Baby Nora- Newborn Session

Kylie, one of my oldest and closest friends, just had a baby! She and her fiance Adam had the FREAKING CUTEST lil' girl named Nora. I had such a great time capturing her for half of a day, hanging out with Kylie, her mom, Kris, and my mom, Karen. Kylie's mom and my mom are really close friends too.  Kylie has a real knack for decorating and has always been insanely creative. The nursery they created for Nora is soooo good. The neon GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS sign is one of the coolest decorative touches I've ever seen in any room (love me some neon)!

I was a bit worried for our session because Nora was only a week old and I don't have any experience with babies. I was so pleased, though. Nora cried for MAYBE 2 minutes the entire 4 hours I was taking these portraits. She is such a well behaved, sweet, smiley, angel of a baby!

Kylie & Adam, I'm so glad you created such a beautiful little human. I can tell she is going to be such a badass, strong girl! I can't wait to see you walk and learn to talk.


SVNLIGHTS

Reworking the layout and pages of my website, I noticed I mistakenly made a gallery of my set with Miki from 3 years ago instead of a blog post. I adore our shoot together and had to repost it here.

SVNLIGHTS is a jewelry collection handmade by the incredibly talented Miki Drake. We shot this series in my hometown of Tacoma, WA. I had an amazing time getting to know such an inspiring woman who is so deeply connected to her craft. The labor of love she puts into her pieces is so inspiring.
