Spring is here and with it, NEWBIES {Newborn Portrait Session, Olympia, WA}

I luuuuurve babies, especially the babies of my siblings. The baby of our family just welcomed his second little one, Gracen, into the world last week.  It never ceases to amaze me holding a newborn–she was just inside someone else, hours earlier… fahreekee and awesome…and now, boom, out, being a cool baby.  It was so darn sweet to see her older sister Payton holding her, singing her songs, and just being a darling 2 year old.  Dang these girls are sweet!  Thanks for hanging out with me today you cute cuties.

Cheeks and Chubs, Jack’s 3 month portrait session {Olympia baby photographer, Olympia, WA}

Babies!  It’s such a treat to have little ones in the studio, especially when they have cheeks like Jack.  This sweet little guy is such a happy, smiley, cooing, drooling bundle of cuteness!  His momma Nichole is already his biggest fan, laughing easily over our failed #Pinterest attempt to cover his face in red lipstick smooches.  Dang it!  How to keep those smooches smear free is beyond me!  Still completely adorable though…  I can’t wait to see what he does next! xo_DSC4116 _DSC4199 _DSC4234 _DSC4321

Finding Shelter {Newborn Session, Olympia, WA}

Another rainy spring afternoon in the Northwest…one of those days you’re grateful to be inside. Aaron and Lauren brought freshie, week old Noelle, in for her first portraits bundled in a sea of pink sweetness.  She had more hair than my boys had at age three!  Dark, lustrous hair that almost shone as brightly as her parents beaming faces.  Parents who, I marveled, looked remarkably well rested : )

I miss those days where you would lose yourselves for hours, just watching a yawn, a nose wriggle or listening to the funny newborn grunts.  The miracle that becomes the center of your world. As I watched and photographed Lauren and Aaron with Noelle, I saw a place of such love. And I knew that no matter how much rain fell in our verdant city, she would always have a place of shelter. A loving, cherished shelter.  Congratulations to you! xoxo
