Fall Family Portraits! June Bug Photography

October 27, 2014

Fall is here! I spent Sunday morning at my favorite park for photos, Bothell Landing. The leaves are *just* starting to turn, and the fog was thick. It was such a beautiful morning, and I had so much fun with these two families!

You might recognize these guys, I just LOVE when I get to work with them! The kiddos are full of energy (and HUGS, which is the BEST), and Mom and Dad are both awesome.

The second session was with this adorable 2 year old! She was on the look out to keep us all safe, and was sure to let us know to “be careful”, and ask “what happened?” anytime we might be in danger. She was so sweet, and definitely loved to snuggle up with mom and dad! Bothell Landing was the perfect spot for this little one to explore, and we had fun finding ducks, squirrels in the garbage can, and potential nightmare inducing mushrooms!

Cake Smash! First Birthday Photo session by June Bug photography

October 10, 2014

This family is AWESOME. The love they have for each other was so evident. Mom went all out to celebrate this little guy’s first birthday, and we all had SOOO much fun during out session. Mom brought along balloons, gifts, party poppers, a homemade cake and so much more. Big sister came along to celebrate her little brother’s birthday, and she was just so sweet with him. Birthday boy was loving all the excitement, and so was I!

It was so fun to see Mom and Dad gazing at their kiddos, and I hope I successfully captured the joy this family brought to the studio. Have I mentioned that I love my job?

The only glitch with the session was that mom’s phone went missing. Not sure if it is lost in the depths of my studio, or somewhere in her car (or, maybe was set on TOP of the car on the way out?!) MOM: I promise to keep looking!!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

First Birthday Photo Session. June Bug Photography, Snohomish Family Photography.

October 6, 2014

I had a fun (and busy!) Saturday session. Brothers came to celebrate little bro’s 1st Birthday. I have had A LOT of first birthday sessions lately, it is such a fun age.

The boys were good sports (including dad) despite the fact that taking pictures wasn’t their top choice for a Saturday. I love the energy that these guys have, and it was so fun to see there little personalities emerge in such a short time with them. Mom is gorgeous, and had a ton of really great ideas for the session.

One Year Session! Family photography, June Bug Photography.

October 3, 2014

My morning started off rough today. My husband has been out of town for a week, and my son decided that he wanted NOTHING to do with preschool this morning. I *finally* convinced him to stay, but only after he darted into the parking lot and was nearly hit by a car. Needless to say, I was in tears by 9:30.

Then, I met this little gem, and my day was instantly better! This sweetie is ONE, and she is just so sweet. She took a little bit before feeling comfortable letting go of mom, but we embraced it. She found some pearls, and her day was made. We even had time to fit in a few pictures with the family dog, Lucy. Mom, baby, and pup were all so much fun.

Newborn Photo Sessions! June Bug photography, Snohomish.

October 1, 2014

I love love love getting to snuggle newborns on a regular basis. My job is awesome. I had TWO newborn sessions this past Sunday.

My first session was with a little girl who is *almost* 2 weeks old. She is sooo tiny, under 7 lbs and so sweet, relaxed and chill. Big brother got to join us for a few photos, and was REALLY interested in sister’s headband. I caught a few candids of him *almost* snapping it in her face. Luckily mom & dad were an arms length away and saved the day. Big bro had the best smile. Mom & Dad clearly have this whole parenthood thing down, as they didn’t break a sweat and were super calm and relaxed the whole time. These guys made my job EASY!!

My second session was with a brand new baby, only two days old! Mom and dad were amazingly chill, especially considering they were only on day two of being new parents!! I could tell that mom was still hurting, but she was such a trooper. It was so much fun to see how smitten these two are with their new little guy. Little Mr. had NO interest in being posed, and just wanted to be snuggly with mama…so that’s what we did (after getting a few great swaddle shots!)

Fur babies! Meet Ranger. Family photography.

September 9, 2014

Here at June Bug Photography, we understand that your pup (or cat, or horse…) is part of your family too! I had a quick photo session with this handsome chap, Ranger. He is an energetic, sweet, pug who has a lot of love to share!! This little guy was rescued from a breeder who had plans to put down an entire litter of these brindle pugs. Anyway, he is a total doll face and I am so glad he is on this earth!!

Those of you searching for a photographer, or other professional service, thumbtack.com will match you up with potential businesses, and you will have the ability to see their ratings, profile, etc. ALL FOR FREE!!

Hops Harvest! family photographer June Bug photography

September 9, 2014

This is the first year that my hubby’s hops have produced cones, so we are pretty excited. We moved to a new house earlier this year, and the hops came with us. I think they LOVE their new location, because this is the first year (in 5 years!) that we actually have hops to harvest.

He has three different varieties (though, I couldn’t tell you what they are), and Harrison has already used some of his bounty to brew a batch of beer. I feel badly that he hasn’t had time in 6 months to brew, but it was a great weekend to get back into brewing. The sky was a beautiful, bright, blue and there was not a cloud in the sky. He recruited our 5 year old to help pluck cones off the plants, AND she helped brew too. The family that Brews together…

Back To School {mini} Sessions family photography by June Bug photography

September 8, 2014

I am loving my {mini} sessions, because I get to see a ton of familiar faces in one day! This round of {mini} sessions filled up SUPER fast, and guess what?! They were all REPEAT clients! It is so fun to see how the little ones have grown since the last session, and super cool that they remember me (and are often much more relaxed, and ready to get started right off the bat!)

We had a vintage back-to-school themed set, and we also had time to sneak a few outdoor shots too. Check out some of my favorites from the day!

A weekend of family photo sessions!

September 8, 2014

I am *just* getting caught up from labor day weekend! My family headed to Bellingham, and I brought all my photo gear along for THREE photoshoots while I was in town!

The first photo session was with my cousin, Mark, and his twin boys. These boys are just too cute, and it was so fun to play with them.

My next session was with my Aunt Tammy, Uncle Craig, and cousins Sam and Alex. We did a super fast photo session on campus at Western.

Finally, I got to meet a super chill and fun family to do a family session at Hovander Homestead. Best. Place. EVER!

Here are a few highlights from the weekend:
