{1 Month} Harper Florence

My good friends from college, Vanessa & Nate, have a new member of their family, Harper! She definitely gave them a surprise and a bit of a scare by coming a few weeks early, but she proved to be a little fighter and is now a happy and perfectly healthy little girl. It was so good to see Vanessa and Nate and see how much their son, Baron has grown since the last time I saw him. He's now the big, older brother of the family, even though he isn't even two yet, and he just loves to give his new little sister lots of kisses. It's also pretty adorable to hear him say "Harper" because he pronounces it like he has a little southern accent. So cute!! Harper was such a good sport for her 1st photo shoot and came well prepared with her favorite accessory, her pink binky!

Dear Jake,

Why do you hate to have your picture taken now??? You used to LOVE our little photo shoots together. You always had such a big smile on your face, and you would sit there looking like the most adorable little boy that you are. Now that you can talk a little more you love to say the word "cheese" when I pull out my camera, but you no longer show me your happy face. Now all I get is your sad face or the back of your head when you're running away from me. How am I supposed to show you off to all my friends if I don't have any pictures of you??
Love,

Antie Ceeya

{Married} Chris & Keely

Keely and I have know each other since high school and while I stayed in the Seattle area to start my career, she moved on to sunny California where she ended up meeting Chris. We sort lost touch over the years with the many miles between us, but thanks to Facebook we were still able to know a little about what was going on in each others lives. So of course through Facebook, we realized that we both got engaged on the exact same day! Very random and exciting all at the same time! Keely and Chris got married earlier this summer in California, but unfortunately not all of their friends and family could make the trip out there. So they decided to re-create their big day for all those who missed it, with a Seattle reception. I was so glad when Keely invited me to come take some pics, meet her new hubby, and catch-up! Congratulations you two!!

{Family} Meet the Millers

Katie & I met way back in our college days at WSU. We both had terrible living situations our 1st semester of college so we decided to become roomies! We had so much fun together and made some great memories in the halls of Wilmer-Davis. I had met some of her family over in Pullman but it had definitely been a while, so it was great to see them all again and meet some for the 1st time! The Millers remind me so much of my family and I had such a great morning with them! They are all such happy and friendly people and they make you feel right at home with them! I hope you enjoy these!

{9 Months} Liliana Mae

Little Liliana is now 9 months old, and she has definitely grown a lot since the last time I saw her. I got to take her photos when she was just 3 months old and now she's sitting up on her own, standing with some help, and even crawling! She is such a little cutie and I just could not get enough of her ADORABLE smile and BRIGHT blue eyes! The last photo is one of my favs and I just couldn't decide between the color and the black and white, so I decided to show both:) Absolutely precious!!

{Expecting} Betsy & Gino

My Cousin Betsy and her husband Gino are expecting a baby boy in August!! I'm so excited for them and I can't wait to meet the newest addition to the Trapani's! Betsy has had one of the roughest pregnancies I've ever hear of, but you'd never know by the HUGE smile on her face. She was hospitalized in the 1st trimester, initially lost 10 pounds, she had to be hooked up to an IV around the clock for five weeks, and now her hips give her so much pain that she can barely walk or even move. Gino is such a trooper though, and is always right by her side to help her out. They are both overjoyed to welcome their 1st baby into this world, and it sounds like he may even make an early appearance. She's already starting to have lots of contractions and we even had to take a little break from shooting while we waited for one to pass. I know that Betsy and Gino will make AMAZING parents and their little boy will be so loved! Congratulations!!
