I guess when you are a six-year old boy it’s just not cool to say “I love you Mom” so he has his own way of saying it…and I love that

It was such an amazing sun-filled weekend for this session and was thrilled to take a walk along the Silverdale waterfront with this fun family…which will be +1 in just a few more weeks.






The soft window light and a beautiful expecting mother…my choice for this session sneak peek. With only a few more weeks to go before welcoming a little girl, they have such a pretty name picked out and many lovely little things just received from her baby shower all ready to go.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her grow from mommy’s belly to newborn to now six months old and bursting with personality. No surprise that she would have a beautiful smile, both of her parents do too! I can’t wait to see them again when she turns one ♥

There is often a quiet excitement when a couple is expecting their first child. Still enjoying the time when its just the two of them and yet anxious to snuggle their little one. I feel lucky to meet them during this time when they interact with each other and the anticipation of baby…and then I see them as parents, sharing that love with their new addition. Here are my favorites of another wonderfully sweet couple who will soon be sharing their snuggles with their little guy.

The summer light, a gentle breeze, and a super sweet family sure makes for a wonderful session. I always like to take Mom aside for some of just her (we mom’s tend to have very few photos of “just us”) and of course I can’t resist trying to get a few from soon to be big-brothers (who tend to be incredibly adorable but a bit shy).

A sunny day on the Silverdale waterfront was certainly fun for big brother, who loved finding rocks to toss into the water. If it wasn’t for him pointing out the boats and little fishies, I might have been too preoccupied asking him about all the different things he liked to do. After all, he deserves the spotlight now because soon enough he’ll have to share it with his little baby sister. He sure did pucker up to give his Mom’s belly a kiss and was so sweet picking flowers and giving one to everyone (including sissy). Here are more photos of the session with this wonderful family and beautiful expecting Mom

I was definitely observing the awesomeness of this couple with a laughter filled session complete with a “Blue Steel” impression from Dad-to-be. We had a last minute location change due to windy weather but it ended up being a walk in the park after all.

We started out the session by reading “There’s Going to be a Baby” – if you’ve ever read this book to your child, you’ll understand why some of it caught me by surprise…too many ideas for big brother’s who might be a wee bit jealous. It was worth a few laughs and a few gasps for these lifestyle photos of the two of them, isn’t he a charmer? Such an adorable smile! I had to include this first one – using Mom’s belly as an armrest – why not?
I think I’ll have to try this again, it sure was a fun way to break the ice and get to know everyone.
It was sunny out but the chilly windy weather put us back inside to warm up shortly after catching a few shots. Though the light coming into their home was incredible – it truly made her pregnancy glow absolutely radiant. You know, its amazing how you can set up the same shot as another session and end with a unique result…the space, the lighting, and of course each client is so different…it really just makes it their own. I had such a great time with this Mom and this family, I’m looking forward to meeting little brother any day now – can’t wait!

Such a great couple to photograph and get to know. When we talked about their wedding plans, the groom-to-be immediately mentioned that he knew exactly the cake he wanted, but I forgot to ask what KIND of cake…any guesses? Their pups Rocco and Luna were so funny, even though they had been on a walk to tire them out earlier in the day, they were far from exhausted. I just have to share the one of them sitting still because it didn’t last long…I still giggle when I think of Rocco’s cheeks popping as he sniffed the ground…too cute!
