(could have used a hairbrush!)

I even got one of the two of them together!! I did get one of them smiling, but I like this one better. I may have to get this one BIG…I love this one!

And good thing I caught it because seconds later it turned into this:

and went downhill from there…

A beautiful evening!

It’s easy to see where the kids get their good looks!

During the session, a young, injured bird came right up. It wasn’t afraid of us at all, and seemed to want help. It even ate out of Dad’s hand! Hopefully it made it safely.

Thanks, Norah and Frank for letting me photograph your beautiful family! And for the jicama salad recipe! I can’t wait to make it!

This dog was so well-behaved! She listened, she was awesome with the boys, obeyed commands. And loved to play!

The first year of your baby’s life is magical!! Your baby will grow from a squishy, helpless, sweet-smelling bundle into a toddler! You and your baby will experience so many firsts this year…their first smile, first time to roll over, first time to sit up, first solid foods, first giggles, first tooth, crawling, standing, maybe even walking (then it’s a whole new ballgame!).

Treasure these precious moments with my Milestones Plan. You’ll save on session fees and prints, and at the end of your baby’s first year you will have a beautiful 10×20 storyboard with a picture of your baby from each stage of their unique first year!

Schedule your sessions around precious milestones!
At around 4 months baby will be grinning and laughing and possibly sitting up! This is a WONDERFUL time to capture!
At about 7-8 months, baby will be attempting (or mastering!) crawling, and maybe beginning to stand with support!
And of course, there is baby’s first birthday! What is more fun than a baby digging into a messy cake?? Cake and balloons are on me!

So how does it work?
• You pay $200 for 3 sessions in your baby’s first year, payable at the time of the first booking
• You will be able to order as many prints as you like at 25% off my a la carte print prices for orders placed within 7 days of the gallery being available to you online
• You will receive a 10×20 storyboard at the end of the three sessions to document your baby’s milestones
• And if you had a newborn session with me, apply your ENTIRE newborn sitting fee as a print credit toward one order from the Milestones plan! At current pricing that’s an extra $100 to spend!

All sessions under the Milestones plan must be completed by baby’s 15th month.

Introducing Willa. Just 5 days old and so sweet! I love it when they are so new and squishy! I think one of the best parts of this job is being able to hold the brand new babies! Here are a few favorites…

The light really cooperated for an evening session in Edmonds Monday night. The rain held off and I had a great time with these lovely young ladies! These are just a few of my favorites! There were so many it was hard to narrow it down!

A friend of mine was nice enough to volunteer her and her grown daughters when I asked for mother/daughter models. They were a lot of fun! Mo, you raised some beautiful daughters!

And while the family was all together we took the opportunity to get some shots of her daughters with their beautiful kids! I loved seeing this family all together, laughing, enjoying each others company…

Here are a few more of my favorites. I do wish their other sister could have joined us…maybe next time!
