I don’t normally do newborn baby pictures in red, but this family looks amazing in red and has done the entire baby nursery in red also, so naturally, I had to do some of this gorgeous studio newborn session in red! Baby girl was perfect for her session and slept through the whole thing, which […]

Story time! In May, I had a fairy session in Seattle for a repeat client. I shot the session, then went to do a class and another session the following day. I downloaded the class images and the second session, but I somehow failed to download the first session before reformatting that card. When I […]
