About an hour before we were supposed to meet the clouds rolled in and it started to sprinkle. We decided to move forward with the session and hope for the best. Dad watched the radar as I worked with the kids and little miss toted the umbrella (that was bigger than her) as we walked around. With the pastel colors, snuggles, giggles and dancing, it was the perfect night despite the rain.

It was so cold and windy during this session, but you'd never know based on how happy this little girl was. She literally smiled non-stop the entire time we were walking around Old Mill Park.
The cold weather gave us the excuse to take a lot of snuggly pictures and pull out the mouse hat... which is the cutest thing you've ever seen.

It was a rainy afternoon in Downtown Bremerton, but it's always a blast with this crew.
First Look | Port Orchard Family Session
When shooting in new locations, I always get there early to scout out spots. I really wanted these two pictures, but was worried asking a new family to climb up in a window would send them running for the hills. They were game for anything and I am obsessed with the resulting pictures!

I got to work with baby brother for his newborn pictures about a month ago. I was so excited he brought his sisters back for a follow up session. Big sister loved everything about the session. Posing for me, telling her sister to pose, helping me push the button to take pictures - she loved it! Little sister was just there for the fruit snacks and showing me her "little sister" necklace. And brother, he didn't really care what was going on. This sibling session was so much fun and I think momma is going to love having this (crazy) phase of life captured forever.
I think follow up sessions are a wonderful idea for bigger families! Newborn sessions are long, parents are tired and your little one is still trying to figure out life outside of the womb. This session was pretty quick, we had a lot of laughs and baby brother didn't have to go through even more baby yoga and outfit changes. Everyone wins!

I would call her sassy pants, but she "doesn't even have on pants!" You can't even imagine the personality bottled up in this tiny three year old body.

I love working with friends. The sessions are so relaxed and you don't have to "break the ice" with the kids. Especially these kids. Big brother's biggest concern was that I was going to steal is wallet (which actually only contained one Pokemon card), big sister was amazed that my reflector could give her sparkly princess eyes and baby sister was just happy to be there.
The fall colors at Howe Farm in Port Orchard didn't disappoint either. I mean, that yellow tree. Come on!

I seriously love this family. I photographed them around this time last year for their Christmas card pictures. I was so excited when they choose me again for 2015! Not only is this family super nice, the kids... their little personalities shine in pictures.
When it started to sprinkle right before their session, I was so sad. Mom still wanted to go for it because the kids were dressed and you know what a feat that is! I ran around Port Gamble looking for covered spots. We ended up using two covered porches and I must say, I adore these pictures.
