Another day down, another SWEET ADORABLE CHUNKY almost 4 month old captured in all his goodness. I had such a sweet time today with Irie (I think I’m spelling that right.) He was the happiest baby I’ve come across now in a while and just loved all the attention he was getting today. You could just see how much mom and dad loved this little guy and I don’t blame them ONE.BIT. I’ve I mentioned lately that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my job Enjoy!

ahhh…sweet lil’ Fletcher. He’s 3 months old now, well tomorrow he will be. He’s way too cute for words. First theirs the chunkiness, ahh the little baby rolls that I feel EVERY baby should have! Then, there’s his baby blues that would melt any mama’s heart. Finally, it’s his big happy grin that just makes me want to eat up up- all of him! Thanks Jen for bringing this little guy over for his regular Watch Me Grow session. I can’t leave out his adorable big sister Finley, she’s another ball full of 2 year old cuteness! 

Because all dogs are puppies at heart! I would like to introduce Miss Pearl and Bob, they have to be some of the cutest, most lovely  pups in Wenatchee! I had the pleasure of photographing Pearl and her big sister Mod and big brother Sam a little over two year agos and tragically they are no longer with this sweet family. They are more than missed but thankfully Pearl has a new playmate and Bob is just that- this dog LOVES TO PLAY!  He zigzags back and forth so fast that Pearl I swear, rolls her little (big) dog eyes and just loves it! Their owner/mama many of you know as the AMAZING and WONDERFUL Dr. C so the next time you run into her, make sure you let her know you saw her buddies on the blog!

Because they are SURE to make you smile! Mr. Collin was no exception. His sweet little brother was photographed last week and now it was little little monkeys turn. We met up at the park and some fantastic weather to play around in. He was ALL smiles and very much into the park scene. The curiosity of one year olds never gets old! C also LOVED the swings and I’m sure his lovely mama will be taking him back soon! 

It has pretty much been raining babies this past week and let’s just say that I love.love.love IT! Seriously how much better could my job get! This sweet little guy had a rougher start than most but here he is at 12 days old just rocking out through the whole session. He was such a sleepy little man and when he did decide to open his eyes it was just for a sweet moment. His big bro is such a ham! I think anyone who knows this lil’ family knows what an awesome dynamic they all are and how much love is shared between them. Thanks for hanging out today, I can’t wait to capture your sweetness again! 

Babies, babies everywhere. Oh how it makes me so happy. If I weren’t already expecting, I most likely would want to be right away after spending some time with Little Miss Ava. She was just a doll.

She had the most gorgeous nursery with some of the cutest little outfits. Mom and Dad will have so much fun taking her about and about and showing her off. Speaking of Dad, I think she already has him wrapped around her tiny little finger.

I will be sharing another sweet little newborn in the next few days, but as a reminder to anyone who may  be thinking of having newborn photos taken the best time to do so is within the first 2 weeks of life. There certainly are exceptions and we can make any time work but most of the time we get a lot more of those “sleepy, curled-up” baby shots earlier on.

Sssshhhh…….don’t wake the baby. More of sweet Mr. P coming later this week.

My photo friends (aka clients) are always asking my opinion in regards to What To Wear for their sessions. Or more specifically, what should their kiddos wear. I LOVE LOVE LOVE  baby/kid styles and trends and am always on the hunt for something different and unique when it comes to dressing my own kiddos. I’m usually one to wait for a good deal but every now and then it’s totally worth it to splurge on a piece that I know will make a BEAUTIFUL photography.

SO where to I shop and where I find my inspiration??? Let’s start with INSPIRATION:

Tot Trends- a weekly FREE internet magazine. Lot’s of ideas great photos, and discount coupons.

Small Magazine

Kenzie Poo

Little Pinwheel

Where to shop (these are just my personal faves, there are soooo many places out there that sell cute, affordable kiddo clothing- it’s all about having fun while putting together an outfit)

Mini BodenMatilda Jane— For those of you who know me, this may be my ultimate fav when it comes to little girlie clothes. A few times per year they have a pretty good sale, other than that you need to use a “Trunk Keeper” to order. Email me if you interested in who I use!

Crew Cuts aka JCrew for kids!

Gap Kids — I try not to be to matchy matchy when it comes to buying items from the Gap and Old Navy but they do have some great pieces and super fun swim suits!

Posh Baby— Out of Portland so NO TAX and they have lots of fun brands!

Some of my favorite baby kid brands include the following and can be found by googling–I do this and price search to find the best deal!

Tea Collection, Zutano, Baby Lulu, Small Paul, Egg and Avacado, Pink Chicken, Glug Baby, Baby Soy

And not to post without a pic T’s raincoat was a find from Tj Max another GREAT stop for finding a deal on something super cute for your monkey!

This is the 2nd time I’ve had the privilege working with DDS Brand to shoot staff photos for the dental groups that are currently going through a rebranding process. Dr. Bethel’s office in Renton, WA was such a fun group of people who really opened up and made me feel welcome. They were up for whatever I threw at them and we ended up with a handful of images that hopefully portray their true personalities.
