Baby Michael | Lifestyle Newborn Shoot | Maple Valley, WA

I couldn't be more excited to introduce to you baby Michael!! I am so excited for this mommy, who is  a very good friend of mine. It has been a journey to get here, but he was well worth the wait!!

Little Michael came a few weeks early, but was so perfectly chunky!! I went to their home here in Maple Valley when he was just 5 days new for a lifestyle newborn session. I just love how these sessions turn out and I am so happy with my transition from full studio/posed newborn photography. We still get some squishy cute poses in there, but the focus is FAMILY... photos that will never go out of style and the ones I know that will be cherished for forever. 

Enjoy these favorite shots of mine. I am sure you will be seeing this guy grow through my lens with many more shoots ahead!!

Welcome to the world, baby MP3!!!

Caroline | Lifestyle Newborn | Kirkland, WA

Welcome to the world, baby Caroline!! At 11 days new, I was honored to hang out at her beautiful home and take some lifestyle newborn shots of her and her adorable family. She was just perfect and slept the entire time. I think I saw her eyes at the very end!! 

I was first greeted by big brother Nolan... "Did you bring me a present?!" Such a character! But, darn, forgot his gift!!!! From then on, we had so much fun and he even got to help take some photos!  

After sessions like these, I feel so excited about my new adventure with my business. Getting away from the distraction of props and poses really captures families beautifully. These are images that will be remembered forever.  Enjoy some of my favorites...

Ian 8 Days | Seattle Newborn Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

I am so happy we did maternity photos as early as we did because baby Ian came 3 weeks early!! What a surprise! And I was just so impressed at how calm these new parents took the sudden, early change in their lives seeing as they were just about to move! I guess the little guy didn't want to miss all the action.

Ian's newborn session went absolutely perfect and we zoomed through it all in just a couple hours, not even seeing his eyes open at all! I love it when that happens. Daddy is a chef (at one of my favorite places!), so I had to put something cute together for a pic. Cutest little baby in a pot! They cooked up one adorable little guy.

Kennady 7 Days | Seattle Newborn Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

I am so thankful and happy when I have people book with me based off recommendations from others. And, this family was recommended by a friend from Cali, which made it a "very small world" situation! 

Kennady came into the world a big girl at 9 pounds... I LOVE me some BIG babies!! Those few extra pounds make quite the difference when getting that tight swaddle, but those rolls are worth it! I am so happy we spent a good amount of time getting some parent shots because they are just so simple, pure, and beautiful. These new parents were so in love with their new little one and it just put a smile on my face. 

Kennady was a very good girl for me and I hope I see her again in the future. Enjoy some of my favorites…

Quincy 14 Days | Seattle Newborn Photographer | Maple Valley, WA

Quincy came into the world a little late, but well worth the wait!!! I was in LOVE with all that hair! I remember mom thinking he was going to come a little early, or at least on time, during our maternity session, but I guess he was in no hurry!

He came into my studio at 14 days new and once we got him undressed, he was wide eyed and ready to party!! I cannot believe the eye contact he had and how well he focused on faces. I was a little nervous this was going to risk his sleepiness, but I couldn't have asked for a better session.
