Family Photography- The Byrnes Family- Kubota Gardens, Seattle

Emily Brooker Photography- Family Sessions- Seattle, Kubota Gardens

This morning I was able to photograph Ben, Gen and Ada... who happen to be the cutest trio on the block. Ada warmed up to me real quick and showed me all her tricks especially jumping. Once we got her started it was hard to get her to stand still, but I have to say I am pretty fond of all the action shots. The girl can get some air!

Nathan and Adam- Seattle Sculptural Garden- Children's Photography

Emily Brooker Photography- Children's Portraits- Seattle, Washington

I had the chance to photograph these handsome guys at the Seattle Sculptural Garden. What was great about their session was that they were able to climb around the art installations while I casually took their picture. It was awesome climbing rooftops and between the timbers... 

just a great reminder that boys will be boys!

Fike Family- Renton- Family Photography

Emily Brooker Photography- Family Portraits- Renton, Washington

I met a wonderful family who wanted to get some photos taken before they move to Montana.

Having worked with the little girl before, I was prepared for wrangling a two year old during a photo session. 

This family session was taken at Gene Cuolon Park in Renton. I love this park because of all the little areas you can hang out in along the water. Mom came prepared with some wooden letters and it made for some great shots.

Overall, I had a great time during this family session and am really happy with their gallery!

Esme's Homecoming- Bellevue- Newborn Photography

One of my favorite moments as a mother was coming home from the hospital with our latest addition, Esme'.

This was also one of my favorite moments as a photographer as well. 

Esme' and I had just come home from the hospital and were relaxing on the back porch with the boys when I grabbed my camera to capture everyone's reactions to having a girl in the house.

There was an excitement in the air and you could see how infatuated everybody was with Esme'. Craig was so scared to have a daughter but you could tell already how protective he was of her at only two days old.
These pictures capture the long waited anticipation of bringing home another baby. After months of wondering what it would be like with another child, everyone was so happy and had such huge smiles on their face. This is my family at it's finest and I am so happy to have such great photographs to remind me of wonderful moments like this!

Ben, Leta & Max - Jefferson Park, Seattle - Family Photography Session

Now that I have braved some very scary price tags with starting my business, I am beginning to approach more families with children to have their photos taken. 

This is where Ben, Leta and Max come into the picture.

{ pun intended }

Ben and Leta were playing with their 22 month old son nearby when I approached them asking if they could use some family photos. They were great to work with and even though Ben said they would need directing the best photos I took were candid. Being able to photography families while they play with their children or take a walk allows me the opportunity to capture what they are really like.

Seeing Max's expression while his mother put on his hat or catching a glimpse of Max sucking his thumb while riding on his dad's shoulders... those moments are the ones that should be remembered.

It is scary at first to approach strangers to see if they want their photos taken- it has the potential to make you look like a creeper- but when you meet great people with an adorable kid, it makes it all worthwhile!
