I’m not sure when it happen…but my little girl is turning into a young lady. I’m not sure if I’m ready for it…but there is nothing I can do. I’ve been trying to embrace it…and just enjoy the ride. Today when she put this skirt on and said…”Mom! Let’s do a photoshoot!” …I jumped. I know I’m not going to get these precious little moments forever, so we ran out side and shot while the sun was still out. She literally looks like a girl version of my husband..its so funny to see. I am so thankful for her sense of adventure and confidence. I’m thankful that she still wants to hang out with me. :)

He didn’t want to do a photoshoot…but I did make him take just 1!! :)

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! :)

There is something so fun about dressing up for halloween….Its like a time capsule of what kiddos are into right at that moment. We’ve had a batman, Jack Sparrow and this year…a cowboy. And my daughter has been Hannah Montana (twice) a spy, and this year is my favorite…an 80s rock star! I love it!!  It just says a little something about my kids and what they love.

I love this little guy! He is really into Thomas the Train…and catapillers :).

If you haven’t signed up your kids for our First Annual Halloween Mini Sessions….you still have time! Email me at Kaylee@eylanderphotography.com and we will get you booked!

I absolutely loved this costume for Terri’s Scotty, Maggie! The girl is a punk! 

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!!

About a year an a half ago, I got an email from a local diva who was looking for a photographer. She was starting her own boutique, Diva-911, in Lake Stevens and was looking for a photographer to collaborate on some projects. I went to an event that she was having at her new store and we immediately clicked. I couldn’t believe there was such a fun store so close to my house in Lake Stevens…with so many things that I just loved: big bright purses, really cute hats to wear to the bus stop in the morning before school while dropping off my daughter, and of course amazing jeans!  What I really loved was Jackie’s great positive attitude. I just love being around positive people, so hanging out with her is always fun. I signed on and did a few events with her, during my non wedding season. Now I do some shoots every once and a while, whenever I can.

What amazes me, is how far Diva 911 has come in only a year and a half. She has designed her own Diva-911 signature line, and this shoot was for a cool Seattle magazine: The D-list. I have actually done one other shoot for this mag before…last year. Such a small world. She will also be having a debut fashion show (TBA)…so lets support our local girl!

Thanks to Lake Stevens Self Storage Depot for letting us use an empty unit! I’ve been eying this place for about a year now (while driving passed it to get to Diva-911) and it was the perfect location for this shoot!
