Dabny Art Photography: Seattle Children & Family Photographer

i couldn’t believe how much hudson grew since last year. and that curly hair and those big brown eyes!  he is such a handsome little man.

this girl

has the sweetest voice.

sometimes “has a frowny face because [she's] shy”

pretends she’s duke the dog half of the time.

loves to be home.

would take her blanky and doggy with her everywhere if i let her.

wanted a “batman boy party” on her birthday.

was my first baby girl.

4 years ago our family got a whole lot sweeter.

happy 4th birthday, abby!

 i was a little intimidated to do a half hour session for a family that has two babies!  but, thankfully, these cuties were perfect little angels and they even gave me lots of smiles!

we just got home from a wonderful two week vacation to visit family in connecticut.  we traveled around a bit and saw manhattan, boston, rhode island, and upstate new york.  every place we went was absolutely beautiful, but i have to say that the most beautiful scenery was right outside my brother and sister in law’s back windows:

it was gorgeous and we had such a great trip!  it was a little hard to come home, but i have been quite anxious to get back to work.  it was tough leaving for two weeks during the busiest photography time of the year, but i’m rejuvenated and ready to work, work, work!!  today i will be posting pictures from my mini sessions and tomorrow the christmas cards will be up! 

please note, all print and card orders need to be in by december 1st to get here by christmas!

i love this family.  they are fun and full of energy!  they live right down the street and we play with them a lot.  the kids are about the same age as my two oldest and they have another one due on christmas!

payton is one talented boy!  he is a musician, actor, singer, athlete, piano teacher, great student, and all around good guy.  not only is he talented, but he kept me on my toes….literally!  he’s 6’4″ and had me wishing i brought a step ladder!  

getting an updated family picture is so important, and your christmas card is a great motivation to get one!  mini sessions are a perfect opportunity to get your christmas card pictures.  they are quick and easy and include 3 digital images.  choose your images from a private online gallery, and then i will email them to you quickly so you can get to work on your cards or you can order cards from me.  just click ‘contact’ above to send me a message letting me know what location and time you would like, and i will send you more info!

these are my friend elizabeth’s adorable kids.  they have squishy cheeks, and if i’m lucky i get to nibble on them.

i love sun setting light!  that’s why i schedule most of my sessions in the evening – especially in the summer.  we were so lucky to get the most gorgeous light for this session on what was most likely the last hot day of the summer.  i am so sad to see the summer come to an end!  i will soon be posting my CHRISTMAS session dates if you can believe it, so watch out for those!
