Dabny Art Photography: Seattle Children & Family Photographer

of these precious newborns.

i got to take pictures of baby jack again.  he is a little slice of heaven.

after a long winter, doesn’t 70 degrees feels hot?!  this afternoon my kids put on their swimsuits and filled up their little pool.  for hours they splashed around and played with water balloons, and they never got cold.  it made me so excited for summer!  we have had the best weather for sessions lately including the day i photographed this beautiful family.  we did their session at luther burbank park on mercer island, and had a lot of fun walking along the water and finding great spots for pictures. 

this boy.  he has had my heart since the day he was born.  we had a picture date last night, and having one on one time made me fall in love with him all over again.  he is such a charmer, very sweet, and so curious about everything.  he planned the meal (first course: chocolate milkshakes) and picnic location (at a park on top of the play structure) and i got to take as many pictures of him as my heart desired.  it was fabulous.  he asked if we could go on a date every night.  oh i wish we could!

but next time i’ll leave my camera at home! 

we had such perfect weather for this session and a great location on the UW campus.  combine good weather with lots of space to run around, and this cute 15 month old just wanted to go, go go.  luckily, i have a fast camera that can keep up with fast moving kids!

on the go… again!

this one just makes me happy

happy mother’s day! 

baby austin was so fun to take pictures of that i had a really hard time leaving.  i could have stayed all day, rocking him to sleep and putting him in all kinds of fun poses.  he is such a sweet baby and makes the cutest little sounds.  congratulations mindy, darren, and big brother trevor!

this handsome little guy was born yesterday, and i was so lucky to be present at his birth.  yesterday was also the birthday of my little guy who turned 6.  it was a very emotional day for me having my baby turn another year older, witnessing a labor and delivery, and being at the same hospital where my girls were born.  although i found myself having sympathy back labor and doing lots of deep breathing, it was much easier being the photographer than the one giving birth!

congratulations vanessa & eric and the two big sisses!  thank you for letting me be present for jack’s birth.  it was amazing!

breckyn is such a cute and smart little baby, and she is very good at mimicking.  she copied all the silly faces and sounds that her mom and i made to try to get her to smile.  needless to say, i have many, many pictures of her sticking out her tongue! 

even though she absolutely hated being in my basket, i did get one picture of her before she started bawling, and it is my favorite one from the session!

livy is 10 months now.  i feel like going into mourning over my baby turning one in two months.  at least part of my job is holding and cuddling babies!  i snapped some pictures of livy today to capture her personality at this age.  as you can see, she just sat and played in her crib the whole time.  it was so nice keeping her contained while i shot away.  i could seriously do a whole photo session with a baby in a crib!
