My little man! - Fife Child Photographer

It's been a while since I posted some photos of my little man.  I can't believe birthday #4 is just around the corner!

Birthday Surprise! * Fife Newborn & Child Photographer

I'm *almost* caught up on blogging! This month FLEW by! I'm lucky to be able to celebrate my birthday in the same month as my mom. My sister surprised us on Saturday and took us to see the Nutcracker in Seattle. It was amazing! Sunday we celebrated with a yummy cake!

Just a "little" meltdown when I told him he had to stay downstairs and hang out.

He wanted to play the ABC game on the computer.

Almost 3! * Fife Child Photographer

I can't believe it! Kylen's going to be THREE years old!!! Where did the time go?! Here's the photo we chose for his birthday invites....love it!

Mine! * Fife Children's Photographer

I'm trying to get caught up on my blog. I'm currently smack dab in the middle of starting my 10th year of teaching!!!! I can't believe how time flies by! Here are a couple of recent photos of my little man. Can you believe he's almost 3?!?!

Golden Hour * Fife Child Photographer

The best light for photography is early morning and an hour before sunset. It's called The Golden Hour. I've always admired other photographer's photos taken during that time frame. I haven't had the opportunity to schedule a session during that time...so I made it my mission for the rest of this month to capture something beautiful and frame worthy. Kylen and I got in our car around 7:45 and drove around Fife looking for a spot. We found a neat field nearby and took some photos. Here are a couple of my favorites:

New Jersey here I come! * Seattle - Tacoma Newborn Photographer

Tomorrow Dan and I are flying out to New Jersey!!!! For those who don't know me...I was born and raised in NE Jersey...right near Giants Stadium. My cousin Jamie is getting married on Saturday and asked me to be her wedding photographer! I also get to do a family session while I'm there for the R family. I went to HS with Mrs. R., and we were in colorguard together. I'm so excited to be able to see friends and family....and of course to be "home"...yes...part of my heart will always be there. Dan and I are going to spend Thursday night in NYC near Times Square! Even though I lived in NJ (minutes away from NYC) for 17 years....I never spent the night in the city...so I'm really excited! *See* you all next Monday...oh yes...there will be pictures...LOTS of them!!!

Couldn't blog w/o a photo....so here's a cutie from today!

My little man * Fife/Sumner Child Photographer

FINALLY! Kylen allowed Auntie Kelly to cut his hair earlier this week. It was soooooooo long!!! The next day we met up with some friends to take photos in Sumner. Here are a few from the last week.

Soda * Fife Child Photographer

Yes...Kylen discovered soda. (Oh and we do call it SODA here..hehe.) I wish I could say I stayed strong and didn't allow him to try it...but I do let him take a sip here and there. Plus...it's one more thing to help him stay still for a photo. Lately I've been teaming with some wonderful Etsy shop owners to take photographs using their products. Here's a super cute hat I received today...perfect for Ky to model! Thanks to http://www.etsy.com/shop/CynsationalTreasure.

My little man...take 2! * Fife Child Photographer

Yeah! A day off! Kylen wanted to take some photos tonight...so we tested out his new hat we found at Gymboree.

My little man * Fife Child Photographer

Kylen was in the mood to take some photos tonight...well...I think he just wanted the c-a-n-d-y so we covered up his "mop" (He won't let anyone cut his hair, and it's crazy messy!) and snapped away! Here are 2 of my favorites!

Merry Christmas! * Tacoma - Fife Child Photographer

I can't believe it's almost here! Merry Christmas to you and your family! I have been blessed with amazing clients who made 2009 a success!

Loved * Tacoma - Fife Photographer

30...yes...today is my 30th birthday! I have to say that it's been my favorite birthday so far! It started on Friday when some of my wonderful coworkers decorated my office with black balloons and wore black ribbons to mourn me getting older....hehe. They also surprised me with a special message on the reader board. The best thing that day was when Mrs. Richardson's reading group started singing Happy Birthday in the hallway. It was so cute! Yesterday my inlaws drove up to take us out to lunch and surprised us with a Christmas tree. Last night some of my awesome friends took me out to celebrate my 21+9 birthday. We had a yummy meal at Masa's in Tacoma and then his Chopsticks for some piano fun. It was a blast. Today, my actual birthday, was a lo-key day. We put up the Christmas tree and hung out in our jammies. My parents and sister came over for some cake to end the celebration. I am blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. My friends, family, and clients are the best! May your Christmas be filled with lots of peace, love, and joy!
