It's a Seussical Birthday! Hunter turns 1 - Portland, OR

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is Youer than You."

- Dr. Seuss, Happy Birthday to You!

This little guy right here. This happy face, sweet personality, and his awesome mama. I've had the pleasure of photographing Hunter since he was 4 months old- I cannot believe (and I know his mama feels it more!) that he is a whole year old already! Oh, how the time flies!

Shannon is such an amazing mom- she has two older boys as well, one of which (her oldest) is my half-brother (he just turned 16!). I'm so in awe of how well she has raised her boys, and I hope Hunter realizes how lucky he is to have her as a mom.

Everything but the red wagon was brought by Hunter's mom, she had it all planned out (we even did some shots for Hunter's daddy for Father's Day, but you'll have to wait for those!). She makes my job easy, and Hunter was in such a good mood this day! We were shocked at how awesome he did, but so, so happy!

Happy Birthday Hunter! I have loved watching and documenting you during your first year of life.

Mommy & Me Mini Session - Mukilteo, WA

I don't do mini sessions very often, but they have a tendency to turn out some of my FAVORITE images!

Take this Mommy & Me Mini Session I did with Elizabeth and her daughter, Mia, back in the beginning of April. SO much cuteness! Even though Mia decided to be camera shy, and pretend she wasn't a mama's girl this day, we tickled and tricked some very sweet smiles from this cutie!

I loved all the bright colors that Elizabeth & Mia wore!

I don't know why, but I love this last one in Black & White - it's like a whispered story!

Mommy & Me Mini Sessions - Portland, OR

Having family in Portland, OR, and having lived there for 19 years of my life, I have a lot of clients down there! So to make the 6 hour round-trip drive "worth it", I like to hold mini session marathons a couple times a year. This year's first one was in celebration of Mother's Day, so a month before I went down and met with three amazing moms and their "little" ones (two of which are returning clients!).

First up we have Shannon and Hunter - if you've been following me for any length of time, you'll recognized these faces! I love these two so much, and even though Hunter decided to be a little stinker, his mom and I have a pretty good routine down for getting good pictures of him, hehe. Since her older two boys are not having the whole "picture" thing, Hunter is fated to be in front of the camera a LOT while he's little. (Stay tuned for his 1 year session blog post!)

Next up we have Jeanne and her not-so-little-anymore daughter Grace. I was so glad that these two got booked at the last minute (literally, the night before!), since Grace is going to be a teenager soon! We had a lot of fun, there was a lot of laughter, and (hopefully) some great memories for Jeanne and Grace to have when the teenage years make things rough sometimes (growing up can suck!).

Last but not least! Breona and Gia (SO excited to see these two again!) showed up with so so many adorable outfits for Gia! After we narrowed it down, we not only grabbed some adorable shots of her with her sweet mama, but we were able to get some magical shots of Gia & Hunter together (Breona and Shannon book together for a reason! Hehe). Enjoy!

Just look at these two cuties right here! Goodness:

I'm a Big Brother - Mukilteo, WA Maternity Session

I totally believe that your business reflects you as a person. I've never been so happy, or had more awesome clients, than when I am happy with myself. A little life lesson for you before I dive into the wonderful maternity session I had with Jessie and her family.

Okay, again, I'M SO BEHIND on blogging. All these babies are already BORN. But they are healthy, and that's the important thing, so I'll just go and show you the gorgeous images from this happy, growing family's session!

Jessie was a gem to work with! She had so much excitement for the session, we had a pretty awesome day for weather, and her growing family was just so stinkin' cute!

I mean really, can you get ANY cuter?! So much love!

He's pretty excited to be a big brother - that's his favorite book, obviously :) So sweet!

Perfection. These two are seriously way too amazing.

I seriously want this one to be turned into a giant canvas. Such a gorgeous mother, in such a beautiful setting!

Oh, and she did her own hair. Crazy talented!

And yes, it's a GIRL! Congrats to Jon and Jessie, and big brother Eli <3
