6 month old's first portrait

Angela called me a few weeks ago and stated "My daughter is growing up too fast! I need you to take some pictures." Angela's daughter is about 6 months old and at the perfect age for her 1st professional portrait. In fact, it's my favorite age to photograph because they aren't crawling yet,(captive audience!) they sit up by themselves, their personality is blossoming and they love it when I get silly. This little girl was a bit more serious and preferred to observe than bust out laughing...fine with me, it gave me a chance to focus on her beautiful soulful eyes.

I found this image as I was going though some old files.

Golden Garden's Portrait Session

The Douglas family came to me after winning one of my Gift Certificates at a recent NARAL fund-raising auction. They had never had a portrait created and were a little nervous. Not formal people, they didn't want to be portrayed as such. They chose Seattle's Golden Garden Park to do the portrait and we were blessed with a beautiful, dry overcast day. The variety of landscape opened us to many options for backdrops as they laughed and played with one another.
