Whenever I pause to reflect back on past events, I'm always in awe of God's perfect timing. I booked tickets to Seattle (my hometown) months earlier, and I later learned that my dear friends, Alison and Mark, were going to have a baby around the same time I'd be in Seattle! Who knew that baby Zachariah was going to make his debut on July 6th (a day after his expected due date) AND while I'd be in town?

We started out by photographing some beautiful portraits of Alison holding baby Zachariah. I had Alison stand next to the window (I'm a huge fan of natural, window light!) because I wanted to use the soft light that was organically coming from the window. I thought it would be meaningful to capture the tenderness and intimate connection between mother and child during the first few weeks of a baby's life. We captured a few portraits of Mark and Zachariah later in the shoot, too, to also illustrate the connection between father and son. I want parents to be able to remember the joy of holding their babies because they're only little for so long!

We also captured candids of the two older brothers and the interaction they were having with Mark, their dad. They were eating popcorn, and Mark was balancing Ty beanie babies on their heads! It was so funny, and their giggles and smiles were priceless. We captured additional portraits of the whole family inside and outside their home, and it was perfect in every way! Baby Zachariah, you are so loved by your mommy, daddy, and older brothers :)

To capture the wonderful gift of family is one of the greatest honors and joys I have, and I'm truly blessed to do what I love to do! Enjoy the photos.

I'm so excited to share with ya'll these adorable photos of the Jimenez family!! Our friend Cylie (pronounced as kai-lee in case you're wondering!) was one of the first people we met at church, and was so warm and welcoming! I was honored when she asked me to document family photos of them in their beautiful new home.

Most of the images were captured in the bedroom, and the lighting was perfect! Baby Elliana was amazing and kept curiously looking at my camera when we started - it was so cute! Her big brother Eliasyn was super sweet and silly, and has such a charming little smile!! Take a look yourself :)

What made everything more special was the connection they had with each other - I believe that is what makes a photo beautiful and meaningful. As a family photographer, I'm always thinking how to highlight your story as a family. I love documenting the connection and emotion, and every smile and every giggle is beautiful and worth capturing. Documenting these fleeting moments are worth everything. Enjoy!

Ready for some CUTE baby photos?! :) Today we are featuring baby Aiden and his 100th Day Birthday! In Korean culture, the 100th day after a child’s birth is a significant milestone, and I had the honor to take photos of this special time. We started the session by taking some photos of him sleeping/waking-up, and then being carried by his mom and dad. Next we had the grandparents hold him, and he got incredibly excited when his grandma picked him up! It was a priceless moment :) Scroll below to see the sweet giggles they had together!
