I am IN LOVE with this session.
Partially because I’m in love with this little “gem cake”. partially because I love this little family. mostly because I adore my good friend, L. Gemma is Lacie and Jeremy’s first born and she is just perfection. She is officially the first newborn I have not had to photoshop. not.one.bit. Amazing!
Those cheeks just melt my heart–sorry in advance Gem, I plan on squeezing those cheeks for life ;)
xo Hansens!

I am terribly in love with the finished gallery for Anna and Brian’s wedding. It was a serious undertaking with over 800 images but SO WORTH the time and effort.
Brandon and I had such an amazing time capturing their Big Day and getting to know their families. The weather held up for us and was stunning (thank you Washington!) and the ceremony was flawless. I feel like I should say that, Yes…I am aware that there are a large number of black and white images in the post below. I can’t help myself. Anna was such a classically beautiful bride. I really think the black and white images show the raw joy of Brian and her expressions. I know she thinks Koston (little man with the great smiles) stole the show but I think the looks on both of their faces did. You didn’t need to be around them long to see it- utter joy, love and companionship.
I had to include a shot of Anna’s Grandpa shaking down the dance floor- that guy can move!
Warm congratulations you newlywed lovebirds. It was a really beautiful day.

I had such a good time working with spring babies Gemma and her new parents, Lacie and Jeremy & Finn and his new parents, Danielle and Dane today. Back to back shoots- I’m a lucky lady!
I’ll have previews soon, for now enjoy these behind the scenes from Gemma’s shoot.

I am SO head.over.heels with how this maternity shoot for Danielle and Dane came together. There is so much love in these photos they are just bursting at the seams!
When I work with couples I watch how they interact and move around each other. My goal is to work within their natural movements so the poses don’t look too forced. I love that these two couldn’t be in a pose together without a touch or a smooch. The feeling of their admiration and desire for each other is so strong in these photos and inevitably what I believe a maternity shoot should be about….celebrating your love, this incredible time in your life and the anticipation of growing your family.
I can’t wait to meet baby boy in June!

Miss Brooklyn’s Newborn session is up and as cute as ever. Can’t wait for our next session- there will be a pink tutu involved.
oh yes, yes there will.
**tootsies** :)
and on that note…..
until next time friends :)
I had such a good time meeting Danielle and Dane today for their maternity session. Baby Boy Anderson is due in June. Can’t wait to do his newborn session with this wonderful couple as they become a little family.
Here’s your preview :)
I had so much fun working with Brooklyn and her Mommy, Janae at her first.ever photo shoot. She’s an absolute doll.
I can’t wait to post all of these! Here’s a little preview….

I have been so lucky to be along for the ride through Janae’s pregnancy – from helping her surprise their families with the announcement that they were having a girl, to rushed maternity photos and now Baby B’s newborn session. Well her first session that is…this little Princess is already a 4lb.2oz Diva who deserves two photo sessions ;) Janae went on bed rest early and was monitored weekly because they knew they’d have to deliver quickly (which explains the rush maternity session :). She wanted pictures of Brooklyn soon after birth so we did a quick-mini session in the Evergreen NICU.
This session had a steep learning curve for me, not only was I battling terrible low lighting and color casts but we also couldn’t do much moving around or posing with Brooklyn because Premies are supposed to be stress-free and snuggled up in the NICU. We made the best of it and got some sweet images to capture this beautiful time for these new parents.
Can’t wait to do Brooklyn’s Newborn Session: Part 2 in a couple short weeks.
Grow Baby B grow! ;)
and just because I think this one is hilarious…. :)
This was my first destination shoot and Miami treated me very well! I had such a good time working with 5 day old Grace and her parents, Scott and Ashli. I definitely learned that I can put together a newborn set-up in a pinch. This one came together fairly seamlessly (and someday….I’ll divulge what I used ;). This new little family is just perfection- I loved watching these two with their new “little one”.
priceless. :)
