Baby Wyatt…LOVED | {Puyallup Newborn Photograhy}

Another very handsome little guy gets to make his debut on my blog! Little Wyatt was just 13 days old when I met him…and his parents. He was asleep when he arrived, but soon woke up and it was obvious he didn’t want to miss a thing during the session. He was awake most of the session, and seemed just happy to be observing everything…as long as he was cozy and comfortable.  A lovely evening in August, there isn’t much better than hanging out with a new baby…and of course, his parents! I’m sure blessed to have the opportunity to meet and photograph these new little people. And, better yet, when I get to watch them grow up…oh how I LOVE it!!

Mom and dad are sure beaming with pride and joy as they look upon their new little son. Wyatt was loved before he was even born, but seeing the bond that has developed in such a short time with his parents…truly amazing and such a gift for both he and his parents!Just look at how alert little Wyatt was…he was like this a majority of the session!When he finally gave in and fell asleep…he was OUT…as you can see, so relaxed and cozy!!!I can’t tell you just how many smiles this little guy gave me during the session…more than I’ve ever had from a newborn…such a happy and content baby, he was the best!!LOVE the long eyelashes…the little details are the sweetest!!Baby Wyatt…loved and adored by his mom and dad…and although he’s changing their lives forever, I know they wouldn’t change a thing about it.

Rob and Dianna…I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and Wyatt and look forward to seeing you all again in a few months…to see your little guy grow and change makes my job the BEST!!

Brothers…Matthew & Cameron | {Tacoma Family Photography}

What a fun session I had with these two brothers…both as cute as a button and so very sweet. Matthew and Cameron maybe be brothers, but it was already obvious they will be friends…for life…watching how great Matthew was with Cameron, concerned and caring, was such a heartwarming sight. And, it’s quite evident that Cameron LOVES his big brother and he can’t wait until he’s moving a bit faster to keep up with him. Boys…both are all boy and full of energy, moving constantly and HAPPY!! These little guys were visiting family with their mom…they are from Florida and I loved that I had the chance to meet and photograph them. We met at the UW Tacoma campus as that is where both mom and dad went to school, so it has special memories for the family and to bring the boys there seemed perfect! We started out with a cloudy morning, but by the time we wrapped up the session, the clouds were breaking and the sun was beginning to shine…great timing as it was also getting a bit warmer.

Meet Matthew, he’s three years old and has the CUTEST smile and is so sweet! When we met, he was a bit reserved and wasn’t sure he wanted to smile, but once I pulled out some trucks, the ice was broken and he was my buddy for the session. We did our share of playing…with the trucks, bubbles and the sidewalk chalk! His favorite color is green and he LOVES dinosaurs…he knows a lot about them, I wish we’d had more time so he could tell me more about why he loves them! Maybe next time!!

Cameron, nearly 10 months old, is a very happy little guy! Full of smiles, lots of drooling (you can see his teeth and the new ones on the way!), and loves exploring. Keeping him still was our challenge although between his mom and myself, we found a few things that at least distracted him for a bit. Right from the start, he was happy…all the way through the session (other than during a diaper change as he couldn’t roam around!)…what a delightful little guy who kept his eyes on his brother and wanted to be where and do what he was doing…just watch out, Matthew, once Cameron is walking, you will have a shadow right behind you!!!

Matthew loved running (and jumping)…a fast little guy who just kept on going…oh, the energy of a three year old, if only we could bottle some of that!!!

Oh, the trucks, they were enjoyed by both boys…but then again, what boys don’t want to play with trucks!!

As you can see, Cameron wants to give bubble blowing a try…or maybe sucking the bubbles (uck!) from the wand…he sure had fun trying!!

Oh, Cameron’s eyes…love, love, love…he is going to have the girls following him as he gets older (as is his big brother!!).

Look at that smile…so darn sweet!

Cameron was nearly 10 months old during the session, so his mom had the perfect shirt…jersey…for him to wear…#10, for Jake Locker!!

These photos say it all…they sure love and adore one another…SO darn cute, these brothers!!!!

And, it was time to leave…at least for Cameron!!

I had a blast with these boys and am looking forward to seeing them again in December for some family photos…I can only imagine how much they will grow and change…I do know that I’ll be busy running after both the boys as I’m sure Cameron will be following Matthew by then!!

Sweet Logan is here! | {Puyallup Newborn Photographer}

If you haven’t figured out in the past few months just how much I enjoy babies…then maybe you haven’t see all my posts on BABIES!! And, here is another one…just as sweet and adorable as all of the others…oh, boy (boy, this time!)…do I ever love my job, especially when I get the little ones! This little guy was just a week old the day he came to visit me (with his family in tow!) for his session! Logan Michael Swift arrived on July 24th and was welcome by mom, dad and big sister, Abigail! Of course, you’ve seen Abigail here before, she’s had her own “staring role” here, but this time, little brother gets the headline!! This family is special to myself and my family…we met dad (aka Michael) when he was about 4 years old in Tennessee and have been GREAT friends with his family ever since. We’ve been through such great times in their lives and this is another highlight that has been wonderful to share with them! I had the pleasure of meeting Logan the night he was born and capturing a few photos for them to share with their families…who live in Tennessee.

Little Logan is precious and so sweet to cuddle…and loved EVER so much by his parents and big sister. A new life for this family and such a blessing to them, a beautiful and healthy baby boy has now joined this happy family…to add even more happiness and joy to their lives!

I think I might even see a smile on Logan’s face…he’s obviously quite happy to have joined his parents!OH, how I love when parents cuddle their new babies…there isn’t a sweet sight…it’s so tender and heartwarming!Love this little face…so innocent! A side note…near the end of Logan’s session, he lost his umbilical cord…glad we got some photos with it in!!Bottom to top…literally…the cutest little bum…and SO much hair!!!
Abigail now has to share her mom and dad, but I think she will LOVE sharing with Logan…she’s so excited to be a big sister!!
See what I mean…a ton of hair…oh, how jealous the little girls with hardly any hair will be!!A very special visitor came out to meet Logan…his Nana, who is a dear friend of mine and I couldn’t let her leave without a few photos of her with her grandbabies!!I wonder what he’s thinking…..Little toes…I’m a sucker for the “little bits” of babies!!!One of my favorites…such a tender moment.Welcome Logan…I look forward to capturing some more memories as you grow!

Congratulations Michael and Allison on your very handsome little boy, he’s a cute as can be and I am so happy for all of you! Enjoy and cherish each and every moment…for they grow up far to quickly!!
