Tacoma Family Photography | Do you ever go through your digital albums and delete all the garbage photos? Half closed eyes, everything is out of focus, that double chin that you hate happily made a special appearance? I mean, you’re supposed to delete those right? Well, I had a trash folder that was ready to be emptied… I hadn’t pushed FINAL delete button in awhile, so I figured I would rummage through the folder real quick, just in case. And, I found a few photos that maybe shouldn’t have found their way to the trash folder…some that NEEDED to be deleted ASAP…and then this one. I stopped scrolling and just sat in the moment of this image.

My littlest one was almost 11 months. She wanted to walk all the time…but couldn’t quite do so without holding someone’s hands. But. It was her favorite thing to do. In between eating and napping, she would walk laps around the house {with someone’s assistance}. This particular day, her oldest sister, BrookLynn, walked laps with her for a good 30-40 minutes. Lots of smiles, teeny tiny foot stomps and giggles were parading around our living room, dining room and foyer.

To anyone else who was to stumble upon this photo, would probably think it was junk. Its crooked, the subjects are out of focus, the majority of the image is blown. But for me. I sit here quietly in front of my computer… Living that moment… Hearing those giggles… Loving this memory… Blurry, blown and crooked… I love this!

  • mary beth - I love this and I have done the same thing! I recently took a CM breakout that told us to embrace the imperfect, to forget the rules! So I went back and found a lot of new loved images that I would have trashed in the past!ReplyCancel

    • Kaethe - Right! I am so glad that I typically don’t throw everything that is junk away. I usually let it simmer in the trash before I commit to actually deleting the images permanently! I often find a gem when I come back to delete the flagged images…maybe only one in 100, but, I’ll take it!ReplyCancel

  • Kristin - What yummy light!! Beautiful memory. xoReplyCancel

  • Jessica B - What a sweet moment and memory!! I’m so glad you didn’t delete it! I could mistake this for my oldest daughter and baby, so thank you so much for posting it!ReplyCancel

Tacoma Birth Photographer | Happy Birth Day to dear Alexis!

I was OH SO HAPPY when I got the text from Adrienne telling me that she was pregnant again! And even more over the moon when she asked me to be a part of this little peanut’s Birth Day! There is something SO special about a second time momma wanting you to come into her sacred Birth Space again!

When the day FINALLY came to meet Alexis, we were all ready! Especially Momma! She had been contracting off and on for a week, and then pretty constant the day off (or, I should say, the day before)! When she was admitted into Labor & Delivery at 6cm I packed my bags and came flying to the hospital! When I got to her room (which was the SAME room she delivered her oldest daughter in), you couldn’t even tell she was in labor! She was happy and relaxed and contractions weren’t even phasing her! Seeing a momma in labor is one of the most beautiful sights to see!

As the night went on, everyone, especially Momma, was tired and SO ready to meet Alexis! It took a LONG time, but finally, around 2pm the NEXT day, delivery was immanent! Adrienne had a wonderful support group cheering her on the whole way! And FINALLY. After MANY hours of active labor and almost an hour and a half of pushing…Finally Momma got to hold her sweet daughter in her arms! And THAT right there, is a sacred, testimonial moment, that never leaves a Momma’s heart! <3

Tacoma Birth Photographer | When G-Pop went on a field trip… I am currently finalizing Baby Alexis’ Birth Day, and when I came across these photos, I KNEW they deserved a post all by themselves! This Grandpa makes everyone in the room smile from ear to ear. And when he decided to take a little field trip, he stopped by the nurses station to show off his first Grand Baby Girl! And of course, all of the nurses fell in love with G-Pop!  Every nurse was left smiling and loving all of the pictures Grandpa had to share of his Grand Baby Girl! {who is also a KaetheJo Binder Photography Birth Story Alum!} It was the sweetest thing EVER!

Tacoma Birth Photographer | Coming off a birth high takes time! I cannot believe that in the past three days I have witnessed two beautiful baby girls come earth side! Both times I had to make a mad dash out of gymnastics to make it on time! (I am starting to notice a trend!) But both times, I arrived with enough time to capture the support, love and beauty of labor, followed by the amazing testimony of birth a new life! Really, there is NOTHING better! I still can’t believe that I get to be in these moments with these beautiful mothers! I am truly honored and blessed!

I have a lot of work ahead of me, editing the photographs as well as video, for not only these two births, but the two births before these two births! But, tonight, I get to go to bed with my phone OFF! Which, for a birth photographer, is kind of strange, but also kind of exciting! I get to go to bed tonight knowing that I have no baby mamas who might need me at 2 am! I will greet this rest with arms wide open and enjoy this break from being on-call!

HOWEVER, as I mentioned above, I am just coming off of this Birth High! And, because I am, and because I love meeting new babies, I am offering $100 off in-hospital Fresh 48 sessions! Fresh 48 Sessions are beautiful sessions, done in your hospital room, while you and your family are still on your birth high! Capturing the first few moments of life, swaddling, snuggling, nursing, and getting those fresh new coo’s, squeaks and movements on film! Fresh48 Sessions are beautiful and fun and laid back! Contact me today for more information and book your session by February 17th to reserve your Fresh 48 Session at $100 current pricing!

Tacoma Birth Photographer | And She Loved a Little Boy…   When this momma asked me to photograph a nursing session for her, I was elated. There is nothing more perfect or more beautiful than that of a mother, nursing her child.
