Julissa is a happy girl. Julissa is a big girl. Julissa is a birthday girl. She is a whole lot of things. But one thing she is undoubtedly is a super model! I have never, ever, ever had a little girl rock her birthday portrait session like Julissa did. I am thanking my lucky stars that her parents hired me to be their daughter’s Lakewood baby photographer. She is perfection! I swear these images could be part of an advertising campaign and it has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with this little ladies ginormous eyes, smile and PERSONALITY! She loved my scale. It was bouncy, and that just made her day. All of the images with this prop are my favorite from her cake smash birthday session. And so I thought it was a must to use them all in her sneak peek so that you all could see the timeline of portrait perfection that she blessed me with.
Her parents will win hands down any cutest baby contest they ever enter with these stunning images of their baby girl. This whole session came together so perfectly. Julissa’s mommy knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted rustic and she knew which props she wanted to use for the most part. Every outfit was matched perfectly with her favorite sets. And then on top of it all she brings me her perfectly portrait happy daughter. This whole portrait session was elementary! Perfect planning and perfect personality are a match made in Heaven!
This session! Gah! I just don’t have enough adjectives to describe how perfect it is. I am SO glad this wonderful family chose me to be their Olympia newborn photographer! I don’t often have clients drive north to see me, lol. They are always driving south from Seattle. What a blessing to work with such a lovely family. Mom had send me a few emails with screen shots that she loved so that I would know how to style her session. I feel like I met those expectations, especially considering little Presley was pretty alert during her session. In spite of keeping her mommy up all night she was awake for such of her session and very interested in learning all about being an Olympia newborn photographer. She didn’t realize that she was the start of the show, lol! I really appreciated that this client for the most part sent me screen shots of my own work. Sometimes clients send a list of images taken by other photographers. It is nice when it is your own work clients want. Also sometimes it is very difficult to replicate the work of another photographer. And it is definitely a creativity killer. Presley’s mommy did it just right.
Just two years ago Savannah’s mom hired me to be her Gig Harbor baby photographer to take pictures of her big sister Eliana. I can’t believe that I am know posting a sneak peek for Elizana’s little sister. Time flies when families are growing. But those years that seem to go by so quickly are filled with so much happiness. For a sneak peek of big sister’s session click here. The one thing that Savannah have in common that makes for a really beautiful baby portrait is absolutely, indisputably, stunning eyes. They are so big and expressive. I don’t know if these sweet sisters get their perfect little peepers from their mommy or their daddy. What I do know is that they are lucky little geese.
Savannah’s mommy had a special request for her daughter’s portrait session. She wanted to make sure that I got at least one really awesome portrait of her baby girl sucking her fingers. Check! One perfect finger sucking portrait delivered! I love it when I am able to give mom’s exactly what they want at their sessions. I had lots of opportunists and took a few pictures that I love. Little Savannah was a good little girl and shared her pretty smile with us too. So we got a great mix of images that really show off this little lady’s budding personality. That is exactly what milestone sessions are all about!

What a pleasure it was to get to be the Tacoma newborn photographer for baby number two for the Duncan family. I am so glad the Duncan’s trusted me to come back with their baby boy. I love being a part of the celebration of the arrival of new babies. We decided to use blue for Jonas’s session and I didn’t even realize that I used the exact same blue blanket that I used for his sister’s newborn session. Here she is.
Definitely siblings! I even used the same little blue bucket at the request of Harper’s mommy. I love that Duncan babies have such perfect chubby cheeks. Jonas was pretty bright eyed and bushy tailed for his session. I don’t always get newborn to pass out asleep during their newborn sessions, try as I may. But he was so mellow that I was still able to pose him a bit even awake. What a good little guy. Harper wasn’t so sure yet how she felt about her new baby brother, or me, for that matter. It took a little coaxing, and a treat from my pantry, but we made some magic happen. My favorite thing about baby Jonas were his super cute little baby faces.
Peyton is perfect. I know her mommy knows so. I know her grandparents know so. And now I know. She was an absolute professional for her Tacoma baby photography session. Also as if she was born to be in front of a camera. She ate up every minute. Maybe she was so satisfied from her new found fame and skills at being glamorous in front of the camera that when it came to an appetite for cake, well….there just wasn’t one. Little Peyton didn’t really want to have anything to do with cake. Too messy. But she even then, was gracious enough to play act at cake smashing long enough for me to steal a few quick pictures of her. Just too much mess for this little diva. She was much more interested at sitting and looking divinely pretty. Her peaches and cream skin and shock of super blond locks, make for one very good looking toddler. My favorite picture of baby Peyton is the one of her in the little romper with the pink and white bow. Total cuteness overload right there. That romper, along with several other fabulous pieces tat I have added to my studio wardrobe come from a great little shop called Darling Baby. You can snag your own cute outfits here. So many adorable things to choose from I wish my kids were still little!
