This big boy was about to become a big brother. His momma wanted a few pictures of just him before his little world got rocked by a newborn ;)
Howe Farm in Port Orchard, WA was a perfect backdrop for this all-boy session. He got to play with the barn door, admire the huge sunflowers and run around a dirt path. He was obsessed with my "magic tricycle" and it was the prefect prop! Enjoy this rustic session.
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.
It was the most perfect fall day in Port Gamble, WA. The trees were orange, the sky was light blue and the sidewalk was speckled with fallen leaves. I started photographing this sweet family when they were anxiously awaiting their little boy. It's been so fun to watch them blossom into parents and photograph this season of life. Guys, they make parenthood look pretty darn easy!
Sometimes I don't know what to say other than.... she was so cute, squishy, sweet, cuddly and I didn't want her session to end! She was such a peaceful little girl surrounded with love. And she totally rocked peach and cream.
When I first started out, Old Mill Park in Silverdale was my go-to location. There are so many hidden spots and I always seem to find a new little place. I hadn't been there in a while, so when Baby E's mom picked Old Mill Park I knew his birthday session would be a good one! This kid was so happy and loved to snuggle with his dad. And that box... he was obsessed!
I photographed this sweet family over the summer down at Fountain Park. This time, we got back together for a cozy fall session at Scenic Beach.
I love getting to work with friends. They are so natural in front of the camera and with these two cute boys - extra cuddly!
We took our time, letting big brother splash in the water and look for crabs. Scenic Beach State Park in Seabeck, WA is a little boy's paradise and a photographer's dream location.
Thank your R&S for spending the afternoon letting me chase you around with my camera. The love for your boys is apparent in every hug and giggle! - Ashleigh
I love getting to photograph families in their element. Welcome to the world little guy.
It was a perfect summer night at Point No Point in Hansville, WA. The sun was glowing, the air was still warm and the water was the prettiest shade of blue. I bet you'd never guess that Nikki was 38 weeks when we took these pictures, would ya? She wears pregnancy well and I cannot wait to see her as a mom. Here's to hoping that little boy decides it's go time soon!
When these three boys walked into my studio, I knew I was in for... a whirlwind? But seriously, these boys were so sweet. We had to use some magic to keep biggest brother in the studio, marshmallows to keep middle brother interested, and like most newborns, milk to keep the littlest sleepy. The boys did awesome and I love how light and delicate this session turned out.
Remember Oliver from his 6 month milestone pictures? Yep, he is a cutie and his parents are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We always bond over our love for the South - sweet tea and Chick-fil-a. Bremerton, you seriously don't know what you're missing out on.
We spent an evening at Kitsap Lake Park in Bremerton (it's quickly becoming a favorite) with the most amazing sunlight. Check out some of my favorites from this session and read what Jessica has to say about motherhood and breastfeeding.
"From birth, Oliver was an expert at breastfeeding. He latched our first try - even with mommy out of it from her spinal! Even in the haze, I will never forget that success."
"Take advice and criticism from everybody with a grain of salt - follow your instincts. Remember all babies are different and the fact that you DO care shows that you are a WONDERFUL mother and only want the best for your baby."
"My favorite part of being a mom is seeing my son's smiling, happy face whenever I come into the room. Even on my worst day, I know he can cheer me up."
"I can only hope that we give Oliver every chance in the world to be the best he can be. I hope that through us, his parents, he will know the possibilities are endless and that we will always have his back."
