Baby Rylan | Skagit County Family Photographer

December 4, 2009

My final session of 2009.  And how fabulous to be able to get outside on a very chilly December morning, especially since we are hit with a cold rain and 35 degrees today! Who would have thought we would be able to do outdoor photos when we planned baby Rylan’s session months ago.   But we got lucky!

Rylan is such a cutie with his big beautiful blue eyes and his fluff of strawberry blond hair.   It is always such a treat to be asked into a families home to document their child’s life.   He is a doll baby, cuddly and sweet.  And obviously so so loved.

Because this is my last official “session” post of 2009, I have to bombard you with more photos than I normally do.   I am looking forward to meeting so many new faces in 2010.  I will begin booking again next week, so if you would like to be on the contact list please send me an email.

And now on to the good stuff… Baby Rylan…

These are proof of why I love shooting family sessions outdoors – the connection and emotion are so natural and our gorgeous valley  provides such a beautiful backdrop.

Thank you Jillian and David for inviting me over to photograph you all.  It was such a pleasure.  And a special thank you to you, David for serving and protecting our country.  We all appreciate the job you do for us.  So glad you could be home  for the holidays.
