R’s Cake Smash {Children} Tacoma Children Photographer

J’s Cake Smash {Children} Tacoma Children Photographer

This adorable little girl stole my heart the second she came in the door, just look at those big beautiful eyes! J was a little nervous about getting in front of the camera but once she got comfortable she started to shine!
She was born in the year of the rabbit so her parents wanted to incorporate bunnies into her cake smash, which was an adorable idea!  She even had cute little bunny ears to wear! After a few wardrobe changes it was time for the cake, which she did NOT love at all! So instead she played with a ball:)She still looks adorable with frosting all over her face and body!

I absolutely enjoyed having J and her family in the studio and I can’t wait to have them back!

Red Thread Sessions {Tacoma Adoption Photographer}

I am so SO proud to announce that I am now a volunteer for Red Thread Sessions! Red Thread Sessions was started in 2011 by two custom photographers in Texas and Maryland, both whom added to their families through adoption. Feeling the need in their communities to celebrate the beauty of adoption through photography, Red Thread Sessions was born. Soon after, many other photographers throughout the U.S. felt moved to donate their time as well. Red Thread sessions not only captures family portraits of new families, it also capture the precious, happy, confusing, exciting, exhausting, traumatic, life-changing time that is so often brief and fleeting in the life of an adoptive family.

Adoption means so much to me personally as I have always known in my heart that I wanted to adopt a child. I’ve always imagined having 2 kids of my own and adopting a third. Adoption was always my plan. So when we found out that my son, Tanner, was born with a genetic liver disease called Alpha 1 Anti-Trypsin Deficiency, adoption was something we started to discuss and hopefully have the opportunity to do when the time is right! When I heard about Red Thread Sessions I jumped right on it because I want to give these amazing families a gift! A session free of charge for adoptive families who have adopted in the last 3 months. Your session could be a homecoming session, open adoption birth session, or adoption portrait session.

I absolutely love the story behind the name Red Thread Sessions!
The Ancient Chinese Proverb is a commonly-used saying within the adoption community. It symbolizes the bond that all adoptive children have with their adoptive parents, even before they meet. An invisible “red thread” connects them to the people they are destined to meet. Although this Proverb truly relates to all people, it has a particularly strong connection to adoptive families and seemed like the perfect name for this organization.

So, if you or someone you know has adopted a child in the last 3 months please head over to Red Thread Sessions for information!
