Thank you to all my wonderful clients, new and old, who stopped by Fountain Court Senior Living to have Halloween photos taken. Together we are blessing the Maple Valley Food Bank with baby food, diapers and diaper wipes. In addition, we are also donating money that will provide two complete Thanksgiving meals to local families in need!
Of all the things I get to share, Grow with Me posts are my absolute favorite! After spending hours snuggling with your newborn, I look forward to seeing them again. Truth is I fall in love with them. Who can blame me right?! Long after your session is over and you have your beautiful artwork, I think about you, your family and your sweet baby. So, when parents sign up for my Grow with Me plan, I do cartwheels inside because I know that I get to document these moments that fly by while you are often too tired to thoroughly enjoy them or absorb them completely.
How fast a year passes. Maybe it doesn’t feel that way when you are sleep deprived and up to your eyeballs in diapers. But I promise you, at the end of the year you’ll look back at these photos with wonder.
“Words can’t express how appreciative I am that Christine documented my baby’s first year of life. As Ezra is our last baby, I realized this was my last chance to completely immerse myself in all things baby. The past year has gone so fast, and I will forever be grateful that I took this opportunity to treat both Ezra and myself to these images that mark the bittersweet end of babyhood in our home. At every stage, they are gorgeous: from the squishy, sleepy newborn images to his first-year personality-filled cake smash. Christine is a master artist and truly a baby whisperer.” – Sara

Braxton’s big sister, was born on my birthday three years ago and this year, I was thrilled to spend my birthday taking Braxton’s newborn photos. As I snuggled him, I was overwhelmed by how much he looks like his big sister. Now normally this isn’t such a big deal, but you see in this situation it’s quite the testament to the plan that was in place for this family. Both Brynlee and Braxton join the Gurrad’s through the blessings of adoption. Each from different families. So you see, the fact that they look like each other is a very big deal. It has been such a joy watching this family grow and I’m thankful that I’ve been granted the honor of photographing these two amazing children and I look forward to watching the grow over the years.
