Eight is great!

My oldest boy recently turned eight. He is such a happy, energetic, friendly, helpful, funny, caring little boy... I'm so glad he's mine. :) I took him out to snap a few pictures in celebration of the big day.











Happy birthday, buddy!

Birth Story

I had the opportunity to spend an evening with some good friends this week as they welcomed their new baby girl into the world. I was honored to be able to photograph such a special and wonderful event. There are no words to describe the emotions inspired by the miracle of birth, especially as a mother. I guess I don't need the words, though, because these images speak for themselves. I love the joy on Dad's face as he gets to "catch" the baby, and the amazement of the older children as they meet their new baby sister. Congratulations, friends!

Last one

This was my last session of 2012, and what a great way to end the year! We had been trying to make this mini-session happen for a while, but the weather would never cooperate. When we saw the sun peek out last week, we hurried out to snap a few shots. What an adorable little family this is!!

**Last chance!**

Have you been on the fence about booking a family session? Well, now is the time to do it!  I will only continue to offer my portfolio building discount (no session fee, 50% off desk prints) through the end of this year.

As of January 1, 2013 I will no longer be offering my portfolio building discount, which currently applies to family sessions. The session does not need to take place before the end of the year, you only need to have your deposit paid by then.

Gift certificates are also available if you would like to give a family session as a gift this holiday season!

Email me if you have any questions, or to book your session.

Three cuties

I had a session with these cute kiddos today...


 (You might remember baby Ian from his newborn session.)

We were so lucky to get a break from the Seattle rain for our session today. The weather was perfectly beautiful! These guys were such perfect little models, too. Thanks for a fun little outing today, guys! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Fall Fun

I had a fall mini session with this cute family last weekend. They braved the gloomy weather and we were lucky enough to get just enough rain-free time for our session!



Seriously, could these girls be any cuter?



Those blue eyes and blond curls just kill me! So adorable.





You might remember this cutie from her newborn session.







Thanks for braving the gloomy weather, guys! :)

Mini-sessions are available Saturday evenings through October. Depending on interest and weather, I might open them up for November, too. Contact me at photographybyli@gmail.com for questions or to book your session.
