Enjoying the park

I thoroughly enjoy getting to take pictures of families multiple times. See prior session here. Seeing kids grow over time is so wonderful and entertaining. Personalities begin to emerge, hair styles change, etc. Before we met at their home, this time we ventured out to a local park. Had a great time connecting again. Enjoy!

Two years

Oh man, I love that I have been able to capture images of this girl since she was just a baby. She is definitely growing up and coming in to her personality and spunk! This time I had the chance to sit in the grass, let dad take the camera for a bit, and be silly with her. It was a great time. Thanks gang! Enjoy!

Bow-tie

Looking through some images and I couldn’t help sharing. My son and his first bow-tie. sigh melts this mommas heart – so dapper.

Camping

As a family we ventured out on our first camping trip as a family of four. Lucky for us we have a wonderful friend who has a family farm and they welcomed us for this adventure. It was a great time – another family with four boys joined in on the fun so our son was in heaven. We got to feed the cows, climb hay, walk through mud and enjoy s’mores. Loved it… enjoy!

Playing in the dirt

One of the things I love about taking pictures, especially of kids, you never really know what will happen. Some kids will give you their cheesiest smile all the time, some will barely glance at you and some kids will act as though you aren’t even there. I think the last is my favorite. During one of the rare sunny days we in Seattle have enjoyed I met with this fantastic family at Discovery Park. Kids happily playing in the dirt and grass. Enjoy!

I seem to be enjoying all the little details of my kids lately. It’s amazing to see them grow and change each day. Watching them observe their world and trying to see things through their eyes is a privilege.

Family Travel

This is what I now call vacations – family travel. It is completely different than the vacations that my husband and I used to take before we had kids. The day isn’t as packed to the brim with plans, and dinners no longer last for hours. Instead there is fun mornings in hotels snuggling in king size beds with kids, seeking out coffee shops for coffee and a morning snack for the kids when they wake at 5:30am. We plan outings around naps and take extra long drives so that the little ones can get a little more sleep before we head out on an adventure. We seek out family friendly dinners, where a couple cheerios on the floor are okay, and then we enjoy carting exhausted, sleeping children from the rental car thru the hotel lobby back to our room. As parents we fall tired into bed and prepping for the next day. Our recent travels took us to San Diego. Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and Horses. Enjoying this with my kids was awesome! Enjoy…
