Newborn Photography session, Newborn photography Snohomish County.

December 31, 2014

This little guy was so adorable! He is a little over two weeks old, but I swear he looks MUCH older. He has a full head of hair, is super chill, and makes very intense eye contact! He even smiles. Insane. Anyway, I knew I would get along well with this family when dad (who booked the session) asked if they could bring their 15 year old dog in for the session (YES!)

I LOVE that the entire family (grandma and dog included) were able to come in for the session. It is obvious that their pup is such an important part of the family, and it is only natural that he be there for baby’s newborn session!

Big sister is 3, and was so gentle with her little brother AND their pup. I just loved to watch her snuggle with both of them.

I’m not sure how she pulls it off, but mom seemed so calm and relaxed the ENTIRE time. You would think a photo session with a newborn, a 3 year old, a dog, mom & dad, and grandma might be stressful…but it wasn’t! I had such a blast with these guys!!

Another newborn session! For this session, I brought my gear to the family’s home for a more relaxed session. Their house was decorated with a beautiful tree that made the perfect backdrop for these three sisters! Both big sisters are so sweet with their new baby sis, and were very gentle with their numerous kisses!

The big girls were super helpful, and helped me set up my newborn backdrop, and pick out our colors. We even got a chance to do so big girl only photos while baby was nursing. Mom has this whole “mommy thing” down, and was so relaxed and easygoing for the entire session. Dad was awesome with the kiddos, and kept big sisters fed, entertained, and happy! Here are just a few of my favorites from the session:

Looking to book a newborn session? I just *adore* doing newborn photography and would love to work with you. Email me today (or tomorrow, I’m not the boss of you. 🙂 I recently got in a shipment of over a dozen hand knit hats, nests, wraps, and pants. I am super excited to try them all out.

Our hot chocolate stand was a smashing success, and Santa spent the entire day in the studio. We had so much fun, and I was super excited to have so many returning families for these minis! We were totally booked, and every family except one had done a session with me before!!

I got to meet an amazing new family and see some of my very favorite families too. Love my job!!

Here are a few highlights from the day:

Guys..I love this family! I met them 6 months ago, for the littlest’s newborn session. I cannot believe how much she has grown, and I am so glad I got to work with them for some family photos! It was raining, so we snuck a few outdoor shots under cover (LOVE my covered patio!) Here are a few of my favorite images from our session

Another beautiful family with an adorable newborn! This little guy is *almost* three weeks old, but I was shocked by how engaged he is and he was so clearly making eye contact. I swear, he even smiled a real smile for dad! He has a hilariously strong startle reflex, and we got lots of pictures with his arms everywhere. Mom & dad were both awesome, and it was such a pleasure to meet them! I love the photos of baby’s brand new skin against dad’s tattooed arms.

There must be something in the air, because I have been scheduling newborn sessions like CRAZY! This little lady was wide awake for her session, and totally rocked it! Mom, Dad, Grandma & Grandpa were all so proud of this beautiful little girl. Also, Mama looks AMAZING. Like, drop-dead-gorgeous. Dad was a hoot, and had some goofy ideas for photos, which we (of course!) made happen. One of them ended up being a composite shot of dad “squatting” over our nest. Go ahead and use your imagination for that one…

Another VERY late post! Hopefully, I will get my sessions all caught up on my blog tonight.

GAH! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE newborn sessions? This session had it all! An adorable baby, a sweet big brother, and gorgeous (and fun!) parents. Mom looks amazing, and both mom & dad were so relaxed…or at least REALLY good at faking it. Despite our best efforts, we weren’t able to get baby to sleep, which means we didn’t get the snuggly, sleepy pics…but boy did she nail the awake shots! While little sis was nursing (every 10 minutes…), big brother was a total ham and a natural in front of the camera. Oh, and my son Rex has decided that big brother is his new best friend. After brother was done with his duties, he went to play with my little guy. It was so perfect!

I have a lot of catching up to do! This session was nearly a month ago, but it was SO MUCH FUN!! This little nugget was seriously, the most easygoing kiddo I have worked with to date. She braved the FREEZING cold, windy, weather for some adorable family shots…and then we hit up a coffee shop, and one of their favorite antique shops for some candid family shots. I know mom from grade school, and it was so great to see her again and meet her family. I loved that they were looking for a casual, candid session, and I just got to hang with them and capture the love, fun, and warmth they share as a family.

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Split session: Country Village & Studio. By June Bug Photography

November 19, 2014

One of the questions I always ask parents when planning a session is “What are some particular interest of each child to be photographed? What gets them talking?” Well, the response from this family was that getting their little one talking is NOT the problem! She is crazy outgoing, and was so fun, silly, and beautiful!

We met at Country Village in the morning, and it was FREEZING. We cut our outdoor part a bit short, mostly because little miss’ teeth were chattering. We headed to the studio for the second half of the session. Mom wanted to make sure to get some belated birthday photos, and I *adore* her birthday dress. It is just gorgeous with her hair & skin tone.

This was such a beautiful, kind, and fun family. I love my job!
