I had such a sweet time with Little Miss E! Since we moved to the Tri Cities in April, I’ve been secretly having my eye on this little one…waiting for the special day I would get to photograph her. Her parents go to our incredible church, Life Church Tri Cities, and I think I met her parents the first week we were there….and Little Miss E too!

Aren’t her big blue eyes just to die for?? I thought this one was going to take  some more warming up…and I’ve been working on my baby friendly smile tactics…but I really didn’t even need to, because she was ready to be a star (and I had her 2 amazing parents, and her fun brothers that were there to do all the hard work!).

I love one year olds because they are a little independent and still are relatively dependent…and they love attention! I  had so much fun with all the pink and pearls in this session!  I headed to their house for the session and I was excited to see a full table of fun clothes and accessories to choose from!

I always love snagging a few images of sweet little teeth that are just coming (or falling out, for that matter). It marks such a specific and short time in our kids lives, I love to make sure we get that on film…and I count it as a little challenge for myself! I’m so glad I got a few of these!

The other thing I love to shoot when doing a kids portrait session is hands….hands change so much over time and I just can’t get enough of little chubby fingers and wrists!  So Sweet!

Just a little sneak peek of one of my favorite fams….I love that I got to shoot their engagement session, their wedding and how their family! We also did a fun cake smash…those photos coming soon! :)

Man…I love these people. Have you ever met a couple or a family where you instantly say to yourself…..we could be great friends with these people!!! Well….for our family, its the Bogners. Not only are the parents funny…but the kids have a great sense of humor too…and their kids click with our kids….so this summer we spent some time in Crescent Bar, where our love for them just grew!  So to say that I was a little sad when I heard  that they are moving out of state….is an understatement. I know its a new adventure for them…but I really don’t want to let them go!

So what do you do when a pilot asks you to take pictures of his family?? You get an airplane and head to the Arlington Airport! :) Actually…when Nick was getting his Pilots license, Renae and I had chatted about doing a session with a plane and aviators at the airport….and we didn’t make it happen until we found out they were going to move to New Mexico! We lucked out on the weather and had a blast shooting!

Are these guys cool, or what???

I just have so say something about each of these kiddos….Haley is extremely smart, can do a mean cartwheel and has a knack for making a buck! The girl should definitely own her own business someday.

Ah…Luke! He just turned 5 and is so sweet. He has come out of his shell in the last few years and I can’t wait to see what he does with his life! 

Last, but certainly not least…Miss Kassidy! This girl loves the spot light and she isn’t going to let a little thing called deafness hold her back. The girl talks with her hands, but has enough personality…that she doesn’t even need to speak with her mouth! I get a huge hug from her every time I see her and just enjoy her hilarious sense of humor. 

I love when a couple that has been married over 10 years is still hot for one another. Those are the kind of people I want to hang out with. A great marriage is hard work and worth working on…and these two are still in love! I love it!

It was literally at this moment….when I realized how much our family is going to miss this family. I shed a tear when I started to think about how much fun they are! They will be missed.

Seriously…these guys are one of my fave little families! I shot their fun engagement session at Golden Gardens, then their great wedding in Maple Valley…both were so much fun! I was so excited when they signed up for my family portrait day! Its always fun to see my wedding clients, especially when they have a new little addition!

They visited me at my new studio and property in Lake Stevens and we had a blast tromping around the field.

This little bear is a staple in the fam! We had to get a few including him (her?) !

Alot of sister love in this family!

Seriously! Do you just want to squeeze her?? So sweet!

I decided to shoot little Penelope on my grandmother’s quilt…it has the perfect texture and feel…she was a sweet heart!!

Yummy!!! Look at those big brown eyes!!

I don’t know if you heard…but I’m pro eharmony.com. I have had so brides & grooms that have met online…but this is my first family! These two have the exact same ( I can’t stress this enough) sense of humor…and I love that they’ve infused their crazy sense of humor into their kiddos!  We had a blast, and I just loved these girls!
