Aston’s First Birthday

Lindsay — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:05:23 +0000

The final installment of Aston’s first year collection was a grand old time! We started with some playtime and cuddle time in his home stomping grounds, went for a stroll in the park, and ended with a birthday cupcake complete with balloons and confetti. It’s been a joy to watch him grow from a bump in mommy’s tummy to little newborn cuteness to an even cuter six month old and finally to see him celebrate his first birthday. What an honor to witness such a handsome new life blossom and thrive!

How’s that for the next installment of Aston’s first year?! Just when you thought he couldn’t get any cuter, he went and did it. I just love all the smiles and with all the wide-eyed curiosity one minute and eyes squeezed so tightly the next with cuddly intensity. What a sweet, sweet family!

Check out his bump and newborn sessions!

Isn’t that little mouth just the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?!

Carrying on a family tradition in naming him, his parents were inspired by the model name of a car. How fun is that!

I so enjoyed meeting little Aston- congratulations to Lotus and Peter! And Happy New Year to all!

Lotus + Peter | Seattle Bump Session

Look at them work it! They could totally be magazine models! I love it!

Look at that cute, cute bump!

Lotus and Peter braved the chilly Seattle afternoon with me this past weekend for a super fun bump session! I just love these images!

Being from Hawaii, they really wanted some images that said SEATTLE to their family back home so we met at the Olympic Sculpture park for some waterfront sculpture-y action. They also wanted to add some fun to the mix and since Lotus LOVES cookies (I mean, really, I couldn’t agree more!), we then made our way to Cow Chip Cookies in Pioneer Square for a yummy snack. I love the look of that shop and have always wanted to take some portraits there. Perfect!

Lotus and Peter are expecting their first lil bebe in December and I took such a liking to them when we met for our consult, I was THRILLED when they booked four sessions for their baby’s first year. I have a feeling we’ll have a grand old time together making images that will help them remember that precious first year. They are such a sweet couple and are so good to each other; I just know they will make wonderful parents too!

Baby Jamieson | Seattle Newborn Photography

It wasn’t all that long ago that I was photographing little Jamieson while still a bump in his mommy’s belly. As cute as that belly was, I have to say I think Jamieson’s cuteness trumps all. Just nine days old, he was alert and taking in everything during part of the session and sleeping sound the rest. Between new mom and dad, and grandmother who flew in just in time for his birth, Jamieson is one loved lil guy!

Ursula’s Labor Story | Seattle WA

A few years back, I took a doula course (click here for more information on what a doula is), and I was absolutely fascinated by the class discussions and lectures, a rather more grown up and less first-hand version of an interest in pregnancy than stuffing a pillow up my shirt, as mentioned in a previous post. Ursula invited me to be her photographer and doula for her second birth. It was my first time witnessing a new little life being born, and it was such a privilege to be there to support her and her family and to tell her birth story in photos. You did such a great job, Ursula; I’m so proud of you! Thank you for allowing me to share these images.

Have no worries, the following images are rated PG. :)

Welcome to the world little Jesse!

Jackie + Justin’s Baby Bump | Maternity Portrait Shoot, Seattle WA

I think women with pregnant bellies are just the cutest ever. Even though they may feel as big as a whale, they have the most beautiful glow and the best curves holding the most precious of treasures. I’ve always thought so; when I was a little girl, I’d play pregnant by stuffing a pillow up my shirt and waddle around the house. Peculiar childhood games aside, it was my privilege to hang out with Jackie and Justin for an afternoon and capture their relationship and her super cute belly before she’s able to enjoy tying her own shoes again. Congrats you two!!
