Your Christmas Picture Checklist

If you're anything like me, you've been thinking about Christmas for weeks. There is always so much going on and I don't want to get to the end of the day and realize I didn't get any of the pictures that are living in my head. So, I made a list of pictures I know I want to get and I thought I would share it with you. The more organized you are, the less time you'll have to spend taking pictures and the more time you can spend enjoying the day!

6 Month Milestone Session in Silverdale, WA

When a six month old arrives at the studio you never really know what you're going to get. The second I opened the front door, Oliver flashed me the biggest gummy smile and I knew we were going to be just fine. 

This was such a fun six month milestone session! Oliver brought his mommy and daddy along and they were awesome. At one point, mom and dad were dancing with a dog and Oliver was loving every second of it. My studio was just the way I like it - full of love and happy babies. 

Jessica, 
Thank you for allowing me to capture Oliver at 6 months. Those bright blue eyes could melt anyone into a puddle. I've been told a happy baby is a reflection of a happy home. I don't think anyone could deny your baby is well loved. I cannot wait to see Oliver again for his 9 month milestone session!
