Saige Mendenhall {Kennewick}

 Whenever I’m planning a newborn session with a family there are always a lot of unknowns, especially when it’s a first baby.  So when we talked about Saige’s newborn session I was hoping she would be around when I was in town at the beginning of August, little did we know she would show up almost 3 weeks early!  This perfectly sweet girl was so very alert and happy while I got to work with her and I had the best morning meeting her and her adorable family!  

Getting to do outdoor pictures for newborns in the summer is always a win and the ones we were able to capture with her are just the best!  Her mom chose simple colors for the family pictures and I absolutely recommend that because it keeps the focus on the emotions and perfection of the sweet baby!  That also allows your images to have a timeless quality that means they are just as beautiful years later.  I have always loved bright colors and a lot of my style has a wide range of color but I’m really loving neutrals lately since it tends to highlight the important pieces of the session!  Congratulations Andrew and Stacey!

Miles' Newborn Session {Kennewick}

I have known Miles' family for the last 8 or so years, but my husband has known his dad, almost his whole life and basketball was one thing that they have always loved.  When Lauren asked me to do pictures with Miles I was so excited because I have had the chance to do pictures with their other two over the last several summers and getting to meet the newest member of the Berg family only days after his birth was even better than I imagined.  He was so easy to work with and let me do pretty much anything I wanted with him.  The last photo is extra special because his big sister picked out a little friend that she wanted him to have included so of course we had to do that!

Berg Family Summer Session {Kennewick}

This family is just so adorable!  I've been able to do two shoots with them and getting to see the kids grow up has been a blast! Our two families have been friends since we were both dating but the guys have been friends, practically their whole lives. This time Aubrey was the star of the show and had the time of her life, taking me all over the beautiful gardens to explore.  Klay has the most beautiful dark eyes and once I figured out how to get him to laugh he seemed to have fun!
