New Blog Header is DONE! {Bainbridge Island Children's Photographer}

I know many of you have been probably checking in often because you were so anxious to see my new blog header :)!  Ok probably not, but I hope you all like it.  I designed it myself which is a pretty big deal for me, as it only took about a million layers, and then add on the difficult process of choosing which photos to showcase.  There are SOO many I love it isn't fair that I only get to post five.  Anyhoo, my blog needed a little face lift so there you have it :)!

New Blog Header Under Construction....:)

New town, new house, new blog header.  It only makes sense :)!  I am not very savy when it comes to designing things like this on my own so bare with me as I work out the kinks.  Check back by this week for the unveiling of my new blog header.  Ok seriously I know you all have much more important things to look forward to this week, but just humor me :)!



This is NOT helping......{Bainbridge Island Washington Newborn Photographer}

My husband and I have decided we are about 99% sure we are happy with having just two boys.  Well I should say he is 100% sure and I am about 95% sure.  At least I was up until last weekend. 

You see my sister in law came to visit with her beautiful, perfect little angel baby.  You know those baby books that describe the different types of baby temperaments?   Well, miss Sydney June falls into the "Angel Baby" category to the T.  If I knew for sure I would have a girl that was as sweet and easy going as Sydney, I would do it in a heart beat :)!  Oh well, meanwhile I will just have to snuggle, and smother her with all my love :)!

Can you see why I am so in love......?  Which is why I couldn't help but post almost her entire session :)!

Better Late Than Never {Bainbridge Island WA Childrens Photographer}

I have had taking Brooks's 3 year old pictures on my to do list for months! I wasn't planning on doing a session with him till next weekend, but I wanted him to try on his new clothes to make sure they fit. Well they fit, so I thought I should try out the beautiful pockets of light in my new house. Well, a few shots turned into a few more, and after ten minutes I had so many that I loved I think I will count this as his session :)!

Warning: I had Mommy goggles on as I edited these.

Brooks, my love, you are such a ray of sunshine in our home. You keep us on our toes every minute, and you are sooo much like me that it is scary. We can't imagine our world without you in it. We love you little monkey!



Cherry Blossoms + Sunshine + Beautiful Maternity = Spring?? {Maternity Photographer, Bainbridge Island WA Photographer}

Nothing says 'Spring' to me more than a little bit of sunshine, cherry blossoms, and a beautiful mama to be. 

I actually caught a glimpse all of those things in a single afternoon this past week. 

This sweet couple was just a breath of fresh air.  To say they are excited for their new little man to arrive is an understatement, and I for one can't wait to meet him!  He is one lucky baby to have such incredible parents, and I was thrilled to capture their love and anticipation for his arrival.

I needed a fun couple like this after a full week of painting, cleaning, moving out, and moving into our new home.  We are settling in nicely and hoping to find our new "normal" very soon.  But that will have to wait as this week we are looking forward to visiting with friends and family that are coming to visit :)!

Fresh {Washington State Newborn Photographer}

Every time I look a new little person that is just days old the first thing that comes to my mind is how innocent, pure, and fresh they are.  They have a whole life before them yet to discover, to make mistakes, and find true happiness.

As a parent it also a time for us to start fresh.  Whether we are first time parents or this is our fifth go round we have a fresh start with our new addition, and that is an incredible feeling.

There are so many things that I would gladly do over given a fresh start with my two angels.  Things that I would do exactly the same and things I would do dramatically differently.  I guess in away we get to start over fresh each morning, and I for one embrrass that chance to improve my children's lives in everyway that I can.  Some days are easier than others, yet I am just grateful for the opportunity for everyday that I have with them.

Who knows, maybe someday I will have the courage to start fresh with a new little one of my own, or maybe not, meanwhile I will be grateful for the beautiful boys that I have.

You all should be very familiar with this family by now.  This is their third session in less than three months, and here are the fruits of their labor (Ha, 'labor' do you see how I did that little play on words :), if you didn't get it call me and I will explain it in more detail :).

Please meet, Jace less than a week old, and fresh and perfect in everyway.

PS- I may not post for a few weeks as the big move to Bainbridge Island is in less than one week.  I will post as soon as we are settled.  Also I will not have email access starting this Wednesday until hopefully by Monday the 21st.

Until then my friends......

Until then my friends......
