Miss Tiana's Sneak Peek {Seattle Newborn Photographer}

This darling little one's family was on a tight schedule when they arrived at the studio, and despite my best efforts, I'm pretty sure I made them quite late for their pediatrician appointment. Sorry guys! But how can you not want to take shot after shot after shot of such an adorable baby girl? Tiana was so very well-behaved, and a HUGE fan of the space heater! I've been in contact with various members of her family for a while now, and I cannot begin to express how much love this little girl has been born into. How wonderful!

While you were sleeping...

Lila is going to be 2 in April. TWO! I don't know how this happened so quickly. It's like I went to bed one night after rocking my baby to sleep and when I woke up in the morning she was a toddler. We've gone from bottles to straws, from booties to Squeaker Sneakers, from crawling to running away from me in Walgreens, from putting her tiny baby toes in her mouth to taking her shirt off in public places... There are certainly things I could do without: the way she covers her face with her hands, bursts into hysterical fake tears, and throws herself on the floor because I wouldn't let her sit in the refridgerator, or how she shrieks "MOOOOOM!" when I take away the Metamucil she grabbed off the shelf in the grocery store simply because she could reach it. But there are also the times that I've been gone all day and when I walk in the door she runs up to me and hugs my legs so tightly, and when she grabs my face in her hands and gives me a kiss for no reason at all.  I really want her to stay my baby forever, buuuuut it would be nice if she could hurry up and learn how to wipe her own butt and cook herself dinner.  

Because I'm not the on-top-of-everything mom that I would love to be, we never got good pictures of Lila in her 2010 Halloween costume. A costume that I actually MADE with my own two hands! At least I get points for that, right? We're big Yo Gabba Gabba! fans in the Luke household, so I thought it was best that Lila should be Foofa for Halloween. Here are some VERY late photos.

Eric & Amanda's Sneak Peek {Tacoma Maternity Photographer}

I had a wonderful session with this great couple. Amanda came more prepared than any client I've ever had. (It was great!)  They were so adorable together and breezed through every shot.  The basketball shot was so much fun, even though Eric needs to practice a bit on his finger spinning. Just kidding ;-) Their love and excitement were so obvious, and I can't wait to see the little angel that they bring into the world.

I Like Free Stuff and I Cannot Lie

     I'm sure you do too.  But what I hate is free JUNK!  When you get something for free, it's generally because it's pretty worthless.  Well, not in this case. (No pun intended.) 
     A major part of my business is referrals. I want you to have a great session with Lil' Peach Photography.  I want you to be in love with your images.  And I want you to be so excited about your experience that you can't wait to share it with your friends, family, and complete strangers in the grocery store!  I appreciate this word-of-mouth buzz so much that I want to give you a gift just to say thank you.  So for every person you refer to Lil' Peach Photography who books and completes a session, you will receive a FREE customized iPhone case.  You can choose from a Capsule Case for the 3G/3Gs model or a Deflector Case for the 4 model.  The cases are high quality, easy to use, protect your phone, and show off a beautiful image of your family.  Keep one for yourself (or two or three), or send them to family.



     What's that? You don't have an iPhone? Well how about a case for your iPod Touch.


...or maybe you'd prefer a skin for your laptop...


And of course there is always the choice of a free 8x10 mounted fine art print.  So many options of FREE stuff that actually rocks.  Get to chit-chatting and spread the word about Lil' Peach Photography so I can start designing your presents! 




*One item per referral that books and completes a session. Limit of 4.  All items also available for purchase - contact me at lilpeachphotography@gmail.com for prices.

Kaiden & Ava's Sneak Peek

I had planned for a day of rain, umbrellas, and puddle-jumping, but when I got to the location of the A. Family's session it was all blue skies.  I was definitely thrown a curveball.  Upon arriving, Kaiden was quiet and Miss Ava was not too pleased, surely wondering who this weird stranger with the camera was.  So we broke the ice with a game of throwing rocks into the water, and soon the unexpected sunshine was matched by the brightness of their smiles.

C'est Fini + Rylen's Sneak Peek

The studio is finally FINISHED!  It will still be quite some time before it's all set up and ready for a grand opening, but I'm so happy just to have it done!  I spenty the morning cleaning, with the help of my wonderful mother.  Some great friends went all the way to Capitol Hill to pick up furniture for me.  Unfortunately I don't know if it's going to work out, but I sure was thankful I had it today. *(A BIG thank you to everyone who helped me today: Mom, Joe, Thomas, and Makenzie!)*

Handsome little Rylen stopped by today to be my very first mini model in my brand new studio.  Thankfully, his family was very understanding of my fairly empty new space.  Rylen was just born on the 9th, and was pretty awake for a good part of our session though his family swore this wasn't usually the case.  If there's one thing you can count on with babies, it's unpredictability!  Congratulations to the K Family on their sweet and adorable baby boy!

The Millers' Sneak Peek - Part 2

     Miss Presley was a trooper through our session, but what pretty girl doesn't like having her picture taken?  Her mom and dad have had no luck keeping her on a schedule, she's going to be a tough cookie when she grows up, so keeping her asleep was no easy task.  Luckily she's absolutely adorable whether she's sleeping or wide awake.  So we ordered a pizza and made an afternoon of it.  What an angel!
