Waiting for baby...

While the rest of us are just waiting for spring here in the Northwest, this family is waiting for their spring baby.  You would think that the arboretum in the second weekend of April would have blossoms and fresh spring green everywhere.  Well, after this winter, I shouldn't have been surprised that we were in coats and that the only green came from the evergreens and the moss.  We endured the cold and got some great shots of this beautiful mom to be.  Can't wait to meet their little girl next month!

Waiting for Spring with an Awesome Family | Maple Valley Family Photographer

The winter her in Western Washington seems to be going on forever.  We were lucky enough that it was relatively warm a couple of weeks ago for our session.  It was cloudy with a few sun peeks, the trees were still bare, but it wasn't raining and that has been rare lately.  I met with this gorgeous family along the Cedar River, a favorite place of mine.  These guys were so great...  and the 4 year old...  with those eyes and just his overwhelming cuteness... It was just too much!  Not that there was any shortage of cuteness going around.  The baby girl stole the show with all of her smiles...  and a little bark eating.  Both of these guys are so lucky to have a big brother who is truly awesome with them.  Great family!  Too bad we missed the beautiful blossoms.

A Spring Senior shoot | Maple Valley Senior Photographer

I love high school seniors.  It is such a exciting time of life.  It is the perfect balance of ends and beginnings.  They are celebrating the completion of a stage of life while there is so much excitment and anticipation over the next stage.  It is also so intriguing to talk to the parents of senior.  They seem to be so torn between pride and excitment for their kids, but struggle with a little bit of sadness that it has all gone by too quickly.   Spring senior sessions are fun because that anticipation is building and they are so close to their goal.  This session was fun!  Daniel was awesome.  Despite many signs of spring the river park still made a great backdrop.  I loved getting a chance to incorporate a trumpet and a mossy tree in the same shot.  What is the thing that you think makes your Senior Year of High School such an exciting time?

An overdue blogpost of an adorable baby boy| Maple Valley Newborn Photographer

We have been working so hard to get our house ready to go on the market and March was full of activities for my older kids and birthdays for my younger kids.  I had so much going on that I have gotten so behind.  This little guy has one of the best big sisters ever!  It was so adorable to see how much she LOVES her baby brother.  He was such a great sleeper for me too!
