Maple Valley/Seattle Baby Photographer {Sam's Christmas Shoot}

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Seattle Baby Photographer {Sam's 6 Month Shoot}

A little late, but worth the wait, right?! My not-so-little Samuel Harrison is 6 months old and the time is just flying by!!! He is just barely under 25 pounds and definitely LOVES to eat! He has the most beautiful, biggest, bluest eyes that just melt my heart. He loves to smile with his big brothers, but put a camera in front of him and I get nothing! Hahaha! Yup, he's a photographer's child. Here are just a few out of a million that I captured of him on his 1/2 birthday. These lifestyle like photos are always my favorite. Sometimes ditching the props makes the most beautiful of pictures.

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {The Suchaire Family}

My last holiday mini session of the year! Little Maddi Jo was absolutely the cutest, most sweetest thing!!! Mom and dad weren't expecting to be in the photos, but of course, I made them take a family one ;). At the end of it all, I am pretty sure they have a little Baby Gap model on their hands. Adorable!!

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {The Marshall Family}

Isn't this family just gorgeous?!? And talk about personality!! Little Ethan really put on a show for me and boy did I adore all of his little facial expressions. Here are some photos of their holiday mini session…

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {The Moran Family}

Missing the clients that my business started with really makes this move that much more difficult. But, when I get to come back to visit, I get so happy to photograph these faces again. The Moran family is always such a joy to work with. Mr. Gavin was my very first newborn I photographed and now I cannot believe how big (and active!!) he is. Although he was having the time of his life being chased around the tree farm, we got some unforgettable poses…

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {The Kuhlberg Family}

The Kuhlberg family was such a joy to work with and I am happy mom finally got a professional family picture taken after many years of waiting. All 3 kids were oh sooooo adorable!!! They never stopped smiling and loved getting their picture taken. This is the age where it starts to get much easier, parents! Don't lose hope on that perfect family picture because it will happen sooner then later =).

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {The Beitlers}

The Beitlers were very excited (and very well prepared!) for their holiday mini session. We all were so happy that we got access to a REAL Christmas tree farm in Rancho Cucamonga for the day. Perfect location with perfect weather!!

Greyson will be celebrating his very first Christmas and mom and dad couldn't be more excited. Even Greyson's puppy, Malibu, was all about the shoot. I had so many picture perfect pics, but here are my favorites…

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {Colucci Family}

The Colucci family LOVE their dogs!!! A holiday shoot would be incomplete without them, so with the help of my assistant, I had success capturing them all together. I never thought that dogs would be just as challenging as antsy toddlers, so next time a squeaky toy and dog treats in hand is a must!!

Rancho Cucamonga Family Photographer {McKenzie and Gianna}

This definitely went down in the books as my fastest shoot ever!! As soon as I hit California ground, I headed to photograph these adorable sisters (who happen to be my nieces) for their holiday photos. We had a fun 10 minutes…

Seattle Newborn Photographer {Baby Jasmine}

Little Miss Jasmine was my last newborn of 2013 and boy did she make me work for it!! She came to my home studio not the happiest little camper, but with a little bit of time and patience, we got her sleeping and posed. Most of these were captured in the last 10 minutes of our session…

Rancho Cucamonga Baby Photographer {Greyson's 9 Month Shoot}

While in California for a brief few days, I not only got to photograph many beautiful families for their holiday portraits, but I also got to spend time with my adorable 9 month old nephew. He was all smiles for the camera and I could not just pick a few of my favorites… they all captured his personality perfectly!! Of course, we had to throw in my baby Sam in a picture because their chunky bums are just toooooo cute together!!!
