Olympia Newborn Photographer | Ryleigh Mae

Apr

25

I have struggled so much with my identity in saying something as bold as “Olympia Newborn Photographer”. Weddings? Absolutely. Newborns are a completely different ball game. But I love them just the same. Newborns and weddings are my yin and yang. For weddings I bring all the energy! Newborns are filled with white noise and slow movement. I tell all of my newborn mommas how humbled I am. The babies call all the shots for me. We take as much time as necessary. The learning curve is different. The light is different. The bodies are SO different. There’s no cracking a cheesy joke at just the right moment to get the shot I’m envisioning. There’s just the white noise and any training’s and tips I can find in between the throws of wedding bliss.

Why offer newborn portraits? Because when I’ve developed such amazing relationships with my brides, I just can’t say no when they come back a year later. 😉 ♥

I picture a day where I’m shooting 1-2 newborns a week and weddings every other weekend with all the engagements and maternity inbetween! What can I say? I LOVE this stage of life.

Give me all the love, marriage, and baby carriage years!

Thank you so so much to Sydney and Nolan for inviting me to document sweet Ryleigh’s newborn portraits! I am so excited to see your family grow as you cherish each milestone as Mom & Dad to another beautiful baby girl.

Drop your vote blow!! Who thinks Ryleigh is a red head like Daddy?! It’s a hot topic and my studio lighting sure thinks so!

Welcome to the world baby girl. ♥

Early October I got to experience an adventurous and romantic Swiss Autumn with my long distance partner. We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]

Hey, Mommas. Take a look at your babies now. Go ahead. Just take a quick peek. They grow. Today was a bit exhausting, wasn’t it? There were moments of things never being quite perfect. You tried your best and showed up in every way you could possibly think to and still, you fell short in […]
