Newborn Portraits

Ava + Ali's Newborn Portraits!

Two moms, two babies, one love

Anne + Amy, who you might remember from such weddings as this one, and such maternity sessions as this one, have brought home their two little ones! Amy + Anne delivered within days of each other, and now Ava and Ali (Alex) are home and getting all the love and attention they could hope for! Congrats to Anne + Amy and welcome to Earth, Ali + Ava!

Welcome Home, Goldie!

Marigold’s lifestyle newborn portraits were full of playful chaos and love!

I absolutely love lifestyle family portraits, especially when it comes to newborns. There’s something beautiful and affirming about the chaos of kiddos running around and parents holding them, along with their new little sibling, that just makes me so happy! I think it’s because even when parenting is hard, the joy in the everyday is profound.

Holly + Rich and their two older kiddos, Fiona and Winnie, welcomed home their new little sister, Marigold just a few short weeks ago! Goldie is settled in at home, and is exactly as adorable as her name (which is to say very)!
Enjoy the photos of this sweet family, and welcome to Earth, Goldie!

Iris' Newborn Portraits

Iris’ newborn portraits were cozy and christmas-y!

Cara + Richard, Iris’ parents, welcomed Iris home in late December, and we had newborn portraits just after Christmas, so the house was decked out in all it’s Yuletide glory! We got to have a laid back, cozy newborn portrait session, with all three family members dressed in hand-knit sweaters. Even the dogs got to get their photos taken! (Hi Melba & Bundy!). Enjoy these sweet family moments, and welcome to the world, Iris!

Calvin's Newborn Portraits With Extended Family

Welcome to the world, Calvin!

Calvin’s newborn portraits were well-attended by his adoring fans (his parents, their parents, and his uncles on both sides) and I LOVE working extended family into baby portraits and getting to share the magic of welcoming a kiddo into the world. Enjoy these sweet family photos and help me wish Calvin a big welcome to planet Earth!

Rhys' Newborn Portraits

rHYS’ WHOLE FAMILY GOT IN ON THESE ADORABLE NEWBORN PORTRAITS

One of my favorite things ever is getting to watch the families of my wedding clients grow and getting to document their little ones along the way, so with Lily + Aaron (check out their wedding photos here) welcoming their third kiddo into the world, it was great to be able celebrate Rhys’ birth and get lots of photos of the other two kiddos, Rylan & Remy, along the way!

Rayla's Newborn Portraits at the UW Arboretum

Rayla and her mom and dad had a beautiful golden hour family photo session at the UW Arboretum

This session made me tear up as I was editing (sure, it was in part because I’m a crier, but it’s also because I’ve known Erik & Maria, Rayla’s parents, for forever, and am SO FREAKING HAPPY for them and their new little family)! The light was everything we could have hoped for as we captured these beautiful family moments too, which I’m thrilled about!

Welcome to Earth, Rayla! You couldn’t have sweeter or more wonderful parents! Enjoy these adorable family photos, friends!

Ramona's Newborn Portraits

Welcome to Earth, Ramona!

Earth is a little weird, but I think she’s gonna like it. :)

I was honored to be able to photograph Ramona’s newborn portraits on what would have been her due date. This little peanut was so sweet (which makes total sense given how great her parents are) and it was a joy to get to photograph this little family and celebrate with them!

If you’d like to see more of Erin + Matt, here are some of the fun adventures they’ve had! And here’s to many more!

Remy's Newborn Portraits

Remy and his family were too cute for words

This little kiddo was just over 3 weeks old when I arrived at his house to take photos to celebrate his arrival into the world! His sister Rylan, already being an excellent big sister, also got to show me her stuffed avocado which is just about the cutest thing ever (besides these two kiddos of course).

Congrats to Lily, Aaron, and Rylan on their new addition to the family! Welcome Remy!

Winnie + Fiona

I got to spend a lovely summer day with Winnie, Fiona, their parents, and their grandma!

Fiona’s 1 year portraits (check them out here) were the last family portraits I did before the pandemic, so it was nice to get to see Fiona 18 months older and to meet her new little sister, Winnie, for my first family portrait session post-vaccination!

Welcome to the world, Winnie!
