Dabny Art Photography: Seattle Children & Family Photographer

i just got back from a week and a half trip to oregon.  my family had a reunion as we welcomed my baby brother home from a two year mission.  we also celebrated olive’s first birthday, went hiking to some beautiful waterfalls, went to the beach on a sunny day, plus i got to take pictures of this fun family!!  if you follow me on facebook  you know that i did a giveaway once i reached 100 fans.  betsy won that giveaway and this is a sneak peek of her FREE session!

of these precious newborns.

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

i LOVED this session.  the location was beautiful, the lighting was perfect, and the family was adorable.

this little girl was an absolute doll.

at the end of the session, she plopped down in the sand and play with it for a good 15 minutes.  we took advantage of it and got some shots of mom and dad!

spring has come early in seattle.  pink and white blossoms bloomed weeks ago, and it has been so lovely.  we were lucky yesterday to have the warmest day that i remember since before winter.  it was perfect weather for these cute girls to run around the park and play under the pretty pink trees.   we even had some great sunsetting light at 6:30pm, thanks to daylight saving!

these kids have changed so much since i photographed them last.  just take a look!  they are just as cute and fun as ever, and even have a baby brother now!
