Cute n’ Cuddly Cooper | Puyallup Newborn Photography

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there isn’t much better than meeting a precious new baby, welcomed into a family…a new little one with the promise of endless possibilities ahead in their life! Sweet Cooper was a little over 2 weeks old, jaundice delayed his session a bit, but when I met him, he looked great and was a perfect little model during his session! I can’t believe he slept nearly the entire time and even gave me a few smiles along the way…what a doll! He brought along his mom and grandma…and watching them with him was truly heartwarming as I could see they had both fallen totally in love with this little guy, but how can you not!

Beautiful Kara | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

A new baby welcomed into a family is one of the most heartwarming things that can happen to a couple and a family and this little beauty is SO very loved, as you will see in these photos. Abbie and Chris visited me earlier this spring for their maternity photos and I enjoyed talking with them about becoming parents. It’s normal to be excited as well as a bit nervous – these two had been planning and were ready for little Kara’s arrival (except for deciding on her name until she was born!)…although I don’t think they fully understood just how much they would fall in love with her and how quickly she became their everything! It’s incredible to watch a new parent with their child…and to hear just how much they love their new little one and and all the stories of the first few days…I will never get tired of hearing and seeing that! Sweet little Kara has a full head of dark hair and was just a pure delight during her session. A confession…I love the stolen little hugs and sniffs of “new baby” that I get during newborn sessions…it’s the BEST! Abbie and Chris are going to be amazing parents…they are totally committed to this sweet baby and I’m sure will only fall in love with her more and more each day!

Sweet Baby Ryder | {Puyallup Newborn Photographer}

What a joy it was to see this little bundle of joy with his parents, who I’d met earlier this spring when I took their maternity photos. Ryder surprised his parents with arriving early, 10 days, so not too bad, but a surprise, nonetheless! Mom, aka Magi, was happy and ready…and when little Ryder arrived, they were delighted beyond belief…and have now been adjusting to a new life, with a little one and a life (for a while at least!) with less sleep! First time parents, Magi and Thomas are totally in love with their new son in awe of everything he does…as with any new parent, just watching your new baby and seeing what they do, or the facial expressions, the stretches and oh, so much more…it’s a wondrous thing that they are embracing!!  One part of my job that I love (of OH, so many parts!!), is when I have newborns, getting to hold, cuddle, and adore these beautiful little ones and on the day I met Ryder, I had two babies (both boys) and that just made my day extra special! Ryder fooled me to start, he was very relaxed and mellow and I figured he would fall asleep quickly…but, he had other things in mind…while not fussy, he was just awake and I just laughed since I had made the statement that he’d be asleep in no time…haha, guess I won’t say that again! When he did get to sleep…he was out and was a perfect little model! Here is this adorable and precious little one…enjoy!!

This amazing quilt was made for Ryder by one of Magi’s friends…such incredible talent and it’s perfect…love that it matches his coming home outfit with the pirates!!

And, I couldn’t resist sharing this photo again…it was a “sneak peek” right after the session…it was just too funny to not put in this blog. I’m not sure if Ryder doesn’t want his photo taken or if he’s not wanting to see his parents kissing…or maybe both…whatever it is, I absolutely love it…so funny!!

And, one more that I want to share…a “before and after” with Ryder’s adorable little outfit!!
