Sweet Baby Harper | {Puyallup Newborn Photographer}

Oh, another little baby girl…another sweet, precious and adorable girl! Harper was just 12 days old when I had the pleasure of meeting her and what a treat it was! Big sister, Ainsley, as well as mom came along for Harper’s session and it was such fun to see how Ainsley adores and loves Harper! It’s obvious there is a lifelong bond, and a forever love that these two will have for one another…that is a beautiful thing to see! Little Harper wasn’t so sure about sleeping when we started out, but as you will see, she finally decided it was far too much work to stay awake, so ended up sleeping the second half of the session. Of course, I couldn’t resist grabbing a few photos of big sis by herself while mom was feeding Harper…I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Ainsley since she was six months old and she’s a kind and fun little girl, not to mention pretty darn cute!! I know that this fall, it will be hard for mom to watch Ainsley head off to kindergarten, but I’m guessing she will be busy with Harper and that will help with the emotions of watching your oldest start school. This little beauty, her sister and mom were great and I always look forward to seeing them (and dad when he can make it!) for their sessions….what a great family who has been blessed by “two feet” that have joined their family!

Lincoln is ONE & a BIG Brother | {Puyallup Children’s Photography}

A highlight of each year are the little ones that I am blessed to be able to photograph during the BABE’S FIRST YEAR plan that I have! It’s a joy to watch parents welcome a child to their lives and see them all grow into a beautiful family! This little guy, Lincoln, is very sweet and a gentle little boy who not only is lucky enough to have some incredibly loving parents, but as he was turning one, a new little one was about to join their family! Violet was welcomed  into this family shortly after Lincoln turned ONE…so we combined the session for Lincoln’s first birthday with Violet’s newborn photos…and this adorable little girl was just 4 days old…and what a doll! Dad and mom, Phillip and Shawna…are relaxed, loving and incredibly thankful parents..loving their beautiful children more than you can imagine and thankful for their good health!! I’ve said this before, but I love meeting new people, capturing some special photos and memories for them and most of all, making new friends through the process…how lucky am I!! Without further ado…here is Lincoln, Violet and their parents!!

My heart is warmed by seeing this family grow and what a joy to see how sweet and loving Lincoln is with Violet…I am sure they will be wonderful friends and I have no doubt that Violet will hold her own with her big brother as time goes on! I can’t wait to watch them over this next year and see these little ones as they begin to see just how amazing it is to have a sibling…that loves you unconditionally! Phillip and Shawna, you have such beautiful children – they are so lucky to have you two for parents! Thank you for trusting me with capturing such special memories in your lives!!

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!
