It was such a thrill for me to photograph Erin and Mark’s 10-day old twins. Especially since I know just how wanted they were and how loved they are. These sweet babies will never lack for anything, as evidenced by how many people popped in during their session to offer to help out , and by how full Erin’s kitchen was of snacks and meals brought over by a supportive community of family, friends, and neighbors. Welcome to the world, Winnie and Hank. I look forward to watching you grow!

I’ve been so lucky to photograph so many radiant mamas-to-be this summer. Tamara is 36-weeks along and positively glowing! In a few short weeks this sweet little family of two will blossom into three when Tamara and Jason welcome their baby girl into the world. Is it October yet? I can’t wait to meet her!

I love birthdays and was thrilled when Antara’s parents contacted me to photograph her first birthday party last week in Redmond. The party was Minnie Mouse themed-with lots of pink details- and the cake, created by Mike’s Amazing Cakes, lived up to it’s name; it was amazing (and delicious). You can tell her parents put a lot of time an energy into creating a beautiful party for their sweet baby girl.



If you live in Redmond, Bellevue, Seattle, Kirkland or the surrounding areas, and need a birthday party photographer, contact me at bellanovaphoto@gmail.com. I’d love to capture all the details of your event!
