First Look: Milestone Session | Bremerton Child Photographer

She is sweet as can be and an excellent backward scooter. She was mostly quiet except when her big brother would crack her up. I've photographed this sweet girl from her first few moments on earth to now, 6 months. Oh, how I'll miss this family.

Rewind a few months. She was so sleepy for her newborn session. We did so many setups! 

Rewind a few more days. She had daddy wrapped around her finger before she even opened her eyes. 

Simplicity | Bremerton Newborn Photographer

During the Newborn Retreat, a guest photographer spoke on natural newborn photography. I gasped and ran to show my husband. It was so simple yet took my breath away. 

While I had already started taking steps to strip down my newborn sessions, I am so excited to embrace this mindset and simply my work! 

Oh, and can we talk about this boy's hair?

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!
