Ainsley…4 Years Old | {Tacoma Children’s Photography}

It doesn’t seem possible that Ainsley is already FOUR years old! She was just 6 months old when I first met her and it’s been great to watch her grow and change the past couple of years! She is not only a beautiful little girl, but very bright and a TON of fun! She tried to play “shy” when we first met up on a cloudy Sunday morning, but that didn’t last for long…before long, we were running, climbing stairs and playing games! That is one of the best parts of my job…I get to play a lot…be silly, make faces, and encourage my “kids” to do the same!! I loved that Ainsley’s mom wanted Ainsley being herself…so the funny faces and the great expressions were part of who she is…and I think she figured me out pretty quick, as she had me working out, while we played/shot….and she managed to get quite a few piggy back rides from me on some of the stairs we climbed! As I said, a smart little girl! Despite the cool weather, we managed to stay warm by moving a lot and really, this is what a child at this age is doing anyway…moving and learning and exploring…which is what I love to watch…and capture!! So…here is Ainsley…….Isn’t that smile AWESOME!!!And SUCH pretty eyes…with lots of sparkle and a definite glitter for life!!Now, I believe her mom knows this look well…and I LOVED it…how could you ever get mad at this face!!She loved all the colors of the glass…it was great to “see” something new through her eyes!!Ahh, the reward…a cherry sucker and it was well deserved, Ainsley was great and SO much fun!!

Meghan, great to see you and Ainsley again…and to meet your mom…enjoy the photos and know that there are some more to come!!

Wyatt…6 Months Old | {Puyallup Baby Photography}

Wow, it’s hard to believe that it’s already been six months since I first met little Wyatt and his parents, Dianna and Rob, late last summer! Now, Wyatt is 6 months old and is so stinkin’ cute…and such a sweet little guy, I can only imagine how much his parents have enjoyed watching they beautiful son grow and become a little person since his arrival! I’ve said this before and will continue to…I love my job, and meeting such wonderful people and the fact that I get to play with the little ones, is the BEST…and I can only imagine how much fun Wyatt’s one year session and cake smash will be…this little one has personality just popping out everywhere! I had the pleasure of seeing Wyatt a few days before his session when he came with his new little cousin, Lincoln, for his newborn session. It’s wonderful that these little guys are so close in age and how much fun they will have as they get older…they are both such blessed babies and both have great parents!!

What a neat family…I am really enjoying getting to know all of them!!

SUPER cute dinosaur hat…Wyatt was totally rocking it!!



This little guy is definitely the sparkle in his mom’s eyes…I love seeing this!!!

As well as his dad’s special little guy…how lucky is Wyatt!!


A favorite toy is always a plus during a session…since it’s all about play, anyway!

 

His outfit was great…right down to the feet…LOVE these little shoes!!



Check out Wyatt’s eyelashes…O.M.G. they are the longest and he has the most beautiful eyes…heart breaker, already!!





Maybe a little bashful?!!??





I love the little chubby arms and hands…this little one is just perfect!



We are getting a bit tired…



And, he was done…ready for a nap!

Wyatt was a delight and I so enjoyed talking with his mom and dad again…and hearing all about the first 6 months of Wyatt’s life. It’s a joy to follow babies during their first year when they are a part of my Babe’s First Year plan…and it warms my heart each session to see how happy, beautiful and healthy these little ones are – and how lucky each one is to have such loving and caring parents!

Dianna and Rob…so great to see you again and I can’t wait until Wyatt’s next session!!

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!!!
