I LOVE being a baby photographer! It makes me so happy to get to know families and to photograph their newborns throughout their first year! Peyton is one! I can’t believe it. I still think of her as a newborn. Maybe it is because I have a huge print from her newborn session displayed in my studio. But it seems like just yesterday. Never mind that I saw her a few months ago for a “sitting” session around her 6 month milestone. I feel like Peter Pan had it right all along. Little boys and little girls should never grow up.
Which reminds me of one of my all time favorite songs, “Never Grow Up” by Taylor Swift.
Your little hand’s wrapped around my finger
And it’s so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you’re dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything’s funny, you got nothing to regret
I’d give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that
Oh darling, don’t you ever grow up
Don’t you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don’t you ever grow up
Don’t you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won’t let nobody hurt you, won’t let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

Little people are just so much more fun than big people, lol! Happy birthday to one of my favorite little girls!
A princess was just born to the “C” family. I feel lucky to have been called on as the “Royal” newborn photographer. Mom and Dad were both bursting with pride. There new little lady will rule the roost.
And rightfully so. Why is it that little princess take control of our hearts and homes? Maybe it has something to do with this…
they smile ~ and it melts your heart
they laugh ~ and it melts your heart
they sing ~ and it melts your heart
they hold your hand ~ and it melts your heart
they run to you ~ and it melts your heart
they touch your face ~ and it melts your heart
they burrow into your chest ~ and it melts your heart
they cry ~ and it melts your heart
they console you ~ and it melts your heart
they idolize you ~ and it melts your heart
they love you ~ and have all of your heart
Clearly little girls come well equipped to steal your heart and with it in their hands they rule the roost.
Being a Puyallup baby photographer means I am super close to Sugar Babies, the best baby boutique around. We have been having fun in the studio having some of my newborn clients come back to try their hand at modeling.
Little Emma came to see me from north of Seattle for her photography session. Such a long drive for such a little princess. She looked so perfectly posh in her outfit I thought it would be cute to have a portrait of her pushing her baby doll in the pram. My good friend Afsi saw this and got it to me. I knew it would be perfect for birthday girls. Every girl has a doll or teddy, something they love to snuggle that would be just perfect for this little prop. I love that the doll is Emma’s doll. I hope she and her dolly will have many wonderful adventures together! Baby dolls make like sweet!
Why God made little girls
God made the world with its towering trees,
majestic mountains and restless seas,
then paused and said, ‘It needs one more thing.’
Someone to laugh and dance and sing,
to walk in the woods and gather flowers,
to commune with nature in quiet hours.
So God made little girls
with laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
with joyful hearts, and beautiful smiles,
enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He’d completed the task He’d begun,
he was pleased and proud of the job He’d done.
For the world when seen through a little girl’s eyes
greatly resembles paradise.
