Ayrianna turns 9 | {Puyallup Family Photographer}

Kudos to this delightful young lady as when we had her session it was one of those blasting 90 degree days here in the Puget Sound and she didn’t complain a single time! Ayrianna is not only a beautiful girl, but so very sweet, kind and caring and during her session, she was very relaxed and natural…it was just easy and fun to photograph her! As her mom calls this birthday…her “golden” birthday since it’s her last year of being in the single digits…it was touching to watch just how emotional her mom was watching her baby, who is turning into a lovely young lady…growing up before her very eyes! As any parent knows…watching your children grow up is a delight, but also a bit sad when you know that the little child who was so dependent and looked to you for everything is becoming more independent and doesn’t always need you. This family is a blast to hang out with…I’ve known them for a few years…and had the pleasure of photographing Aaron and Elizabeth’s wedding a couple years ago (such fun!!!) and they have gone from clients to friends, which is a true blessing with my job! So…as you will see, Ayrianna has a beautiful smile and eyes that sparkle and even more than that…she’s a strong and confident girl who I know will achieve whatever she puts her mind to in life!!

Violet & Lincoln | {Puyallup Children’s Photography}

Goodness me, I was so lucky to get to see this family regularly for two years…starting out with Lincoln’s newborn photos and through the Babe’s First Year and following him to his first birthday. Then, the fun continued as he was joined by little sister, Violet and that meant another year of this awesome family. These adorable kids are so sweet and blessed to have their parents, Shawna and Phillip…they are loved and adored by them and you can see they are such happy kids, surrounded by wonderful parents to guide them! The highlight of this session was Violet’s first birthday (we were a little late between my recovery from surgery and the kids both getting colds)…and of course, it wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t include the rest of the family! Even Lincoln got a cupcake in celebration of his 2nd birthday. Violet is a beautiful and very sweet little one, who is busy and on the move, but then again, she has her big brother to keep up with, so I wasn’t a bit surprised!! Lincoln was a little quieter, but his smile just beams and I could see he was just taking in everything and checking it all out. He’s a loving big brother and is very kind and gentle towards Violet! Oh, how I’ve loved getting to know this family over the past two years…they are so kind, considerate and thoughtful and watching them grow from a family of two to four has been heartwarming!!

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!!
