Finally getting around to upating my blog. This was a fun family session with some really great kids! We had a wonderful time.

I had the honor of photographing this little guy when he turned one last year. Â Now he’s expecting a brother and just turned two! Â Â It was wet and yucky outside the day of their session so we stuck to the studio. Â Here’s the link to his one year portraits: Â Evan’s 1 Year Portraits
My favorite age! Â Especially when they can sit up on their own. Â Â One of my last sessions of the year!
Its been busy with the holiday rush, everyone coming in to take advantage of the Mini-Sessions for Holiday cards, etc. Â Â Here’s just a few of some of the families that have visited recently.
We had a blast at this gorgeous location. Â And while I don’t think I’ll go back there again in the morning (I like the evening light better) I did manage to find some great spots to avoid the harshness of the morning sun. Â The boys were complete gems too! Â Fun Fun times!
The weather was perfect this fine early August evening at Tolmie State Park for this beach session. Â The kids were so good, they made the session a breeze. Â Â Thanks K. and B. for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful family!
This little one had the reddest hair I ever did see! Â She took after her mama for sure.
When Baby “G” came back in we concentrated on getting a variety of portraits with his mom and dad, and family portraits, as well as adding a few shots that we didn’t get a chance to do in the earlier session. Â Â He fought us hard, but he finally fell asleep at the end.
To all the moms out there, new and not so new, I wish you a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Haven’t had the chance to update the blog with a few more posts of K. from her one year old session. Â The BW one with all the white was from outside in the snow. Â She wasn’t actually buried up to her waist, but kneeling down in the snow. Â We were only out for a few minutes but we had fun playing in the cold wet stuff.
What a dream! Â Sweet baby Leighton slept so well for us. Â Â It helped that we had the studio a toasty 85 degrees and the space heater blasting. Â I have so many favorites that I just can’t choose….so I’ll post all my faves. Â A few new hats too. Â Found the big chunky cream one at a Holiday Bazaar last month and I knitted the new striped one.
 
I often joke with clients that I’d be happy if they come for their newborn session straight from the hospital, but never quite get any takers. Â This beautiful family was from out of town and preferred to not have to come back to Olympia a few days later for their newborn session. Â Luckily we were able to make it happen (you know how unpredictable those babies can be when it comes to being born at a certain time). Â Â And while I was CERTAIN that we’d get a million sleeping baby shots as he was so young, this little one had other ideas, and stayed awake for us the entire time. Â I have to say he was the most alert newborn for being so young. Â Â Older brother participated too and we also concentrated on a family portrait.
It was a nice break to have off over the holidays, but finally getting back to posting sessions again. Â This is a family wanting to update their family portrait because they have a new addition to their family! Â
Meet 11 day old baby Desmond. Â He was such a wide awake and alert newborn, probably the most calm and awake infant I have ever photographed! Â Usually awake and calm don’t go together in the studio, but Desmond was a breeze to photograph. Â We got so many great shots, it was hard to choose which ones to post.
We’ve been having fun in the studio with family portraits. Â Here’s just a few of my favorites!
Its that time of year again…..everyone is coming in for family portraits to give as gifts for the holiday season and for greeting cards. Â I got the chance to photograph this fun family two weeks ago in the studio and I was amazed how well their little ones worked with me! 
I’ve gotten the chance to photograph these two children separately over the last year or so, and was thrilled when I got the call to photograph them altogether for family portraits. Â I always love it when everyone matches so beautifully together too. Â
Â
We had the best time! Â Fighting gloomy overcast skies that threatened to pour forth with rain (they did after their session was over) we took advantage of the beautiful fall foliage. Â This spirited 10 year old definitely showed me his full-of-life personality. Â He was a blast to photograph…and his mom was pretty “cool” too. Â :-) Â You can see the love they share for each other, and that’s the whole point of what I do–being able to capture that bond between family members.
