Session Type: Teen Portraits

I met this young teen a few years ago while creating school portraits. I only had the pleasure of creating a school portrait of her for one year because the next year she transferred to a new school. So when Mom contacted me and said she missed my signature black background school portrait, I was so excited to see her again and see how much she had grown!

I was also excited because at this age it is so easy for us parents to get caught up with all that life brings when we have children who are junior high and early high school age. We all know that this age is tough for everyone (the child and the parent). We sometimes forget to take a break and celebrate and document this age too. In just a few short years, she will be ready for her senior pictures (what!). But I guarantee that in those short years, she will have changed into a different person….she will look different, she will act a little different, her smile or the way she reacts in front of others may even be different. But you as a parent will always remember her - and portraits are a great way to keep that memory alive!

This age is also SO full of doubts about ourselves - she wasn’t super excited about coming in for portraits but after a couple of minutes she warmed up and her personality shined! I later learned that she loved the experience and the pictures. And I love that I was able to create something that made her feel good about herself!

Are you interested in your portrait session for your children? I’d love to chat!

Session Type: Family

Session Location: Everett Arboretum

The arboretum in Everett is a great place for a family portrait session - it’s not only beautiful, with lots of colorful flowers and trees but it’s also usually pretty quite (if we get there early)!

This family (visiting from Arizona), wanted a location with a park like setting but somewhere also close to the water - they wanted those Puget Sound views!

What do you think about this location? I’d love to chat with you about your own custom family session!

Session Type: 6 month milestone baby session

Session Location: Lincoln & Lucy Photography studio

Mommas!

When you book a newborn session with me, I want you to bring something special. Maybe it’s a stuffy, a special memento or blanket or quilt someone bought or made for you. These are the types of items that will make your session unique and even more meaningful. These special items can also be used when you come back in for updated milestone portraits. We will use that special something in the session again - it’s so fun to see a similar picture of your little one with the same backdrop or prop. It really highlights how much they have grown.

Here is a great example of what I mean!

And then some more of the great portraits from this little guys session - big brother came along and we captured some really special pictures of these two. You could tell that big brother just adored his little brother.

Session Type: Toddler Milestone Pictures

Session Location: Lincoln & Lucy Photography studio in Everett

Let me tell you….these toddler years are tough. I’m right in the midst of it myself (although mine just turned 4 so I’m hoping hoping and hoping that we are on the tail end of it) . The tantrums, the emotions, the “I want to do it myself”, and ALL the extra energy can be exhausting……BUT…..then they smile or giggle or experiment with a new cute word and we, as parents, melt and forget about all of the hardships.

The toddler years may be hard and there are some days we may just want to skip them altogether but in reality we know that we never want to forget just the way they are.

The stage of 2 and 3 years old is a GREAT time to commission custom portraits of your little one. Custom portraits that reflect their wonderful little personalities!

Seriously…..look at all of his cute faces!

Session Type: Newborn and Momma

Session Location: Lincoln & Lucy Photography studio in downtown Everett

You know, I would love to be able to tell you that all newborn sessions are a breeze. But that’s not me - I’m all about keeping it real! Some babies just don’t love their newborn photography session experience. Sometimes they don’t sleep, sometimes they may be over stimulated or hate being wrapped. Sometimes, they are struggling with eating or they have a hard time with gas or allergies.

And you know what? That’s okay - we work through each and every session and each session ends up being customized for each and every baby. That might mean that my plan for the session changes but I always end up with a gallery I’m proud to deliver (and if I don’t - I’ll invite you back in for more pictures).

This little one was one of those difficult sessions. The poor thing was suffering from gas and she would arch her back when I would move her. In the end, she was most comfortable all wrapped up so that is what we went with!

Mom picked out the colors blue and cream and pink. The blue wraps were my favorite. Really….who said blue was a boy color?!
