Clayton | Cake Smash | Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Look who is ONE!!!! My youngest nephew, Mr. Clayton James!!! 

Aunt Ashley flew in just to take his one year photos. One of our sessions was his cake smash shoot. I am so happy we went with the lumberjack theme because that little belly with suspenders are to die for! 

He was a little under the weather, but that didn't stop him from looking as adorable as ever. My sister did great with the props and I am happy I delivered on the cake. 

Happy 1st birthday, buddy!

Owen's 10 Month Mini | Seattle Baby Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

It has been awesome photographing Owen the last 10 months. I think this has been the 6th session we have had together and it's crazy being able to watch his personality grow! 

For his 10 month mini milestone session, we decided to mix it up and have some fun!! What better way to do that then have a bath shoot! 

This may have been our last indoor mini shoot seeing as we are going outdoors for his one year cake smash!! I can't wait.

Stella {3 months} | Seattle Baby Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

Stella came in for a 3 month mini milestone session with her big sister, Natalie. I haven't seen Natalie since she was 3 months old herself. She has gotten so big and so cute!!

3 month sessions can be very tricky, as posing is near impossible, and it can be even more difficult when a little one isn't holding up their head yet. We still got adorable facial expressions from Stella. Natalie wasn't too in to taking pics, but maybe at the 6 month session, she'll have a change of heart and we can get her smiling!!

Lennex {7 months} | Seattle Baby Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

It has been 7 months since I have seen Lennex and she has grown so much since her newborn session!! I will let these photos from her mini milestone session speak for themselves because she is just too cute for words!!!

Levi {7 months} | Seattle Baby Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

In the midst of many milestone sessions last week, I met 7 month old Levi. Him, his mommy, and aunty came to my home studio in Maple Valley and we had a lot of fun!! It's amazing how many shots I can get in under 30 minutes. This little guy definitely gave us all sorts of expressions! I can't wait to see and photograph him again!!

Elise {3 Months} | Seattle Baby Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

I had the pleasure of meeting 3 month old Elise for a mini milestone session last week. She was quite the cutie!!! It's a bummer I didn't get to photograph her for her newborn photos, but I am still very excited about our sessions to come!

Some of my favorites from her session…

Malaki's 18 Month Session | Seattle Child Photographer | Lakewood, WA

I was so excited to go back to shoot at Ft. Steilacoom with all the fields of tall grass, but much to my disappointment, they just mowed it ALL!! If someone out there knows their mowing schedule, I would love for you to get in touch with me to get me informed. Thanks!!!

Anyway, we still had a great scenery for Malaki's 18 month session. I have photographed him a handful of times since he was just 8 days old. And, now, that gets to continue because he is going to be a big brother!!! Mom and dad just found out they are having another boy, so we attempted some announcement photos. 

Mr. Malaki was not a fan of anything this day. I think he fears me more and more with each session. We struggled quite a bit, but managed to get some smiles in between the tears. Mom and dad were troopers like always!!
