Elliana – 6 mos. | {Puyallup Baby Photography)

This beautiful little girl is now 6 months old and has the best smiles! It’s really hard to meet these sweet babies as newborns and then have to wait for 6 months to see them again, but it’s always worth the wait! Elliana was a little shy, but it didn’t take long before she was giving me all sorts of precious smiles and batting those baby blue eyes and winning me over! And, lucky me, she brought her parents and big brother, Jackson with her…what fun to get to hang out with this family again and hear how they are adjusting and growing as a family of four! Both Elliana and Jackson and happy and healthy little ones and it’s obvious they are showered with love from their parents! Jackson, who turned two in November wasn’t so sure about the camera, but I managed to get a few smiles out of him…but let me tell you, he’s a handsome little guy and the outfit he was wearing was adorable!!! It’s going to be another long 6 months before I get to see this great family again…and I can’t wait…I know they will be just as fun when it’s time to celebrate Elliana’s first birthday!!

Lil’ Sis Elliana | {Puyallup Newborn Photographer}

It’s been such a joy to meet and photography so many newborns this year…I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these precious new little ones, who have literally – their whole life ahead of them. In meeting their parents and hearing the wonderful stories of love and incredible delight as they talk about their newest addition to their lives. Sweet Elliana is a beauty, but she wasn’t so little when she arrived and was a little bit of a surprise to her parents that she was so big, but it didn’t change a single thing about how delighted they were when she arrived, joining their family which includes big brother, Jackson, who is not quite two. Jackson is a cutie and has the greatest smile, but was quite evasive when it came to staying still…he much preferred playing with the toys in the hallway or running outside with daddy…some day he will love having a little sister to play with, but for now, he wasn’t too interested in her! I chuckle as the age difference between these two is just what the age difference is between our kids (now parents themselves!!)…and it was just the same, our son really didn’t seem very excited about his new little sister, but as she got older, they were each others best playmates…I’m sure someday Jackson and Elliana will become best of friends!! Jennifer and Frank were a pleasure to meet and so relaxed and at ease with their two beautiful children! I’m so lucky to be able to meet such amazing people and especially at a time when they are filled with amazing love (and maybe a little exhaustion!!)…welcoming a new little one to a family is truly one of the most exciting times of ones lives!!

Harper…PRECIOUS | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

It’s about time that I’m getting this blog posted…and it’s been killing me that I haven’t had the time lately to get it ready and posted because it’s a very special one for me…it’s of our newest little granddaughter, Harper, who arrived at the end of July! This makes three precious and beautiful granddaughters for my husband and I and we couldn’t be happier!! Little Harper was almost a week late and her parents were quite anxious for her arrival…as was the rest of the family. When it came time for her to arrive, did she ever come in with a BANG!! Labor was extremely fast and she arrived about 40 minutes after they made it to the hospital and she nearly was born in the ER (which the ER nurses were really hoping for!!)…but thankfully, the midwife made the decision to take our daughter, Jess, up to the maternity floor and they made it…barely! We welcomed this healthy and beautiful little girl at 12:01 am – which means she shares the same date (not month) with her big sister, Emma, who was also born on the 29th (of her March). That will make it easy to remember!! Harper came home about 21 hours after she was born and was welcomed by Emma and her (four-legged) brothers!! This wonderful family is settling in and mom and dad, aka…Jess and Sean…are adjusting to life with a baby and toddler…and doing quite well, though learning that it’s a bit more work keeping up with two girls! I can’t wait to see what life will be like for them in a year or two…they will be busy, but I know they love these girls more than they ever imagined they could and are very thankful for their daughters! A little warning on this blog…it’s long, as I couldn’t narrow it down anymore…so settle in and relax while you enjoy some photos of sweet little Harper Rae!
