I think it's equal parts anticipation of our little one and the wonder of the bond between mothers and children, but I'm absolutely LOVING motherhood photo sessions. It's such a great gift to give to yourself and to your children. I've talked to many friends and we all feel like we don't have enough photos of ourselves with our own moms. Just a few here and there from birthday parties and vacations, if we're lucky! There's something so magical about these to me -- the subject is so specific, tangible and deeply felt. Full family sessions are wonderful, and I highly recommend a yearly session for young families, but motherhood sessions feel unique and special. I loved watching these two interact and just spend a warm sunny evening hanging out, nothing else to do but be there together in that moment. That alone is a win in our busy daily lives! Hope you love them as much as I do.

West Seattle Winter Family Session | Alki Beach
On a clear day, Alki Beach in West Seattle has the best views of the Seattle skyline that can be found. You might recognize this setting from this dreamy maternity shoot from earlier this summer. We were fortunate to have a brisk day with sun that showed off the view in all its splendor. This sweet little family was so amazing to work with. Though she's only six months old, it's plain to see that their little girl has become the world to her parents! I smiled all afternoon behind my camera as they just simply enjoyed being together and playing by the waterfront.
