Sneak Peek: Maternity Shoot with S & S

Photograph a belly with a henna mandala? YES! Thank you to S & S for a wonderful maternity photo shoot in your warm and welcoming home. I loved rearranging furniture for lighting, yoga poses and creating outfits with lovely fabrics. I am so excited for your little bundle of joy coming very very soon!  Here is a sneak peek from our shoot! What a lucky baby to have you two nurturing souls as parents!

Baby O {Baby Photography Seattle}

Yesterday I photographed Baby O at his home. Oh how I love the challenge of walking into a new client's home to create a studio on the fly. That's why I enjoy shooting on location so much more than a studio. Yet this time it was not much of a challenge! O's mom is an interior designer and I instantly fell in love with all of their decor - a perfect set for O's 9-month photo shoot. I might just have to ask O's mom & dad if I can rent out their home as a studio sometime! Did I mention the gorgeous natural night, textured blankets and fuzzy pillows? Heaven. Baby O was a sport the entire shoot, even after a little spill in the first few minutes of the shoot! Mom and dad - I'll hire you as my assistants when I rent your home - you both rocked it! Thanks for a super fun shoot. Enjoy this sneak peek!

 

Gabe the Babe at 4 months - tummy time!

You may remember Gabe the Babe from his newborn portraits (here). Kids these days... they grow up so quickly! I had a blast photographing Gabriel once again for his 4 month photo shoot - the kid is a pro - a bona fide Gerber baby. 'You want me in a basket? Sure thing!' 'You want me doing tummy time? Anytime!' 'Mom and Dad walking with me? Good times!' Whatever we asked, whichever hat we adorned him with, he just chuckled and gave us that adorable smile (and of course the occasional spit up - but that comes with the territory!). ; ) In the blink of an eye he'll be crawling and walking. Let's do this again soon Gabe!

Maternity portraits of 'A' & her belly - Seattle

When Seattle hits 50 degrees in January, it's time to take the belly photo sessions outdoors! Along with the rest of Seattle, 'A' and I caught the last couple hours of magical golden rays at Discovery Park. 'A' has some pretty tough skin, a necessary skill for parenting, as she boldly pretended she was still in Key West in her summer garb. If her mama's belly is any indicator, little 'A' is gonna be one smokin' hot baby.

Baby Matteo & Family

Baby Matteo was an absolute delight to photograph. In the warmth of his own home, he was free to be comfy in his birthday suit, feed when he was hungry & nap when sleepy. We love naps for the baby photos! All the while big sis Mia got to play with her shopping cart and toys, joining Matteo for some photos too. Beautiful photographs for a beautiful family!
