Mothers Day Adventures - JBLM Family Photographer

My Mothers Day Adventure 

I can't even begin to describe how hectic my life can get at times. Don't worry, this isn't going to be a blog entry about "poor me!" or "why me?". This is a blog entry because I wanted to share something a little bit more personal. A little peak into our lives. This last Saturday was fantastic and so so needed. You see,  below in these portraits are the 3 human beings that keep me sane in this crazy life. 

Luckily, I have an amazing husband that doesn't blink when I tell him we are going to take a 7 hour round trip drive for family portraits. Life is all about the adventure! This last Saturday we had family portraits taken by Amanda of Lennon Photography who is from Florida! (She rocks!) I had treated myself and had my hair and makeup done by Megan Wills and enjoyed the many compliments from not only my husband but my daughter as well as how pretty I looked. Isn't that the best you guys? Then for our session time...it rained. Who would have thought! I am so glad we were really able to capture the true Washington essence in our portrait session *insert sarcasm here* But seriously, I can't wait to see the final portraits. 

On our way home, we made the last minute decision to stop at Ruby Beach. This you guys. The last minute detours are ALWAYS the best. The sun was out and everyone was ready to get out of the car.

It was perfect. Smiles, laughter, ocean running, pirate cave, treasure hunting, white rock searching, log balancing, rock climbing (& eating...carson joseph), trail racing, salty air perfection. 

But, I'll let the photo's do the talking...

I was so excited when Miranda contacted me looking for a photographer in the Puyallup area. We discussed her vision for her portraits and I instantly knew of the perfect outdoor location to truly capture the beautiful Washington landscape. 

It was so much fun having her come over prior to her session to try on gowns from my handmade gown collection that I offer exclusively to my clients. She is an absolute vision in these gowns that we narrowed down for her to wear for her outdoor maternity session. 

Their session was definitely a favorite of mine and I was so honored to have been chosen to be a part of this special time in their lives. Their connection is undeniable! I can't wait to see their beautiful baby.

I was so excited when April chose me to be her photographer during this special time in her life. 

Her favorite portrait was featured as a "What I see, What You see" post on social media! 

When you choose me as your photographer for your portrait session, you did not hire a photographer to just simply push a button on the other side of the camera. I have a vision with each and ever photo I take and my goal is to bring that vision to life. 

I love being able to surprise my clients at their Reveal Ordering Session when they see the art work created. The "How?!" "WHAT?"  "Oh my goodness!"  jaw dropping reactions is what brings a smile to my face.  What is an even better feeling is when they receive their gorgeous fine art prints to be able to display in their home to time and time again enjoy those initial butterflies and reactions from their friends and families.

April gave birth to a beautiful baby girl after almost 41 weeks! Baby was comfortable where she was despite having family from both sides visiting and awaiting her arrival. 

Delilah May Guerrero made her appearance March 18th 2017 at 7lbs 12oz and 21 inches long.

I love how her session turned out and am so happy with the spring color pallet we went with for sweet baby's portraits. I can't give enough compliments to mommy and daddy for their outfit choice for their family portraits. I think Delilah agreed, because look at that SMILE! 

Thank you again Guerrero's for allowing me to be with you on this journey. I look forward to seeing you all again one day! 

Truly,

Stephanie Ratto
