Life's a Beach...

.....And aren't we glad it's a pretty one?

I just love Jetty Island!  And it was made even sweeter with the presence of one of my favorite little girls! 

Little Adi is turning three- and all of her grandparents were in town to help her celebrate, so we decided to go to the beach for some calm, peaceful, restful, classic beach photos......

What we failed to plan on was how amazingly WINDY it was- and that the 3 year old was so completely taken with the beach that the rest of us barely existed... so any hopes of some moderately composed shots... sort of vaporized...

That said- the magic that is little kids and sand- compounded with a toddler who is surrounded by the most incredible halo of love made for the sweetest way to spend an afternoon.

Aannnndddd..... She's going to have a new brother or sister soon- so there will be even more gorgeous in this family..... I am giddy with excitement!

The new kid on the block...

Meet Scotty.... He's new in town.  This handsome, tiny little man had a newborn appointment tentatively set with me for this week- but decided to come a few weeks early so I popped over to their place instead to meet him and his gorgeous big sister Lizzie. 

Lizzie was a great tour guide but she was very busy, so I mostly hung out with Scotty.... who slept like a rock the entire session- which is so rare and it made for sweet snugly images.

I feel so lucky and honored to be a part of my client family's lives....  and to help them book mark their lives.

Thanks for having me over guys! xoxo Didi V.

Meet Lauren....

I was supposed to meet baby Lauren and her beautiful parents for belly pix... but she decided to come a month early to meet me in person! 

{I loved that this family was all about the natural beauty of skin and not a lot of fluff- just sweet and natural}

So without further a-do... I'll let this little show stopper speak for her Diva self.....

in a word.... Perfection.

Fi & the Fam

Sunshine and Seattle....

It's rare- but when these two things collide... it's magic!

Now add a dash of sass and a pinch of adorable and you have the recipe for the perfect day!

I met with Fiona and her folks at Gas Works Park in Seattle for a late day pic-nic.

Her parents wanted to chronicle Fi turning 18 months and it was so fun to chase this VERY busy little girl around...  We had a grand time!

{Her Super Hero name should be "The Blur" because she is super duper fast!!!}

I can't help but run fast forward in my head, thinking about how precious a bird's eye photo session like this will be to these kids that I photograph with their families when they are adults... to see how  adored they are- and who their parents were when they were little..... good stuff.

Thanks for asking me to play guys!

G-Fam Fun

I met up a couple of weeks ago with the G-fam- and fell in love.

What a gorgeous group- laid back, wholesome goodness- and each with heart-stopping eyes and a few perfectly placed freckles.... {love}

And I love that we played with an urban setting for family photos-

something fun and different.

New Season- New Look

Hey kids- the sun is shining-which means a couple of things- besides the obvious and obligatory watering and mowing of the yard.

It means that it's time to start scheduling your summer and fall photos!!!

Whether you need a new head shot, family photos, milestone events and birthdays or you have a senior who will be graduating Spring 2013- NOW is the time to book your sessions.

The NAP calendar is filling up fast- get your spot now!

{and you all know who you are..... you need a new head shot

'cause I've seen your profile photo on social media.}

Jus' sayin.....

Geepers-Creepers.... where'd you get those peepers......

Wowsers!  Look at those eyes....

 Lil' Miss Stella came to see me for her big girl photos since she's just turning ONE!

What a sweet girl!  I did photos for her big sissy Karla a couple of years ago- and it's a crazy resemblance!

I love being able to follow families and journal their every changing faces....

Good Stuff!

Yay! She's here- she's here- she's finally here!!!!

Introducing the newest star of the T-fam.... Meet Allie!

We've waited for what seems like forever- but she's finally here!

Meet the Knight family.

I'm not sure which I fell in love with first- Mommy's delicious accent, Daddy's sweet smile, or the kid's infectious smiles, curious nature or those eyes and lashes.....

In any case- it was a wonderful way to wake up and spend a morning on Edmond's beach with them
