I have been wanting to do a session in a diner or some sort of fun shop for months now and Stacey was up for it. Yay! We had planned on taking her family out for a scoop of the best handmade ice cream in town. Come Saturday and Seattle’s first official day of sunshine in 2 months, everyone had the same idea. After switching up our location to make sure we got some great images, we headed over to Molly Moon’s and waited in the longest line I have ever seen for ice cream. I was drooling over the scent of those waffle cones! We also horsed around in Archie McPhee’s, where she so graciously donned a horse mask for me.

Stacey has been a great client of mine. It was just last year that I did her maternity and newborn photographs for her second baby, and now here she is awaiting her third, a little girl. I’m so stinkin’ excited for her! As a mother of 2 boys with no plans for a third, I have somewhat mourned the fact that I won’t have a daughter of my own. I love my boys, don’t get me wrong. I LOOOOVE them. And absolutely love being the mother to two. When I see other mom’s of boys I like to observe them, in a very non-stalkerish way, and picture myself and my boys at those ages. It warms my heart to no avail. Yet still, I guess I have a dream of having a daughter to shop with or french braid her hair… Having the opportunity to watch this family as they await their daughter is a good fix. I can’t wait to photograph her. Maybe she’ll have enough hair for a teeny tiny braid…
