I have photographed two perfect baby boys all the way through their first year for this wonderful family. Jayden is the baby of the family and has the sweetest tender demeanor. I love that he is a Holiday baby because I got to add a little Christmas magic into his newborn and one year portraits. This image of him in his Santa hat is one of my favorites ever. Especially since putting that hat on him was a magical spark that helped this timid little guy relax enough to smile. That smile just lights up his whole face. Getting that shot was HARD. As a brand new walker, Jayden is still looking down to watch his feet as he walks. And no amount of monkey business on my part or his parents could get him to look up. And then there was this shot and it was perfect and worth the effort. I often have tender babies that suffer a bit from separation anxiety when they come to the studio. I told Jayden’s mom that time was all he needed. One of the reasons families choose to hire custom portrait photographers instead of big box production companies like picture people is so that you have that time at your disposal. A custom portrait photographer can evaluate the needs of each child client and judge their comfort levels in order to have a better chance for success. I am so glad that at Jayden’s last session with me I was able to get excellent images of him to share with his parents. And they will make excellent Christmas gifts!
A little bit of heaven
Drifted down from above –
A handful of happiness,
A heartful of love.
The mystery of life,
So sacred and sweet
The giver of joy
So deep and complete.
Precious and priceless,
So lovable, too
The world’s sweetest miracle,
Baby girl, is you.
Charlotte was exactly what I needed. It had been a week of dreary weather and I had started feeling as grey as the clouds. I rolled out of bed the morning of Charlotte’s newborn session and thought about how much I would rather just stay warm in bed. Her parents were driving down from the Seattle area and as I sat by the window waiting for them to arrive for their baby photography session I was feeling very distracted. It had been a week or two since I had photographed a newborn and I still to this days, after six of being a Seattle newborn photographer, get a little nervous. And then I met a beautiful baby girl. The minute I started carrying her to the studio my mood changed. Baby’s are a light that can pierce through even the most bah humbug attitude. She was perfection. Such a peaceful, content and perfectly plump little angel of perfection. I am so excited to share these beautiful images with her parents so that they can create birth announcement / holiday cards. Don’t forget, beautiful photo products like canvases and albums make a wonderful Christmas gift! Especially for the Grandma’s in your baby’s life!
Jackson is a third generation plane enthusiast. His Grandpa, Uncle and Daddy are all pilots. I think that is a pretty cool family tradition. All though right now Jackson’s favorite thing to do with planes is to put them in his mouth, not fly them. Lol, oh babies. Everything goes in the mouth. Jackson is a year old! We had fun dressing up this handsome muffin and taking some great picture of him. I am so excited to share them so that his Daddy, who is away for training, will get to see them. Funny enough Jackson was not a fan of cake. Isn’t that so ironic. Everything went in the mouth except the food. He was a little bit interested in the sprinkles, but the candle was in his mouth more than his cake. I just think that is so funny. Here he had homemade, yummy cupcakes and he would rather chomp on a wax candle. I love that I got to see Jackson again for a cake smash photo shoot. He was such a super cute newborn for his newborn portraits. Now all I need to do is talk his mommy into a baby sister or brother for this little guy next year;-)
Allison is all ready a natural in front of the camera. That bottom, middle image in the collage just absolutely slays me! I am so glad I was quick enough with the camera to catch that portrait perfect moment. I look at it and can see Allison all glammed up rocking it out for some fashion magazine in the future. I love little people and the things they do. It was so fun to meet Allison and her mom. When a family drives down from Redmond for their baby’s milestone cake smash images you know they must like your work. I am so blessed to be able to provide beautiful portraits for families. If you are looking for a Redmond baby photography please send me a message. I would be happy to answer any questions for you and help you with scheduling a session of your very own.
Little boys are treasures
Who are worth their weight in gold
And charm everyone around them
From the time they’re hours old.
They’re Mommy’s little darling,
They’re a special pal to Dad,
And they bring the very happiest days
A family’s ever had!
