I would call her sassy pants, but she "doesn't even have on pants!" You can't even imagine the personality bottled up in this tiny three year old body.

Gold Sequin Backdrop | Charleston Child Photographer
Sometimes when I'm walking around the store, I'll see something that just *might* be a really awesome backdrop. I kept circling back to this gold sequin fabric and finally said "why not?!?" Luckily I have a little guy at home who will stand on a box (that just happens to be in front of my gold background). I am thrilled with this new backdrop and can't wait to use it for cake smashes!
Simplicity | Bremerton Newborn Photographer
During the Newborn Retreat, a guest photographer spoke on natural newborn photography. I gasped and ran to show my husband. It was so simple yet took my breath away.
While I had already started taking steps to strip down my newborn sessions, I am so excited to embrace this mindset and simply my work!
Oh, and can we talk about this boy's hair?

Your Christmas Picture Checklist
If you're anything like me, you've been thinking about Christmas for weeks. There is always so much going on and I don't want to get to the end of the day and realize I didn't get any of the pictures that are living in my head. So, I made a list of pictures I know I want to get and I thought I would share it with you. The more organized you are, the less time you'll have to spend taking pictures and the more time you can spend enjoying the day!

Port Gamble Family Session | Silverdale Family Photographer
Family Session in Port Gamble, WA | Bremerton Family Photographer
It was the most perfect fall day in Port Gamble, WA. The trees were orange, the sky was light blue and the sidewalk was speckled with fallen leaves. I started photographing this sweet family when they were anxiously awaiting their little boy. It's been so fun to watch them blossom into parents and photograph this season of life. Guys, they make parenthood look pretty darn easy!
