Ariana and Gibson | Orting Family Photographer

With Gibson's first birthday and Ariana's third birthday, we shot near their family's new home out in Orting.  What better way to mark their big days and new place?  How can you go wrong with the river running right near their backyard and Mt. Rainier in the distance?

Ariana is growing into a beautiful little lady (who showed me where the best snacks are kept: in the freezer).  Gibson's little blue eyes and grin are the best at lighting up a room.  Or the whole outside, for that matter.

Read on for some of my favorites in this short little sneak peek...



Oh, hello 'fro.  I love you so.




Guess what's awesome about this image...it's straight out of the camera! No Photoshop, except for cropping.  How beautiful are her eyes?

Looking back over time...how fun is it to see how they've grown?  It is one of my very most favorite things about being entrusted to shoot little ones over their first years...
