Sneak Peek… {Birth Story} Bryson

Hurry | Everett Birth Photographer

“Hurry” was I all heard from Dad. I sputtered out “I’m in Lake Stevens. I am 30 minutes away! I will make it. I WILL.” Then I white knuckle drove from the trestle down to Evergreen Hospital averaging around 75-80 and praying not to get stopped by police. After all, it was 11:45PM on a Friday night.

I made it to the hospital, ran through the parking lot, ran through the hospital, RAN to the maternity ward, RAN down the hallway past nurses with a knowing smile and made it to room 2123. Took a deep breath. Did a little knock and called out for dad.

“She’s here!”

The ‘she’ was me, thankfully. Not the baby. But boy, did we cut it close. We knew mom was going to be fast but NOT 2 hours and 40 minutes fast. But the Lord’s timing is always perfect and things ended up just as they were supposed to!

Baby Bryson has been eagerly anticipated for this family whom you have seen before. Remember these sessions? Bryson’s maternity session, the fall family session where the pregnancy was announced, and the family as three last year and the year before. And now? Now is his birth story. Next will be his newborn session in the next week. Enjoy!

 

Sneak Peek… {family} Old Friends

Oh, Ella | Mukilteo Family Photographer

 I had the pleasure of photographing one of my oldest (maybe I should say ‘long time’ friend? ‘Oldest’ makes me feel…. well. Old.) friends and his family a few weeks back. The star of the family is undoubtedly Miss Ella. She is three. She is feisty. She is… a wee little diva who loves princesses and dress up and despises the camera? Yep, yep and YEP. She definitely made me work for the smiles, but her session was a success none the less!

Sneak Peek… {milestone} Kiernan

Another baby has grown up and hit the one year mark! This is the third time we’ve seen little lass Kiernan; first as an adorable baby bump, then as an amazingly beautiful newborn. Today she is back as a sweet tempered, almost walking on her own one year old. During her session, the weather was great, she was great, and even mommy and daddy were great! All around success if you ask me.

Spring has finally shown up in Seattle and I am all aflutter with one amazing family session after another. Up tonight is a baby planner pulling in for his 6 month session. Remember Kellan’s 3 month session? Well, prepare to have your socks knocked off because this little man is back and better than ever!

We met up last Sunday at my new favorite field in Mill Creek and he was a complete gem for over an hour. Mommy Kayti really rocked it out with fabulous wardrobe choices and daddy Fred brought on the baby smiles. Team work at its best for sure. Check out their extra big sneak peek below!

Yes. A pocket FULL of smiles… or at least that is where I am assuming Miss Ella hides all of her grins.  And, she only doles them out for m&m’s. 2 FOR 1 m&m’s at that. Smart little stinker she is! I met up with her and her parents last weekend, in the glorious SUN, for an evening family session. Mom, dad and I had a blast. The dogs did great. Ella… did her own thing most of the time BUT she did not defeat me! Check her out below:

Look at him grow! | Seattle Baby Photographer

We’ve seen him twice before; during his  completely breathtaking maternity session and again for for his tearless newborn session. Baby Luke is back and a big five months old! I met his parents at the University of Washington Quad area one Saturday morning to take advantage of the glorious cherry blossoms. Thankfully, we met relatively early because it seems that the cherry blossom trees at UW are one popular destination!

Sneak Peek… {new life} | Sullivan

Mr Sullivan is back and a big 5 months! I last saw him at the end of 2011 for his sweet newborn session that included one of my all time favorite shots on his mama’s GORGEOUS Anthropologie duvet. Tonight, Sully, and the duvet!, are back! Sullivan was an absolute peach during his session; smiles, drooly giggles and little sneaky looks. He did great and I can’t wait until Sullivan’s family session this summer!

Sloan v2.0 | Newcastle Baby Photographer

Sloan is back and better than ever! We’ve seen her a few times; during her mama’s GORGEOUS maternity session at Discovery Park in Seattle and then again for her sweet newborn session. She’s back today and is five months old and all kinds of amazing. And cute. And chubby.

And long suffering.

We put this baby girl in 6? 7? different outfits and sets. Her mama is MY kind of client. All kinds of frothy, frilly clothing, themes, props, and ideas await me at their home. I. LOVE. IT. Everything is a little over the top and completely adorable. Just like Miss Sloan. Check her out!

Sneak Peek… {4 days fresh} Ari Gray

4 days fresh | Edmonds Newborn Photographer

Meet sweet, little Ari Gray. He was a teeny peanut at 4 days old for his newborn session. I was blessed to be the first to hold him aside of mom and dad (and hospital staff) and am completely honored that Luke and Annamarie trusted me so much! We do have history… engagement and wedding photos a few years back and then their most recent shoot, baby Ari’s maternity session but I was still blown away that I had the chance for a few hour’s worth of snuggles when he was still so NEW. He was a complete angel and did fabulously. I look forward to seeing him again!

Colston | Newcastle Newborn Photographer

Meet snuggle bug Colston, the firstborn of Kristen and Franco (whom you’ve seen before at their ah-maz-ing  maternity session,) and little brother to a teeny little furball. Colston had his newborn session on his eleventh day of life and he was a sweet little snuggler who definitely appreciated the ninety degree room his session took place in. Kristen was also with me in the ninety degree room for three hours and was a real sport about it. I’d have to say all the sweat and little accidents from baby C were worth it. Check out his images below!
