Kirkland Mother Daughter Session with Alyssa and Amelia

It has been my absolute honor to photograph Alyssa and her family for the last year. I took photos of miss Amelia at home last year at four months old and then family holiday photos at Bemis Arts in November.

Arjun's First Family Photos

Amit and Jinita were some of the proudest parents I have ever seen! They are so smitten with little Arjun. They were affectionate, sweet, and honest about adapting to being new parents! We took their family pictures outside in the Bellevue Botanical Gardens and had so much fun.

Even More of This Beautiful At Home Family Session

I already blogged this sweet family session, but I wanted to add on these photos we took in their yard! Even when you have a toddler meltdown, beautiful moments are created, just look at Harper in her parents' arms.
