It is super exciting to get to meet many new moms from all over Western Washington. But my favorite is when I get to be a Puyallup Baby Photographer. I always hope to see the cute little babies that I photograph, from their newborn portraits all the way to their birthday cake smash, around town. When I work with parents to plan their photography sessions I always ask if their little one has a favorite toy, food or hobby. It helps me to personalize sessions. Kate loves apples. So this idea was born. One sweet, beautiful baby girl, a market basket and a bushel of Honey Crisp apples (only the best for my clients!). It was the first time I’ve used apples in a session. She really did love them. I captured some huge, great big smiles. I love working with babies. I will be posting some more sneak peaks in a facebook album on Monday. So be sure to check there after the weekend.
As an Edmonds baby photographer my job is to capture timeless portraits. I always aim to capture the curious nature of playtime for babies. The fun part is staging it so that I get a beautiful portrait while baby plays. Once the styling is complete it is all up to baby to explore and interact. Every time, even if I am reusing a set the images are unique. No two babies are alike. It is so interesting to see how adding a teddy bear into the photographic environment can impact a piece of art. Some babies smile with excitement. Some don’t even notice the toy. Others reach out to grab it and bring it near. Little boys often bat it away. Sophia gently pet his head.
Last year this post would have been titled Auburn newborn photographer. Last year, this basket had two brand new babies in it. Last year we were celebrating two brand new little lives. This year I am now their baby photographer. This year I barely fit two wiggly one year olds in my basket. This year we are celebrating a first year mile stone. Two sweet babies who have grown, learned and played together for a whole year to become who they are today. I love being a newborn and baby photographer. I love getting watch little people grow into happy, smiling toddlers! Happy Birthday Zoe and Xavier!!!
There needs to be a Gig Harbor Baby contest. I swear I have had some super cute babies come to see me for photography from the other side of the bridge this year. Eliana was sweet and spunky to go along with her good looks. I could have taken pictures of her in different sets all day. I love it when babies warm up to me really quickly. She was such a little squish. I had a really hard time picking favorites from her session. I can’t wait to share them all with her mom!
Koben came to me a year ago for newborn photography. I can’t believe it has been a year already and he just came to see his favorite Puyallup Baby Photographer. Time flies too fast. It seems that the only thing that makes time go by quickly is being happy with a baby snuggled in your arms. So many great milestones have been met with strength and determination in his family. Koben’s mom amazes me. Not long ago she passed out in a diabetic coma. Today she runs. She runs and runs and runs. I haven’t ever met anyone that runs as much as she does. She has stolen her life back with a fierceness that I LOVE. I hope her kids will be inspired by her as much as I am. I hope they meet the challenges they will face in their lives with as much determination.
Do you want to be inspired today? Here is a little article just published about her…
