You probably recognize these two cute faces…they’ve been here before, actually 6 months ago to be exact, when Max was born! He’s now 6 months old and look at how adorable he is! You just want to hug and squeeze this little (not so little!) guy…it was so great to see him again! And, of course, beautiful Maddy, who has been here several times, just as sweet as always. Later this month, Maddy will turn 4…and between her parents schedule and mine, this was the best timing for getting the photos in for the two darlings! We started out by meeting at Scholz Pumpkin Patch in Orting, unfortunately, just as they arrived, so did the rain…and the clouds were dark and threatening and we knew it wasn’t going to blow over soon. Drats…but thankfully, we had a back up plan of my studio, so we loaded up and headed there, where it was dry and warm! I’m so thankful we were able to get this session in and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them this afternoon….besides Maddy and Max, their parents, Ed and Kerry are wonderful and kind people as well and it’s fun to watch them with their children…such a great family unit!!!
Maddy has the prettiest hair and her eyes are full of sparkle and life…she’s your typical four year old, with curiosity, a desire for independence and lots of energy…and so very sweet!
Isn’t Max just ADORABLE…he has those cheeks that you just want to squeeze and kiss…and he’s such a happy baby with LOTS of smiles to share…he was a great little model and very patient…until he decided it was time to eat!!
Ed and Kerry are wonderful and patient parents…Max and Maddy are so blessed to have them as parents!
As you an see, we “attempted” shooting outside, but the rain wasn’t going to give up…so after just a couple of quick shots, we had to give in and head to the studio!! Oh well, it all worked out just fine in the end and if we’d been outside, we wouldn’t have been able to get such cute photos of him with his tie (which is VERY talented mom made….and sells!).
Maddy did get to pick out a couple of pumpkins before we left the pumpkin patch and so she brought them along to the studio, for a bit of “fall” for the photos!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these….isn’t Max the cutest!
Such a GREAT family…I love watching them together and seeing how happy the kids are….a sure sign of a very settled and stable home…and these kids sure show that in the photos! Thank you, Ed and Kerry, for allowing me the pleasure of capturing some more special memories for your family!
Sometimes you wonder why things happen the way they do and other times you know why they happen. Earlier this year I was told that this girl, Jordan, was looking for someone to do her senior photos and I mentioned that she could possibly be a rep for me at her high school (Puyallup HS). A month or two went by before I heard anything from her and when I finally did, we were able to arrange a session fairly quickly. We had it set for Saturday afternoon, but Saturday morning rolled around and it was raining and the forecast wasn’t looking great, and we both had the next afternoon available, so set a time on Sunday and as it turned out, that was just about perfect…the weather, the light and Jordan! I had not met her before, nor her mom, but it quickly felt like we’d known one another for a while and after a few shots, Jordan relaxed and the fun began. As you can see, she’s beautiful, but in getting to know her this afternoon, I quickly learned that she is just as beautiful on the inside. She’s so down to earth, not afraid of trying something new, but also not afraid to speak up with her ideas or suggestions and funny…very funny! We covered quite a bit of ground during this afternoon and after worrying what weather we’d have that day and not knowing what she would be like, I can tell you, it was a GREAT session, relaxed, fun and inspiring! Jordan is excited for her senior year and looking forward to the future….dreams of cosmetology school, quite possibly in California! When I asked if she planned to return to Washington (especially the grey weather we have time time of year!)…she said “maybe” we’ll see! Why wouldn’t a young, eager and enthusiastic woman go in search of her dreams and some beautiful weather….I think it’s wonderful she has goals and dreams because without those, how would one know where to go in life! So, this lovely young woman now has her turn on my blog and I’m excited to share some of what we captured during her session! Back to the first thought…I don’t know why Jordan asked to have me do her senior photos, but I’m happy to have met her and had the opportunity to capture some memories for her and her mom…and I know why we changed the session from Saturday to Sunday…because it was MUCH better weather on Sunday than it would have been on Saturday…and we had the opportunity to see some fun things during the session.
