Andrew | Newborn Photos | Seattle, WA

Introducing the sweet, bright-eyed Andrew! His just-as-sweet parents, Nicole and Raymond, hosted me in their Seattle home for Andrew's newborn session. I absolutely love being with families in those first days. Everything new. Completely in awe. We were lucky to have a combo of great light in a partly cloudy Seattle day, some awake time, some sleepy time, and some great family cuddles. A couple of my favorite photos are actually Raymond bouncing Andrew around the house (in the kitchen) to soothe him and one of Nicole holding her sleeping son, petting her cat, and looking lovingly into the eyes of her husband. These are the beautiful in between moments that make a family. Wishing the Loyolas a beautiful first year of life with Andrew, and a happy forever. 

Kaedence | Newborn Photos | Studio Photography in Spokane

And baby makes 7! You heard me, seven. And sweet baby Kaedence is absolutely the apple of everyone's eye (for proof see the very last photo which was completely unplanned). I'm so thankful to have photographed Amber and Josiah's maternity session here, and then got to meet their adorable new addition, as well as the rest of their family, for her newborn photos. Everyone was such troopers as I maneuvered all around in my studio room. Meanwhile, I could photograph a sleeping baby's teeny tiny toes all day long! Can't wait to see this love again for six month photos (again, yay Baby's First Year Collection!)

Baby Cora's Newborn Photos | Baby Collection | Spokane

You may remember the Hemmer family's cute fall Manito Park maternity session here. Well baby Cora was born not too long after that actually! They had a bit of a whirlwind beginning, bringing home their newborn, then displaced for over a week with no power, than finally back home, then stricken with the stomach flu. And yet so patient and kind and gracious through it all. That is why you make great parents, Matt and Casey. You will weather all storms together. Thank you for being patient and flexible with me through the power outage, thank you for still making Cora's newborn photos a priority, and thank you for allowing me to join you in Cora's first year. 

Camila | Newborn Photography | Spokane

Welcoming baby Camila! I just loved this beautiful home lifestyle newborn session - baby Camila wide eyed and alert and then dozing off to sleep as we went along, big brother running in and out sometimes as himself and sometimes as a pirate, the game on in the background, a house full of love and adoring looks for the new baby. Just sweet and simple. I'm so excited to photograph Camila throughout her first year (Baby Collection)! Enjoy.

Bennett | Newborn Photos | Spokane

Meet baby Bennett and his family. I love the way Sam and Lurel adore their kids. You can see it in their eyes, in their patience, in their smiles, in their ability to go slow and roll with it all. I love that they are excited about big families. We found each other through Facebook and referrals, which really is the heart of my business, but we clicked instantly. I am so lucky. This newborn lifestyle photo shoot took place at my in-home studio. It worked out great to have space for sister to run around, nursing breaks, changes, etc.

Lurel and Sam - congratulations again!

Westley | Newborn Photos | Spokane

This session is a first. This was the first time I shot in my home. My spare room turned in-home studio. I've decided it's perfect. The light is amazing and has yet to do me wrong! Can't wait to show you more families using this in-home setup. :)

In the meantime, here is sweet mister Westley's newborn photos. You may remember his birth photos here and maternity session here. I am beyond thankful to these three - their friendship, their love for each other and family. Westley is a sweet, sweet boy who will always be surrounded in love. These photos were taken of him only 10 days news. I can't wait to photograph his milestones in his first year (yay Baby Collection package!). Enjoy some snuggly wuggly newborn photos today!

P.S. I had to include the photo of his mom brushing his hair, not only because his hair is so cute, but because that is what calmed him down and lulled him back to sleep! lol So cute.
