Here’s a few favorites from some of my latest newborn sessions. I ADORE newborn sessions and it’s so much fun when I’ve photographed the parents’ wedding as well. Mr. Oliver’s parents got married one year ago in a gorgeous wedding atop Mt. St. Helens. You can see their wedding here. Ms. Charlotte’s parents were married this past winter in this beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge.

It’s so fun to watch families grow. I’m so blessed to have people come back to me after photographing other important events in their lives.

I love what I do.

Having a baby in our family is SOOOOOO exciting. This is my husband’s cousin and their brand new little baby girl. It’s even cooler that they are our next door neighbors.  It’s not too often folks with the same last name live right by each other. 😀

She was the EASIEST little girl to photograph. So incredibly sweet and perfect.

Thanks for letting me share. 😀

An absolutely gorgeous mama to be…

(I’m TOTALLY jealous btw. I NEVER looked that good while pregnant!!!)

Can’t wait to meet your little one!!!

I LOOOOOOVVVEEEE babies (if you guys didn’t know!!!). I’m all done having babies of my own so it’s just fun to have little ones come to the studio for me to photograph. I’ve been told I’m a baby whisperer, but I think it’s only the patience I’ve learned from having three kiddos of my own.

Anyhoo, enough of my blabbity blabbing (yes, real words).

On to the photos!!!

(these are from three different sessions by the way. Figured I’d clarify that just in case!!)

I’m not even gonna lie. I was BEYOND excited at even the idea of getting flown out for a session. So excited that I didn’t even believe that anyone would actually do that for me. So yes, my most exciting adventure this year was getting flown to California to do a newborn session for my huband’s cousin’s baby (say that three times fast!!)

They are the nicest, sweetest people and I was thrilled that they even wanted me to photograph their brand new little guy. He was beyond perfect for our session. I can easily say that it was my best newborn session to date!!

We stayed down there for four days and even went to Disneyland for a day without kids (guilt? you betcha.  But SOOOOOOO much fun!!!).  Extra bonus was staying with Derrick’s aunt and uncle that we rarely see and getting to know them better.

Anyhoo, enough of my blabbering. Here’s the sweetest little guy from California….
