Dabny Art Photography: Seattle Children & Family Photographer

my brother and sister in law, who lived only 2 miles away, moved today. it is slowly sinking in, and i am so sad not to have family living close by anymore. their kids came over to play the last couple days while they packed up the house, then last night we all had a big slumber party in our little apartment! i took my kids over this morning to run around in the empty house right before j & l left town.  our kids are all close in age, and they have so much fun together.

i can’t help but take pictures of zachary in just a diaper to show off his chubbiness!  you can’t tell in this picture, but he is sitting in the middle of an empty dining room, in a totally empty house.  how sad!  but we are really excited for them to start their new adventure and we will be visiting very soon!

amy now has a baby brother, three month old kyle! we went to a bellevue park by their house for their session. they were both oh so serious at first! check out these cute faces..

and then amy’s smile came out..

..and kyle fell asleep! he was just too tuckered out, so we got some adorable sleeping pictures.

i love a sleeping baby!

bob and jennifer got married on saturday, and i felt so honored to be at their intimate ceremony. jennifer wanted to keep it simple and only invited immediate family and a few friends. before the ceremony we went down to carillon point in kirkland to get some portraits on the water front. it was one of the hottest days of the year, but they were troopers and it was sweet watching how emotional it was for them during that time right before their wedding.

josh photographed a 50th anniversary that night and it was also our 6th wedding anniversary! it was wedding/anniversary central around here! we’ll probably celebrate in September when wedding season slows down a little bit!

here’s the gorgeous jennifer and her sweet new husband:

i can’t believe it’s already the middle of august.  the summer has gone too fast!  my kids and i have sure had a lot of fun days spent at the lake, going on walks, playing at different parks, and swimming at the pool.  we love summer days!

i have a few summer sessions still available, so contact me if you would like to schedule one!  and enjoy the rest of your summer!

i love to photograph one year olds. they are so new to the world but finally able to walk around, exploring on their own making it fun for me to follow them and capture their cute expressions. ella was such a fun little model in all her wardrobe changes. it was a hot and humid night (for seattle), but she didn’t seem to mind one bit.

how cute would this storyboard be in a little girl’s room?
