Newborn Sweetness {Olympia, WA Newborn Photographer}

_DSC4547-Edit

Oh sweet Malia!  What a treasured little person.  Krosbie and Justin are so in love, thoughtful and sensitive, I KNEW they would be wonderful parents!  Little Malia, barely two weeks old, made a bit of time for us (between nursing) to photograph her perfect little features.  It’s so relaxing cranking the heat up in the studio and sitting on the floor while photographing teenies. Although most of the session is usually split between diaper changes and feeding. Haha… In between all of that, I get to sit and hold a tiny miracle in my lap, and feel waves of gratitude that the child I am holding is loved beyond measure.  I just wish all children could be this loved…  So much love and congratulations to you! xo

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

And now the Baby is a Father…

I’m the oldest in a family of six kids.  Although it MUST have been chaotic, I don’t remember it being too rowdy.  There were kids in diapers for long stretches, and guess who was babysitter numero uno? Yep, me. I was 15 when the baby of our family arrived–Zachary.  My sister and I were away at camp and anxiously awaiting any news.  I remember someone breathlessly running through the woods to deliver the news to our cabin.  Another boy!  He was such a little stinker and so much fun. In fact, he still is a stinker, only a lot taller, and still so much fun to be with.  I know how lucky I am to have such a crazy family and LOVE my brothers and sisters so darn much! It’s truly a joy to watch them nurture their own darling little families.  Congrats to Zach and his sweet wife Desiree–little miss Payton is a blessed addition. xoxo

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 : )

 

Welcome Baby Cruz! Newborn Photo Session, Olympia, WA

I photographed Kiersten and David’s New Years Even wedding nearly two years ago.  A brilliant party and festive night, their guests danced into the wee hours.  I was thrilled for the when I found out they were expecting! And I could barely wait to capture their darling new baby boy Cruz!  They are a lovely couple, completely enamored with their little guy.  He was about the most complacent baby, barely fussed at all.  But when your needs are met, why fuss?  Congratulations you three!! xoxoDSC_8153-EditDSC_8103-EditDSC_8056-Edit

Where'd you get those Peepers? Newborn Photography Session, Olympia, WA

Newborn babies are such amazing, fragile creatures.  They change so quickly from the soft wrinkled skin and stormy gray eyes.  Their sweet yawns and squishy faces make for unexpected images, love that. Within just a few weeks they are on the way to chubville!  Another babyhood phase I love.  It was a sweet session with little Graya–this tiny nut was so dang strong.  She was actually holding her own head waaaaay up!   It such a joy to see new families figuring out the new routines and each other.  Congratulations Jade and Tyler!DSC_0603-EditDSC_0687-EditDSC_0775-EditDSC_0936-EditDSC_1051-Edit
