{{ Kennewick Boutique Portrait Studio }} 1st Year Plan at 8 Months

Noah is back!  I am lucky enough to photograph Noah every month for his 'onsie' photo, but I also get a full session from him every four months for his first year plan.  He is becoming such a character, it's almost like he's my 'other child' seeing how much he's grown and changed in eight short months!  I loved this session particularly because of his vocal abilities :)  What's extra fun, is he wasn't crawling at his 8 month session, but when he came in for his 9 month onsie shot, he could do it!  Go Noah!!

Check out his newborn portraits here and his incredibly cute four month session here!

My fave!

{{ Kennewick Boutique Studio }} First Birthday Princess!

Oh my goodness, Charlie!  She was SO super adorable, and I could have photographed her for days.  Mom called or emailed in asking if I was doing any mini-sessions, as she wanted to get her Daughter in for some 1st birthday photos.  Well, I was doing my Valentine minis, but I told her that to best document it, first birthday portraits were best done as a full session, then we could get the cake smash in there too :)  

Mom brought in some goodies from Swanky Babies, a local boutique consignment shoppe, and a few balloons, and some small cupcakes as well as a little white round cake.  Low and behold, Miss C didn't really take to either of the sweet treats, although she was a big fan of the balloons :)  Dad was out of town so we didn't get to family photos, but I hope we can do those sometime this year!

{{ Tri-Cities, WA Family Newborn Photographer }} Childhood friends and babies!

Meet Ryker & his family!

Ryker's Momma & I were BFFs when we were younger.

I sent her an email asking if she'd like to volunteer her gorgeous family for some portfolio images I needed.

Yes, these are portfolio images for me, I admit it :)

I wanted to get some more images with Mom & Dad with their newborn baby.

Ryker wasn't too interested in being nakie, so we made due with his onsie.

I hope every family who brings their newborn in for a newborn session is ready to be in some images as well.

I just heard today that Mr. Ryker rolled over.  They're only so tiny for so long.

{{ Tri-Cities, WA Maternity-Newborn Photographer}} Miss Ava

Meet Miss Ava.

I photographed her twice in December, in Mom's belly and as a newborn :)

Ava was the very last session I photographed in 2011, a fabulous way to end my year!

Miss Ava was even on display in my Expo Booth!

{{ iheartfaces }} hugs & kisses

I did Valentine mini-sessions in my studio at the beginning of the month, but I didn't have a chance to take my kids in.  SO, we went in, on Valentine's day, and tried to get some of our own.  I got some 'okay' ones with the kissing booth set up (my kids are notorious 'photographer kids'), but I got this absolutely adorable one of them without all the 'extra' stuff.  I ordered it in a float wrap because I love it so much!
