Growing A Family | Seattle Maternity & Newborn Photographer

I usually like to give my maternity and newborn session their own blog post, but these two sessions were done so close together that it just feels right to put them together.  Let me explain, Veronica and Jon were expecting their third baby.  I met them three and a half years ago when they were expecting their first baby.  We met at Discovery park on a gorgeous August evening. It was just the two of them then.  When that first baby was born, I captured their sweet baby girl in the town home they lived in.  Just fifteen months later they welcomed their second baby into the world, and I was lucky enough to be invited into their new home to capture their second daughter.  Well, just a little over a year later they were about to welcome their third baby.  They had only scheduled a newborn photography session.  Veronica messages me on Facebook saying "you know, I think I might want to remember this pregnancy, my last, with my two big girls, can you squeeze me in?" Well, of course I said yes!  We had such a sweet little maternity session where the focus was on the two little girls.  Then, I got to come into their home once more to meet their third baby which was a boy! My heart is so full. I have had the privilege of watching this sweet family grow and it has been so much fun!  Our lives move fast, faster when we have little ones.  Of course we will always have memories, but photographs make them tangible.  Enjoy this families story, I know I have.

The best part of my family photography business is that I get to see families grow. I have captured this family many times and we always have a great time.  Carrie, the mama said she has a goal to be photographed at every park in Seattle.  Done!  I am up for that challenge as Seattle has an abundance of parks and beaches.  When she suggested this park I was very excited as it is very Seattle.  It has greenery, views, and beautiful architecture. Seattle is a very special place and it is so much fun to photograph families in all it's beauty.

Family photo shoots should be fun.  You should play, laugh, get dirty, and cuddle.  You should be you.  Gone are the days of sitting still in a tight and unnatural position.  Well thats true if it's me photographing your family.  I adore spending time with this family and I think this was my favorite shoot with them yet.

I’ll like you for always,
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”

I will never tire of capturing the tender time that is the first few weeks with a newborn.  So many complex emotions, so many unknowns.  Newborn photography is personal.  I never take for granted the honor to be invited into the home during this fleeting time and I try with my whole heart to capture it for all it is worth.

This was my third time capturing this family.  I often get asked if I photograph families with older kids, and the answer is yes. This family is so much fun.  These three kids are the kind of kids that make you think "I hope my kids end up this amazing."  They are funny, close to each other, respectful, and so smart.  It is always a pleasure spending time with them.  

I am dreadfully behind on sharing my sessions from 2015 but won't stop until they all have a proper post.  Enjoy!
