Whenever I go shopping it mostly revolves around me thinking “Can I put a baby in or on it and is it unique and different?” and I’m usually willing to pay whatever they are asking if the answer is yes to both of those. So I recently got this adorable toadstool in hopes that I could use it with a tiny baby. Well, it is pretty small! And I haven’t been getting super tiny little ones lately, so I was very pleased when the stars aligned and Winston fell into my lap. At just barely over 6 pounds, he was at the maximum size for the toadstool! The weather cooperated, Winston fell asleep with perfect timing, and with some extra handy photoshop skills to edit out the Daddy spotter who was waiting to catch just in case…we got this, just as I imagined it.

And it really only took about 5 minutes, right in the beginning. I was pleased Then we got some more of this little cutie.

Fall sessions are here. I know, it’s hard to believe! I am going to open up my calendar for mini sessions and full sessions today, and can’t wait to see you all.

If you are interested in a newborn, or standard full session for your family, email me about availability. (rebecca@catchlightsNW.com). I have set aside a certain number of spots for these, and they can be in my studio or on-location.

If you are interested in a mini session, here are the details:

Mini sessions are shorter in length (30-45 minutes) and will not have the same variety of a full session. There are 3 collections available for these minis (please email for full pricing information, collections start at $375), and they are all pre-paid at the time of reservation. You may upgrade your collection after the session if you wish, to a bigger collection. All mini sessions will have online ordering, and galleries will have between 10 and 20 images. All mini sessions include a set of 25 holiday cards. I am offering 18 brand new, beautiful designs this year, and you will have to choose your design AT your session…so come prepared with your decision making hat! I have copies of each design you can hold and look through. And of course you can add cards at a reduced rate if you need more than 25.

I am offering 3 locations for the mini sessions, see images below.

1) Cottage in the woods, with optional outdoor “bubble bath”

3) In-studio, Weather doesn’t matter for these! I’ll just put one for reference, you all know what the studio looks like. I will have a variety of backdrops available.

In-studio mini sessions will be available throughout the Fall on select weekdays. Full sessions will take priority for the weekends. Please email for current availability.

I took Gunnar’s newborn photos last July on I think the hottest evening of the year. We found a less sweltering evening for his 1 year photos, but still had beautiful golden sunset light. Such an adorable little man he is growing up to be!

It has been going on 2 years since I last photographed these beautiful girls, and it was such an inspirational treat for me. 

I love family sessions, and love that the start of Fall (yes, it is just right around the corner!) means lots of families outside!
