the time we spent together. Daddy to be, Marcus, was awesome…he was very natural and comfortable in front of the camera…unlike most dads…or dads to be…and the two of them are such a wonderful couple and so fun to be around! It’s people like this that make my job such fun and so easy…they were so natural and relaxed…I can hardly wait until their son arrives…to see the three of them together! The plans had been for some photos at a local park, unfortunately, the weather didn’t quite cooperate, but it didn’t hold us back and they were easy going and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome of their session. Oh, how excited I am to meet Kennedy when they come in for the newborn session…I can only imagine how much more these two will be glowing with their family complete!!

Isn’t Alicia just STUNNING!! Such a beautiful woman and even more beautiful while expecting…It’s obvious the love these two have for one another and just how much they already love their son…OH, how I love seeing expecting parents excitement for their child’s arrival!Talk about a GORGEOUS couple…these two could be models…I suggested they could model on the side for college money for Kennedy!!

I LOVE “baby bumps” and Alicia looks SO good…it’s just not fair!!Alicia and Marcus…I wish you the very best with labor and delivery and will be anxiously awaiting news of Kennedy’s arrival…and look forward to capturing some more special memories for your family!!
