What a wonderful gift…if I do say so myself :) {Snoqualmie, WA}

Some of my favorite clients gifted their friends a session.  I couldn’t think of a better gift than this.  I wish my coworkers would have chipped in when I was preggo w/ my first son and pre-purchased a session for me.  At the time my son was born, I didn’t know how important that moment would be and how it would change everything.  Not knowing if the recipients would appreciate their gift, I called to make sure they used the session.  They did and were thrilled.  Of course, I was thrilled when I got to their house and met Miss A and she was already the perfect lady.   Have I told you I LOVE attentive, daddies…I do.  I love to see it!!

Newborns are sooo funny.  They already have their definite likes, dislikes and personalities.  Miss A was very alert, pretty mellow and super strong.  At one point I caught her w/ her head up.  Her mom being beautiful didn’t hurt either :)

Of course one of my fav pics was the one with grandma, mom and new lil A.  I teared up when I saw the tears in the new grandmas eyes as well.  It’s really at these times that you realize how important these memories are and how much I love this job!!

C And J…waiting for the lil one{Renton, WA}

I love this couple.  Miss C helped me with my little girls when I was teetering on exhaustion and insanity.  Twins are wonderful, but very hard when they don’t sleep, throw up everything they eat and cry constantly (my girls both had acid reflux the better part of their first year).  I met Miss C through my church and it was such a wonderful experience.  Miss C, married Mr. J and now they are waiting for their little C.  That last sentence feels so children’s storybook like…ha ha.    Anyways, Miss C was sooo excited to share her pregnancy with me and has admitted that she thinks my girls have prepared her for ANYTHING…I have to agree.  They are both like family…in fact their crazy dog is someone that we found just left in an Alley behind the local Goodwill and is the sweetest dog ever!!  I included both animal family members because they are waiting too!!!  We love you!!

Our Girls are growing up….Kirkland, WA

Our little ones are getting older. A was with grandma, pa and Nona so we headed out on a trip for fish and chips. We took the dogs with us and took them to a park in Kirkland. It was sooo windy at the park that there was a guy on a surfboard with a sail. He actually caught air. If it were just me and J I would have sat and took pics of him, but as it was, 2 – 2.5 year olds were not going to sit still in a park and not be happy unless moving in 40 some degree weather.
So if you’ve read this far, here are a couple of snaps I got that day.
Moms, a new years resolution should be to keep that camera in the car. These simple moments really do make up your life and you’ll be glad to have these snaps later! :)
