Baby Lincoln | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

There’s nothing more exciting than a new little addition to a family…and this little one, Lincoln, was welcomed by his parents, Phillip and Shawna, and is truly a blessing to them as well as their families! He arrived about a week early and is just perfect…10 little fingers and 10 little toes…the cutest nose and the sweetest, soft little cry. The day I met Lincoln and his parents, he was just 12 days old and was sound asleep upon arrival. I so love the little ones…I get to cuddle, snuggle and smell these sweet, precious babies and each and every one is a delight and I so love watching “mom and dad” with their new baby…it’s always an amazing sight…one that I will never tire of seeing! Such a precious gift and such love beaming from the parents…and these new parents are truly in love with their new son!

Oh, how I LOVE a mother with her new baby…melts my heart and brings tears to my eyes every time!Safe and protected, in his daddy’s arms…little Lincoln is content and peaceful!A beautiful new family is created!

From the tippy top to the tippy “toes!”

Hmmm, if only we knew what he was thinking!!

Is this not the SWEETEST little face, ever!!

Oh, how I live the “little bits” of babies!

Peaceful and innocent…

You can just feel the love these parents have for their new son!Lincoln brought along his “big” cousin, Wyatt, and we couldn’t resist a couple of photos of the two of them. Aren’t they adorable in these owl hats?!!!

And, these super cute ties and diaper covers were made by Wyatt’s mom…what talent and perfect for Valentine’s!

It was great to see Wyatt, I hadn’t seen him since his newborn photos and he will be next up on the blog as he came in later that same week!

Sleep tight, sweet Lincoln!

Phillip and Shawna…your new son is beautiful and I was thrilled to meet all of you and capture some memories for your family…I look forward to seeing him grown during his first year and capturing some more memories for all of you! Congratulations!!!

Baby Kennedy | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

This beautiful new baby was 10 days old when I had the pleasure of meeting him. Kennedy Allen Curtis is a handsome little guy and in a short time has totally wrapped his parents around his little fingers. Earlier this fall, I had the pleasure of meeting his parents, Alicia and Marcus, when I did their maternity photos. Such a great couple and SO very excited for their son to arrive…I quickly could see that they now felt complete with Kennedy in their arms. Now, if you saw the maternity photos, you know what great looking parents Kennedy has…and this little guy is taking after his parents…such a beautiful family and capturing some of their first family photos was an honor for me. These will hopefully be a wonderful memory of when their son joined their family! This little guy wasn’t so sure about sleeping and definitely let us know what he liked and didn’t like…and he LOVES snuggling with his mom or dad…the most precious sight…a new parent holding tight to their new baby…you can just feel the love!Aren’t they all gorgeous…I loved watching these parents with their new son!

And this outfit was perfect since Kennedy arrive a month before Christmas and is the great gift to his parents and the rest of the family…he’s such a perfect baby…a little angel!
Be still my heart…..

OH, how I love little feet and with his momma’s ring on his tiny toe…I couldn’t resist!

Daddy and son…ahhh, I love this!

TOO darn cute…love his sweet mouth!

Congratulations Alicia and Marcus on your beautiful new son…Kennedy is adorable and I loved sharing a bit of your time with him and capturing some memories for all of you! My best to you for a wonderful holiday season with your newly expanded family!

Alert…Baby Hailey | {Puyallup Newborn Photography}

When this beautiful little baby arrived, she was soundly sleeping in her car seat and after chatting with her parents a bit, we headed to the studio. They got her out of the car seat and she woke up – what a sweet little one and her outfit…was ADORABLE!! We started right in with photos with her and her parents and awake was perfect for these!! Mom, Shari and dad, Jason are both elementary school teachers and it was obvious that they both totally ADORE this new little daughter…oh, how I love seeing first time parents with their babies…it is one of the best things in the world, so heartwarming!! Little Hailey was great during the photos with her parents and we even managed to capture a few smiles…in between the little cat naps during this part of the session. After that, Hailey nursed and then we were ready for her to be the “star” of the photo and figured she would sleep after her feeding. It’s funny, how babies have minds of their own…they don’t always go along with the plans we have for them…and on this evening…Hailey was in charge!! It’s funny, at two weeks old, she was awake for nearly all of the session, sleeping maybe 20 minutes towards the end…and she was happy and very observant of all that was going on. One thing we learned quickly…she did not really care for hats…we snuck a few on her while she was asleep, but other than one other time…she made it clear she didn’t want a hat on her head. I can tell this little beauty is going keep her parents on their toes and as active as she was…once she starts moving, watch out, there won’t be many restful times when she’s awake! It was great to visit with and get to know Shari and Jason and I loved hearing the stories of teaching…I admire both of them…our schools need lots of great teachers like them…so I applaud them for such a noble career and congratulate them on their beautiful new daughter!!

I couldn’t resist sharing this first photo with you…I’m sure that this is just the beginning of fun and games with dad and Hailey!!As I said, ALERT…she was very awake and observing what was going on…as you can see, by her beautiful, sparkly eyes!!

LOVE…the little bits!!!This blanket and matching baby giraffe were SO soft…oh, how I’d love a blanket to cuddle up like this one!!

Such a beautiful bond…mother and child…there’s nothing sweeter!!OH…so much hair…how lucky is she…seems like usually the boys get all the hair when they are born!! Can you see the “swirl”  of hair on the right side of her forehead …good thing she’s a girl…and can manage that callac!!

This face…isn’t it the cutest and her expression…oh, what a charmer!!She did like sleeping, all snuggled up in the baskets!!Hailey is probably thinking…”why in the world did they put this hat on me…it’s already warm enough in here!”
So, Hailey is a quick learner…sticking her tongue out after her daddy showed her how!!

Super cute hat…it was a gift and I’m so glad they brought it with them! They’ll have to work on her wearing hats when she’s awake…as this is too cute not to be worn a lot!!

Beautiful and glowing new mom…how lucky is Hailey!!!Maybe a tad tired….not really, it was just a teaser!!!

Shari and Jason…how wonderful to capture some special memories of your beautiful daughter for you…I’m excited for you to see the rest of them…enjoy every precious moment and cherish each and every day!!
