Jovi {6 months old}

This little lady is one of my favorites. She is the youngest daughter of our sweet friends who are like family to us. I got to take her newborn photos (see them here), and I just love seeing how she has grown in six months! Say hello to Jovi! 

Milan Grace {10 days new} - lifestyle newborn session

Welcome to the world, Milan "Mila" Grace! 

April 18, 2018        7:24am

6 pounds 13 ounces          19 inches

"for this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him." 

-1 Samuel 1:27

Sweet Mila was born via c-section exactly 1 year, 1 week, and 1 day after her baby brother passed away unexpectedly at 12 weeks gestation. She is this family's "rainbow baby" - hope after a storm, life after tragedy, and a promise of joy amidst sadness. After losing baby brother, rainbows seemed to follow mom and dad, giving them hope in God's provision and love. On the day Mila was born, a double rainbow even appeared over the hospital!! As was the case for her big sister Avery, this little girl has been so anticipated. Her name, Milan (Mila for short), honors her daddy's Italian roots, and just like the beautiful Italian city, sweet Milan is a beautiful baby girl. I am so honored to have captured some precious moments of her first few weeks in this world, and can't wait to see her grow!! 

 

 

Emmett {18 months}

I have been experimenting with a solid black background for head shots and I like the emotion it gives. It brings a more serious tone to images, plays on the shadows in kids' faces, and just brings a different feel that enhances the details of their sweet little faces. This sweet little face is one of my favorites, and although he's at a very wiggly age, 3 minutes in front of the camera was enough to get a few images that I will cherish forever as his mama.

Joshua {One Year Old}

It has been raining nonstop here in the PNW for the last few weeks (or months, let's be honest), so since we couldn't catch a break with the weather, we improvised and decided to set up a little in-home studio for this little guy's one year photos...and it was so fun and different! This little guy has grown up so quickly! I took his newborn photos last year (click here to see them), and his mama went with the baby milestone package so we wouldn't miss a thing! You can see his 6 month photos here, and his 9 month photos here. He is such a cutie, and has so much personality! I love this age...so many new discoveries and fresh talents.

Ryen is FOUR! {yearly milestone photos}

This is our little girl. She has 3 brothers, so she's pretty special. And tough. She has always been such a sweet soul from day one... quick to apologize, quick to forgive, full of giggles, and always has a hug ready. I can't believe she is now 4, but as always, time won't stop no matter how hard I try. Four looks good on her, and I can't wait to see what this year holds for her!
