A Princess is Born | Daily Shot of Inspiration

With all the hustle-and-bustle of the summer wedding season, this simple and sweet image reminds me to relax, savor the moment, and indulge in the occasional nap.  :)

Sweetly Sleeping ... Bellevue Baby Portraits by Azzura Photography

This image is simply too cute for words ...

Daily Shot of Inspiration || Friday, May 27th || Bellevue Baby Portraits

One of the most rewarding facets of being a photographer is recording the growth of our couples and their lives together.  We photographed Sam and Jill's wedding almost five years ago (although it seems like yesterday!), and since then they have added two adorable sons to their family.  The youngest, Colin, has an infectious laugh that lights up a room and a perfect camera-ready smile.  (I had to throw the teary photo in, too - the progression made me laugh!)

Daily Shot of Inspiration || Sunday, February 6th || Cutest. Baby. Ever.

This is one of my all-time favorite wedding day family portraits.  Xavier (the adorable upside-down baby) is not only cute as a button, he is crazy-smart ... at under a year old, when he met my Umbrella Cockatoo, he smiled and said "Parrot!"

With the New Year just around the corner I think of all the many fabulous new things that have come into our lives in 2009 - new friends, new inspirations, and even some newborns!  Carson is the adorable son of Rachelle and Joe, a super-sweet couple whose wedding we photographed in Hawaii a few years ago.  I hope everyone (myself included!) is able to take some time this holiday to think of all the amazing gifts in our lives and to be grateful for the blessings.  :)
