Kyri Emmaline | {Newborn Baby Portraits} | Kent, WA

May 1, 2010

Look out, world! Another cutie pie has just joined us and has already started her “modeling career” in her newborn portrait session with Kristen Buchmann Photography. :)   Baby Kyri Emmaline was just three days old when I had the honor or capturing her newborn sweetness in portraits.  I hope you enjoy gazing at Kyri’s newborn photos as much as I loved taking them. You’ll see how much big brother, Gabriel, and mommy and daddy, Eve and Scott, just love this precious new little one.

She is a little gift!

One of the sweetest things about this next portrait is that Gabriel picked out the outfit at the store himself after Kyri was born! Awwww…. (They didn’t know if she would be a boy or girl beforehand and so didn’t have much in the baby girl attire department.)

Check out Kyri’s teeny tiny newborn hands and fingers!

You gotta love her little baby bottom!

I love what a sweet, intimate, mommy daughter moment this one captures:

Scott, Eve, Gabriel, and baby Kyri, you all were were wonderful! Thank you for letting me share these special moments with you and having me capture her newborn portraits for you.

Campbell | {First Birthday Portraits!}

April 13, 2010

Hooray! Even though I haven’t kept my blogging up-to-date, I just had to share Campbell’s adorable one-year-old portraits! Can you believe she just had her first birthday? If you have been following my blog, you may remember Campbell’s other cute photo shoots. Brent & Stacey signed up for my Baby’s First Year Collection, so they have been enjoying four portrait sessions throughout the year. I’m designing photos from Cambell’s newborn portraits, four month baby portraits, nine month baby portraits, and one-year-old first birthday portraits into an adorable keepsake album. I can’t wait until it’s finished for them, and maybe I’ll even share it with all of you! We were greeted with gorgeous weather this past Saturday, which made Campbell’s first birthday portraits just that much more fun! Here are a few faves:

Dakota John | {Jumping on the Couch} Child Portraits

January 8, 2010

Okay – so normally I don’t let Dakota…or the cats…or the dog…or anyone with messy fingers or smelly socks sit on my living room couch, let along jump on it! Yet, who can resist when the whole ensemble and enthusiasm make for such a picture perfect moment! I love how the red of Dakota’s Christmas pjs contrast with the softness of the rest of the room and compliment the greens in the pillow beside him. Too perfect – and this was a totally candid moment. I love catching those types of shots on portrait shoots, especially child portrait shoots – how fun when they happen with my very own family, who is on a constant portrait shoot, so it seems!

Check out his new monogrammed Christmas pjs! We decided to start a new family tradition of opening new pjs on Christmas eve and wear them as our Christmas morning present-opening attire.

“I need to rest,” he says. Who can blame him? He got more exercise in a few minutes than many of us get in a week…okay a year! ;)

Campbell | {9 Month Old Baby Portraits}

January 2, 2010

Remember Darling Campbell from her four month baby portrait session? Well, the cutie pie and her mommy and daddy are back again to show off baby Campbell and all that she can do nowadays. This baby portrait photography session is the third out of four sessions in my Baby’s First Year package. Just look at all she can do now! She crawls at almost the speed of light – it took several takes to capture her in action…She smiles up a storm, she can even stand on her own for a few precious seconds. If I ever get a chance, I’ll post a little mini photograph movie showing her expressions when she realized she was standing on her own and mommy had let go to stand off to the side. It was quite a hoot. I could jSo precious!

Yes, I am still on maternity leave officially, but her session fell in the midst of it, giving me a fun splash back into the photo shoot action again. Aaaah what a great way to do it – full of baby portrait love and smiles. Now, without further ado, here are a few of my favorites from Campbell’s baby portrait session:

Who can resist a touch of Christmas…and mistletoe?!:

Christmas 2009 | {Family Time}

December 30, 2009

We had such a fabulous Christmas! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season too! Our Dakota, now two and a half, has been the most animated this Christmas than ever. We were all full of laughs watching him open presents and pass them out, bubbling with excitement over a new Tigger and Pooh videos…train sets…the sled he wanted from Santa – you name it!

I’ve been getting a little more in the shooting mode again as my maternity leave is slowly winding down and my brain is able to wrap around more than just baby stuff. I was even inspired when I caught my bro, Will, and his girlfriend, Mariko, snuggling on the couch. I snuck a shot of them and then we turned it all into a mini photo shoot. I even had an “assistant!” (You’ll have to check out the pics to see who it was.)

And introducing: My new assistant! We gave Dakota a camera for Christmas, and he’s ready to work it like mommy. That’s my pumpkin!

In case you didn’t know, he’s also an aspiring musician.

Troy, Kim, Cole, and Cate | {Family Portraits}

August 10, 2009

You might remember baby Cate’s newborn portraits from around a year ago (posted on my old blog.) Well, here is the whole family in a family portrait session, around a year later. Can you believe how much the cute kiddos have grown?

If you live in the Seattle area, you’ll remember our record breaking temps that far exceeded 100! Well, of course the family shoot was scheduled around that same time. Still, they were all troopers, and we captured many fun-in-the-sun family portraits that they’ll cherish for years to come! Here are some favorites from the portrait session.

This next shot makes me laugh, cause it reminds me of one of those suped up car commercials. Such a boy shot! Love it.

And not only is Cate walking but, as this portrait shows, she would rather spend her time showing her independence, walking away from everyone else. :)

I love the look on Cole’s face in this next one, and the fun part is that I didn’t even tell him to do this! What a perfect little model. :)
