Week 4 of 52 (July 13-19) {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

I'm a couple days late because I've been super busy (4 sessions between Thursday and Saturday!), but this was taken on Saturday. This week I decided to include all 3 of my babies. =)

Faith and Payton {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

Aren't they adorable?? I had a great time playing with - um, I mean photographing - these 2 cuties this morning. =)

This is just a sneak peek for their parents (and Grandma)! The rest of the proofs will be done very soon.

Two Free Newborn Sessions Left!! {Whatcom County Photographer}

I posted awhile ago that I was giving away 5 free newborn and 5 free maternity sessions, and I still have a couple left! Your baby doesn't have to be here yet to reserve your free newborn session, but your due date must be no later than September 30. There are also still 4 maternity sessions left!




Here are the details from the previous post:

I'm looking for women in their 3rd trimester for indoor or outdoor maternity sessions, or anyone who can schedule a session for their newborn before the little one hits 2 weeks (the newer, the better!). As a bonus, anyone who schedules their maternity session will automatically receive a free newborn session when the little one is born (as long as the session takes place within the first 14 days of baby's birth)!

There's no obligation to buy any photos from your session(s), but if you do place an order of at least $50*, you'll receive a FREE 8x10 of your choice!

So what's the catch? All I want in exchange is a signed model release, so I can use photos from your session(s) in my portfolio. Really - that's it!

This offer is only good for the first 5 sessions scheduled, so don't delay!




*Order total must be $50 before tax.

Week 3 of 52 (July 6-12) {Whatcom County Photographer}

I actually got this week's photo done before the week was over! Yea me! :)

This is my little Connor. He'll be 3 in August and is the funniest little boy. He requested a "mohawk" for our photo session, and only wanted to do funny faces, though I got a few more serious ones from him.



I hope there are others out there who are also still going with the challenge. You (and your kids!) will appreciate this later!

New Website! {Whatcom County Photographer}

I mentioned awhile ago that I was working on a new website and it's (finally) done! It's completely different the old one, all galleries have been updated, and there's a lot of new information, etc. Please update your bookmarks/favorites and check it out!

River {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

I had a session this morning with 2 year old River, and he was just as cute and sweet as his big brother, Taysen, who I had a session with last month.

Here's a little sneak peek for his parents! The rest of the proofs will be ready soon!

Week 2 of 52 (June 29-July 5) {Whatcom County Baby Photographer}

What a busy week this was with family and friends celebrating birthdays, the 4th, etc! My photo for week 2 of the 52 week challenge was taken on Wednesday, but I'm a little late getting it posted. Here it is - me and my youngest, Ryan:

Handsome Little Man {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

Four year old Taysen was a total sweetie and tons of fun during his session. He was quite taken with my cats and playing games and had me smiling the whole time.

Week 1 of 52 (June 22 - 28) {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

It has occurred to me on more than one occasion over the last few years that I spend so much time behind the camera, that there isn't always proof that I actually exist and spend time with my kids. Unless I force the camera into my husband's hands, it's rare that I spend much time in front of the lens.

A fellow photographer friend of mine is doing a 52 week challenge and I've decided to join her. So, once a week for the next year, I will be posting at least one photo that includes me in some way, with at least one of my kids. My tripod and remote will get more use this next year than they have in the past 5 combined!

To the other parents who might read this and think "that sounds like me - always taking the pictures and not in them", I strongly encourage you to accept this challenge as well! Our children will appreciate this someday. =)

Ok, so here is my first "official" photo for the challenge. I took some with each of my kids today, but thought it fitting to use one with my firstborn for week 1. =)



And a few of the runner-ups:











And slightly more typical of my kids (and, uh... me, haha):

Nine months old! {Whatcom County Baby Photographer}

My littlest man turned 9 months on the 13th! Such a sweetie, and a mama's boy (which I love!). He wants so badly to walk that he's having a hard time learning to stand alone since his feet start moving as soon as they touch the ground. =)

Ellianna {Whatcom County Baby Photographer}

Isn't she just perfect??







Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! The rest of her proofs will be ready soon!

Wille and Joseph {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

My 10 year old twin nephews were visiting last week from Sweden, and I was thrilled to be able to borrow them for a quick session! Miss you already, boys!

Cousins {Whatcom County Child Photographer}

These two brothers (2 of my darling nephews) and their cousin were fun to work with, and all just adorable! Happy Father's Day to their dads and grandpas!

Demi {Whatcom County Photographer}

What a great way to commemorate the graduation from 8th grade to high school! This gorgeous girl and her mom, Debra, were a lot of fun to work with. Debra even became my assistant at the park holding umbrellas for both Demi and myself. :) Thank you so much for the lovely session, ladies! The rest of your proofs will be ready by Sunday, but here's a sneak peek!

Maternity and Newborns Needed! {Whatcom County Photographer}

Pregnant? Have a brand spankin' new baby? Then I want to give you a free session!
