Introducing Newborn J: Puyallup Newborn Photography

Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure to meet and photograph newborn J and his Mom & Dad. I love that my job allows me to meet so many tiny bundles of cuteness, and little J did not disappoint! He even decided that since I am having my own little man in 17 weeks, that he would get me used to the joys of little boys early (I think he peed 3 times in 30 minutes!). And let me tell you, that kid has a powerful aim! =) Luckily I had already given his parents the spiel about how all the backdrops are completely washable, and that I fully expect them to be initiated at least once during the shoot.
I think we were able to get some beautiful shots before J decided he had had enough and wanted to get a good sleep (one in which people weren't moving him into different positions) before his next feeding. And check out Mom, doesn't she look absolutely great for having a baby only 8 days before?

Meet the T Family: Seattle Family Photography

Yesterday I met the T's at one of my favorite parks in Seattle, the UW arboretum. This beautiful family was up for practically anything, including hanging in a tree like monkeys =) Older sis E was a total natural for the camera, and at one point even got behind the lens to take a picture of Mom! Younger sis R was excited for photos at first, but quickly lost interest in sitting still and smiling =) Can't say that I blame her, though, when there are some great places to run around! Or cell phones to dig out of Mom's purse =)
The weather was beautiful, and I think we were able to capture some really great shots!

Meet the K Twins: Seattle Toddler Photography

After my Saturday morning session with the W family, I got to spend the afternoon with the K twins! Last time I saw these cuties they were less than two weeks old and we stuffed them in Christmas stockings for newborn photos! Now they are sitting up and preparing to be mobile! R & A are such happy babies, and totally rocked the camera the whole session!

Meet theW Family: Puyallup Family Photography

On Saturday I met up with the W family at Pt Defiance Park in Tacoma for a family photo shoot. Little Miss L was so excited to see the ducks and to run around, she wanted nothing to do with the sitting still for photos business =) Regardless, I think we were able to catch some great family photos! And Mom and Dad were able to get a few photos as a couple while L busied herself running around!

Introducing Baby M: Puyallup Newborn Photography

Yesterday I had the pleasure to photograph the W family! Mom surprised Dad with a photo session for his birthday and Father's Day, and they loaded up the whole family (including the proud big sis, Cocoa the dog =) )to visit me at my home studio. Baby M is four weeks old, and so full of cuteness! She's such a content baby, and hardly cried even when we moved her into many different poses. After spending a few hours with this family, I could tell that this child is going to grow up with so much love (even from Cocoa!).

Meet L, J, and Gorgeous Little C: Seattle Engagement and Family Portraits

Last Sunday I met L, her fiance J, and their adorable daughter C at Golden Gardens in Seattle. L's friend K gave the couple a gift certificate for and engagement photo session with Stacey Atkin Photography, and we had a great time!

It took little C awhile to warm up, but after playing on the playground and in the water with Mom & Dad she was all smiles! We also had to battle the squints and blinks because of how bright it was outside, but I think we were able to capture some amazing moments!
