Lucky Lincoln | {Tacoma Children’s Photography}

It’s finally Lincoln’s turn to star on the blog…and although he had to wait a bit, hopefully, it was worth it! This cutie with beautiful eyes turned 6 months old and with being in my “Babe’s First Year” plan, this is his second time up here! As with his cousin, Wyatt, who was up just before him…I’m so lucky to be able to follow him for his first year and watch him grow and change…what a joy! This little guy has the sweetest disposition and although he’s not quite moving around yet, I can tell it won’t be long before he’s exploring and learning all about what has been just out of his reach so far! Lincoln is very observant and will probably be soaking up all that he can learn in his early years! His eyes  will grab you, but I’m guessing his heart will win you over…I can’t wait to see him for his one year session early next year! On this day, he shared the time with Wyatt and the two of them are together are great together…being cousins so close in age, they will have such great memories to share as they grow up together! Mom and Dad, Shawna and Phillip, are very in love with this little guy and it’s fun to watch them all together! Okay…it’s time…check out this cutie!!!!

So great to see you all again, and I can’t wait until Lincoln’s one year session…and to hear the news of your newest little one’s arrival!!  🙂

Wyatt turns ONE | {Tacoma Children’s Photographer}

It was a real treat to see this family again…it had been six months since I last saw them and OH…how I love seeing how the little ones have grown and changed during that time! Wyatt has starred here two times already -as a newborn and then again at six months of age. One of my “Babe’s First Year” baby’s…these little ones become so special to me and not only am I honored to be asked to capture some special memories for the family of their little one…I fall in love with each and every one of the babies…it has to be one of the BEST jobs ever!! On this day, a few days before Wyatt actually turned one…we met up with more than just his parents, Rob and Dianna…Rob’s older son, Dakota, came along as well to join in a few of the photos (love the one of Rob with his “boys!”)…and his aunt and uncle and baby cousin also came along…so we blended them together for some of the photos as well as capturing their own photos. I can hardly believe Wyatt is already one…as I go back through is past sessions…he’s grown so much and has just gotten cuter…okay, I guess I should say “more handsome” to be correct! His sweet little personality is a delight to observe and seeing how he adores his parents and just how tender he was with his cousin, Lincoln, who is 6 months old (coming up in the next blog)…what a treasure it is to see how happy he is and what a joy he is to his parents…I’ve so enjoyed following this little guy during his first year…  So without further delay…here’s WYATT (and his family!)…

Wyatt, I wish you a lifetime of love and joy and Rob and Dianna…you are so blessed with such a wonderful little guy…enjoy and cherish each and every day! Thank you for trusting me this past year to capture some “memories” for you as well as Wyatt!!

AVA turns ONE | {Bremerton Children’s Photography}

MY OH MY…how I love watching my “babies” grow during their first year. And, this little one is the second in her family that I’ve been photographing since she was born…what a darling she is, as is her sister! Beautiful Ava turned one at the end of June and it was a little later than her birthday when we had her one year session scheduled. It was a delight to see how she’d grown as well as to see her big sister, Brylee, and their parents…this family has become friends over the years and I SO enjoy seeing them and catching up on what they’ve been up to! Ava wasn’t quite walking, but I would imagine she probably is by now…and her personality was TOO cute…I loved watching her, especially with her big sister! The dynamics between siblings is always interesting and I can see that Ava is certainly not going to be left behind and will whatever it takes to keep up with Brylee…she’s a determined and bright baby who knows just what she wants…I LOVE that about babies!!!

Brylee couldn’t wait to show me her new swing/playset in the back yard and boy, does she love it…and is not at all afraid of the slide…as you can see!!And she loves swinging as well and wanted to show me how well she swings and pumps her legs.Look at this BEAUTIFUL one year old…such pretty eyes and a smile that most certainly shines…
LOVED watching them with their little tea set…of course, Ava seemed to enjoy the “drop the cup” game more than “sipping” her tea…it was so cute!I”m sure that Ava is trying to tell me…ENOUGH, no more photos! Or maybe she’s reaching for the blue feather duster…LOL

Cupcake smash…she was a bit unsure to start off, but then seemed to enjoy creating a mess and showing us just all that she had done…one of my favorite parts of a one year session!


A little time “daddy time” which as you can see is priceless…melts my heart when I see photos like this…so sweet!

We didn’t want Brylee to feel left out, and since she’s 3 1/2, it was a great chance to capture some special photos of just her!!

LOVE this one on the right…the expression just cracks me up!!!

Oh, the giggles are about the BEST part of babies…and this little cutie was really flirting with my hubby…it was so stinking cute!!

LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE

I am in love with these photos…this family is so delightful, sweet and kind…and capturing some special memories for their family makes me realize this is JUST why I do what I do…I love capturing “life” for a family to cherish and share for a lifetime! Rick and Jessica…your girls are the sweetest, you know how much I love them and photographing them! Thank you for opening your home to us for each session…I can’t wait until the next time…Is it January yet?!!
