Fabulous Baby Boy! ~ Silverdale Newborn Photographer

I was so glad that I was able to work my schedule around to meet this little bundle when he was just 3 weeks.  He had his own plans about the session, and I’m so glad he wanted to show off his beautiful eyes!   Thank you, family, for allowing me to spotlight your precious family for you; it was a true honor.

We love the photos. It was great working with you.

PS – As soon as you left the little stinker fell fast asleep, on his tummy with his hands tucked under his chin.

Winning Image from International Professional Photographer’s Network (YAY, I won!)

You may recognize the following image from a previous post….my new favorite image.  Being such, I entered it into a monthly image contest on the prestigious IPPN, or International Professional Photographer’s Network.   IPPN is a private network of professional photographers from around the globe that I am proud to be a part of.  Each month they hold an image competition, in which some of the best photographers in the UK and around the world enter their work, along with EXIF data, to compete for gold, silver or bronze wins.  An anonymous panel of well-qualified judges vote on the images.  The level of competition is quite high.

Imagine my great delight when my new favorite image won a GOLD MEDAL for the September image competition!!  I could not be more pleased and proud.  Please view mine and the other (fabulous!) winning images for the month on the IPPN homepage

Thank you for the great honor, IPPN!!!

High School Senior: Kari! ~Bremerton Portrait Photographer~

Athlete, Aunt, Friend, Part of  Homecoming Court….I could go on and on.   So proud of you, Kari!!  Your kindness and generosity comes through in your smiling face and your gorgeous photos.  Can’t wait to see which roads you take after your senior year this year!  Here’s a little peek at the fun we had yesterday.  (I know -  Yesterday!  Do you like how I’m getting caught up?!)

Just One More….~Kitsap Newborn Photographer~

I just had to post one more of this sweet little girl.

Have a wonderful day!

Oh My Clara!! ~Washington Newborn Photographer

I could have played with this little girl all day!!  Well, I have to say I had more fun because it was also playing with my dear, life-long friend –thanks, L.!!    I get so excited every time a new little one enters her family, and they all couldn’t rate any higher on the cuteness scale!     Baby Clara epitomizes the cute baby, I think.  You can make up your own mind….
