Christine David Photography Yellow Circle Raining Gumballs
Experiencing Ezra’s joy as he watched images of his family’s Raining Gumball session dance across the screen, reminded me exactly why I do what I do. Each wide grin that lit up his face and giggle of laughter made me feel like a child myself!

For the very first Yellow Circle session, I spent hours crafting puffy clouds and raindrops made out of paper. I filled the studio with the sweet smell of 80 pounds of gumballs (yes, real gumballs) and found the perfect rainbow umbrellas. All to see the smiles on the kid’s faces as they entered the studio!

My goal is to make each YC session so much fun that the kids go home talking about it and are excited to return for the next session.

I believe that photo sessions should not only produce amazing images, but also happy memories!

The Yellow Circle is a year of imaginative portraiture for the children in your life!

Magic of Childhood | Fine Art Fairy Session | South King County / Eastside Child Photographer

Magic of Childhood | Fine Art Fairy Session | South King County / Eastside Child Photographer

Imagine, as a little girl, waking up everyday to these pictures. Reminding you how magical the world is, if you simply allow yourself to believe. Brie doesn’t have to imagine because these will soon be hanging on in her bedroom.

Printed on a metallic paper with a protective laminate coating results in a velvety soft appears with an elegant undertone of shimmer. Finished off perfectly by barn wood frames full of character. Absolutely breath taking in person!

One of my favorite events of the year, our Santa Experience! I love seeing my sweet little client’s eyes light up with excitement as they greet Santa. This year we added to the event. Santa read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and then the kids made ornaments while they waited for their one-on-one time with the big guy in red. I always know it was a hit when the children do not want to leave the afterwards!

Why infant formula?
A little over a year ago I read an article from our local food bank encouraging donations of formula.

“Many low-income parents feel they must resort to “formula stretching,” to keep their infants fed, even with government food assistance programs, a new study shows. Even though the majority of parents were receiving help through foods stamps and WIC, many did not have enough food to feed their families. In fact, some 65 percent of families ran out of WIC-supplied infant formula most months. And the result, in many cases, was that parents diluted or cut back on formula for their infants.” (Carroll)

While this isn’t the exact article, it covers the same information that has stuck with me. When I contacted the Maple Valley Food Bank they confirmed that formula is a very big need for them. As a parent, I simply can not imagine being in a situation where I had to water down my baby’s food. Together we can help stock their shelves.

Why small stuffed animals?
Recently I became a Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep affiliated photographer. NILMDTS provides the gift of remembrance photography for parents suffering the loss of a baby. During my regular newborn shoots, I usually capture an image of the baby with a stuffed animal. These images help remind the parents of their baby’s size. In remembrance photography, these stuffed animals will do the same, but also give the grieving parents something to take home with them. My best friend’s daughter was photographed with a cute giraffe, but had it not been for the Grandma they would not have had it. After all, most parents are not prepared for the unthinkable.

May I donate more than 1 can of formula/stuffed animal?
Absolutely! It is my hope that my super sweet clients will give 1 item per child photographed and if they are able, even more. I only ask for 1 donation per 10 minute session, but if you donate more, you will receive an additional FB image and print per item. You give more, I give more!
