{D} Family

 Meet the "D" Family...

The mom is a cousin of mine...my grandma and her grandpa were brother and sister...not sure if we are 3rd cousins or what!?!

 The dad is one of my husband's best friends!

 Can you believe this hair?!

 It was a cold, windy day but we got some good shots!

 T is definitely a daddy's girl!

 And R just loves her momma!

Thanks for letting me take your wonderful family pictures!

Baby {L}-Maternity

 I completely forgot about these pictures until today.  They should really be before the birth and newborn pictures, but this will do!  My best friend Ky's maternity pictures-enjoy!

Giving baby sister kisses!

 Big sister love!

 A very happy family!

 Love this picture with all the feet!

 A family of 4 will soon become 5!

I love maternity pictures in black and white!

Baby {L}-Newborn

This is Baby "L".  I got to be her first official photographer on the day she was born and then again when I took these pictures 6 days later on her due date.  Isn't she precious?!

 I could just quit my job and hold her all day!

 I hope that when I am lucky enough to have a baby of my own, she is this beautiful!

 I love baby feet and can't get enough of hers!

 She pretty much slept through the whole photo shoot...up until the very end!

 There are her open eyes..."hello everyone!"

Thanks again best friend for letting me capture all the important moments of your family!

Baby {L}-Birth Photos

On Thursday, April 26th 2012

 At 2:07 pm

 Baby "L" was born!

 Weighing in at 7 pounds, .06 ounces

 And measuring 19 inches long

 Big brother "C" getting to see her for the first time outside of mommy's tummy!

 Big sister "J" and big brother "C" love her already!

 And Daddy is totally smitten and in love!

 Welcome to the world little miss...I love you already!

This was a first for me in so many ways.  It was the first time I had the opportunity and the honor to take birth photos for someone.  It was also the first time I had ever witnessed a birth.  I am so thankful that my best friend Ky gave me this opportunity.  I was laughing, crying and trying to get as many pictures as I could!  It was an amazing experience and she is so thankful for the photos that I was able to capture for her!  I can't wait to do it again!

Tulip Festival 2012

 Have you ever been to The Tulip Festival in La Conner, Washington?  If not, I suggest you put it on your bucket list!

I went for the first time 5 years ago and loved every bit of it.  My friend used to be the assistant director of the festival so I really got to see some unique things.  This year, my husband got to experience it with me and I think he thought it was pretty neat too!

 Tulips bloom whenever they feel like it.  You can't really tell them when you would like the festival to happen, so it goes throughout the month of April.  This year, we were there in the middle of April and got a great show.  The next week there were still tulips blooming!

 I am sure you can see why I think everyone should experience it just once-there is so much beauty to be seen!

 This was only one field.  There are a lot more than this.  There are daffodils too, but they are earlier than the tulips.

I highly recommend making a tript o Washington state to see this beautiful place!
