Rygol Family and Newborn:: Teaser!

Today I headed out to Jenna & Matt's house for a family and newborn session! Baby Tanner was born 5 weeks ago and he is such a cutie! It was fun to see the boys interact with their new baby brother!

Jacob Jones:: Newborn

It's always fun to see the baby's nursery, it shows the parents personalities and it's always fun to see the differnet ideast that parents come up with.

The image below is one of the favorite images of new parents! I started doing it a few months ago and now I guess it's a signature image of mine as I seem to do it with every newborn session!

I love taking photos of the feet and hands, because in just a few months they change so much it's always fun to be able to reflect on their little hands and feet!

The funny thing is Jacob was starting to get a little fuzzy so I had Sabrina hold him and I was focusing on his hands and this was the last picture and I think Jacob is saying "peace"

Sabrina and Josh you both have a beautiful little boy and i'm sure in just a few more weeks I will be doing more pictures of Jacob! Enjoy the time you have with him!

Jacob Jones: Newborn:: Teaser!

Meet Mr. Jacob Jones.. Jacob is my twin sister's son! He is such a cute little bundle of joy! I fall in love everytime I do a newborn session ( it's one of my favorite photo sessions to do...) here is just the teaser the rest to shortly follow!

I always do my newborn sessions in front of big windows or sliding glass doors. My sister had been telling me that Jacob doesn't open his eyes much... I was able to capture Jacob just looking outside. I always try to have the newborn session take place inside the child's home. That is the place where the newborn feels safe and is comfortable with the surroundings.

There is nothing more satisifying (especially as a mother) then watching a newborn sleep... you can't help but to feel peaceful inside.

As a Photographer it's my job is to observe and to document through photos the events currently unfolding. I LOVE doing photos of the newborns feet. They will change so quickly and having a picture of their tiny feet is always fun to go back and look to see how much they have changed.

Alright there will be LOTS more images of Jacob to follow!

Jessica & Jon Freeman: Newborn

As you have all seen Jessica in the past she has been a long time client! I did her senior portaits many years ago and then I was given the opportunity to do her Engagement portaits and now I was very excited to be able to do her newborn portraits of her and Jon's daughter!



Look at those beautiful eyes! She just melts your heart.





Who has ever said it's hard to understand a baby since they can't speak!





She gets an instant smile as soon as she hears mom's voice! The hat that she is wearing was Jessica's hat when she was a baby! Jessica's mom was able to attend the photo session and to see grandma's proud smile was awesome!







We had her wrapped up in a blanket and she was trying so hard to get her hands free and the picture below was as soon as was able to wiggle both hands free!







The picture below is for her daddy Jon who is currently deployed with the army and Jessica was able to find this shirt online! Jon hurry home safely your baby girl is such a cutie!

You can just see the look in her eyes knowing that everything is fine since mommy is holding her.

Thank you Jessica for letting me capture this special time for you. You are a wonderful mom and I know there is many happy years for you in years to come! Can't wait for Jon to come home and then we will be shooting a entire family portraits!

Stay tune for rest of the images!

Benjamin Byrd: 3 month session

Benjamin Byrd is the happiest baby and was a blast to photograph. I can't believe how fast they grow and it is funny to see some of the faces the little babies make while you stand in front of them with a huge camera! Benjamin doesn't seem to mind while he thinks it's funny to make sure he laughs at you while you are changing the angle your shooting from. This session was a ton of fun while a little sad. The Byrd family will be moving in the next few months to Kentucky since this is where Benjamin's father Chris is from. Explains the University of Kentucky gear!. The Byrd family has been living in Puyallup since Chris has been serving in the Army while being stationed at Fort Lewis. We want to wish the Byrd family good luck on your new adventures in life and we will be sad to see you go, but we know we will be visiting the Byrd family at least every 3 months! Benjamin needs to have his photos taken! Not only will we be missing our great friends and Tyler's play date buddy,but I failed to mention that Katy does a wonderful job as a hair stylist! To order portraits of Benjamin click here!

Benjamin is just a natural model and I think these next few images are great examples!

In dad's gear from work!

This lion that was a huge hit during the photo session, Benjamin received it from his Grandma for Christmas!

One of my favorite images!

Just wait til he gets older and is on his Harley!

I love Benjamin's BIG blue eyes! Thanks so much again Katy and Chris for thinking of me to capture the special images of Benjamin. Good Luck on your new adventures in life and remember you always have a home here!
