Fragile Sweetness {Newborn Session, Olympia,WA}

I love photographing newborns–but I love watching how the new parents interact and dote over the newest little one even more. There is such tender protectiveness in their gaze, at both the baby and each other. What a wonderful time to reconnect as a couple and to bathe in the happy glow of the love that a newborn brings. Congratulations Ray and Andrea! Emery is so so lovely. And really, REALLY good at pooping… hahahaha You poor things–I don’t think a single stitch of your clothing was poop free by the end of the shoot… thanks for being such good sports : )

For true Olympia natives, Lakefair is a week of carnival rides, fair food, parades and fireworks–and it marks the midpoint of summer. For Haley and Rob, Lakefair will now hail their wedding anniversary! It was a perfect day, sunny and the right amount of wind. Under the shade of ancient trees in the backyard of Rob’s family home, sweet promises were made. Once the formalities were completed, it was onto some serious celebrating! The fiesta lasted well into the night fueled by great music, delicious food, and maybe just a tiny bit of tequila…. ayyyyyyyiyiyyiii!!! Love these two and the AWESOME friends and family! Thanks for allowing me to capture the crazy fun of your wedding day : ) xo

Am I dating myself with the Donnie & Marie song reference? Probably.

Following a dramatic lightening storm, the clouds parted, the rain abated, and the sun shone widely on the Smith Family farm as Heather and Michael said “I Do.”

Heather had the most meticulously planned details, I just LOVED the handmade signs and the burlap covered hay bale seated ceremony site, complete with birch trees lining the aisle and creating an entrance. Perfection!

Everywhere you turned were more adorable touches. It was such a perfect day…weather, food, locale and people–what more could you ask for? Congrats you two, thank you for allowing me to capture your day!!
