Newborn 3 weeks | Olympia newborn photographer, Centralia newborn photography, Lacey newborn photographer

This older newborn was a great little sleeper.  Look at all the adorable hats, bows and diaper covers Mom brought!

Outfit me | What to wear

The question I hear most from so many clients is, "What should we wear?", "What colors work best?", "Should we all wear the same color?",  and "Help, we've got nothing to wear!"  Trust me, it's a hard question to answer...I think it's best answered visually as I'm a visual person ;)  I'm going to start posting some what to wear inspiration boards to help get you started.  Remember, wear what you love, what looks best, and how you want to be remembered :)

Split faces | Photo link

Where do you see yourself down the line?  Not economically or in any career sense, but literally?  Canadian photographer Ulric Collette seamlessly combined halves of relative's faces, sometimes contrasting youth and maturity, sometimes male and female.  It is fascinating.  Check it out here:  http://genetic.ulriccollette.com/

Two tykes in a tub | Olympia baby photos, Tacoma baby photographer, Dupont baby photographer, Lakewood

It is always a pleasure to see return clients.  There is always the excitement in seeing how big baby or child has grown, to meet up again with the parents, and to discover fun new ways of documenting child and family.   And such was the case here on this misty morning with an absolute delightful little seven month old -- enjoy!

Sweethearts in a field | Olympia Washington engagement photographer, Tacoma

We had a lot of fun out in the fields a few weeks ago.  The sunny February day for almost magical ;)  Congratulations to this cute couple -- I look forward to their spring wedding!
