Kaelynn : Pasco Child Photography

Did I mention how much I love, love, love getting to see how my newborns have grown up? Well I do. Love it. Just about a year ago I photographed little Kaelynn. Now here she is 14-months-old and still the apple of her parent’s eye, or perhaps I should say peach!

Enjoy!

Sadie & Hazel : Moses Lake Child Portraits

Sandy Summers Russell — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:52:56 +0000

Cousins, kittens, and cutie pies; oh my! Talk about a precocious combination. I recently got to check in with the always adorable Sadie Mae and her 8-month-old cousin Hazel. You all last saw Hazel at her Summerland newborn session. Hasn’t she changed! She’s got two teeth now, and she’s sitting up on her own. I’m thinking big beautiful eyes and some serious cheekbone action must run in the family. By the way, miss Sadie isn’t just a big cousin, soon she’ll also be a big sister! Keep an eye out for her momma’s maternity session I shot this weekend, and, of course, the coming newborn session scheduled for next month. August is just full of newborns. I can’t wait!

Welcome Baby Pearce: Moses Lake Newborn Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:41:41 +0000

My oh my is it a busy month. Get ready for a ton of posts because my summer is just packed with sessions. If you’re looking to book, I only have a few spots left in September, so contact me soon so you can snag one of those before they’re gone!

Let’s start off this mad dash with the adorable newborn boy Pearce. This handsome fellow and his family were, as always, such a joy to work with. I love doing newborn sessions in the warmer months because I often get to take these little guys outside and try something different. Isn’t the shot in the grass divine? You can’t see it, but I’m doing the happy photographer dance over it. On second thought, it’s probably best you can’t see that, lol.

Enjoy!

Katy : Othello Maternity Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 05:23:35 +0000

Meet the lovely Katy. She and her husband are expecting their first child in August. I know what they’re having, but I’m not telling. You’ll just have to wait until next month after I show off their newborn session. Katy and I actually share a few things in common. We’re both mostly city girls who married a farmer and moved to a small town. And she’s adventurous. She had no problem heading out to some beautiful but remote scenery to get these awesome photos despite being almost eight months pregnant. It was so worth it though, don’t you think?

Miss “H” : Kennewick Child Portraits

Sandy Summers Russell — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 04:53:04 +0000

Meet the lovely Miss “H”. I love these photos. They look like freedom and summer and childhood. You’d never guess by looking at them that we’ve been getting so much rain lately. In fact, it’s that very rain that turned this session into a two-part production. Miss “H” so wanted to go outdoors, but the day of her portrait session was raining cats and dogs. We still got lovely photographs, but we decided to break it in half and shoot the rest of it on a sunnier day. I’m so glad we did because I think the final results are truly special.

Enjoy!

Shaysta: Moses Lake Senior Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 05:20:53 +0000

Perhaps you remember miss Shaysta from earlier in the year. We did a quick senior portrait session to make the Moses Lake High School yearbook deadline. We’ll now that’s it’s finally warmed up, we got to go out and tear it up for the rest of her session. Not only did Shaysta bring her welding helmet (check out the flames), but she brought along her boyfriend for a few snaps too. I fondly call that last image of the two of them “Love in the Apocalypse.” Hehe.

The “V” Family : Prosser Family Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Sun, 23 May 2010 20:08:00 +0000

I’ve got just one word for this family: adorable! Of course, come to think of it, I could also add sweet, fun, and charming to their list. Their daughter (check out those perfect strawberry blond curls) just turned one year old, and this summer she’ll become a big sister to a brand new baby brother. We photographed the session in their family’s working Concord grape vineyard. I just love getting to incorporate a family’s heritage into their photographs. It makes the photos just that much more special.

Enjoy!

Kimberly : WSU Senior Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:31:25 +0000

Meet the fabulous miss Kimberly an Othello, Wash. native. She’s graduating this year from Washington State University with a Math Degree. That’s right folks, brains and beauty; a deadly combination. What’s next for Kimberly? She’s off to an internship at Hanford followed by grad school. Watch out world, this girl is going places!

Welcome Baby Chloe : Dayton Newborn Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 04:24:41 +0000

If you’ve ever checked out my fine art and landscape work, you’ll notice my love affair with old barns and rural buildings. Imagine my delight when I found out I’d get to mix that with a recent newborn session. Nor did I have to go far to do so. Little Chloe’s family had one right next to their house! I am so jealous.

What a darling little ray of sunshine Chloe is. She is such a pretty baby, and it was my honor to capture some of her very first images.

The “O” Family : Tri-Cities Family Photography

Sandy Summers Russell — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 03:19:01 +0000

What’s better than one adorable baby? How about two! I’ve photographed twins before, but this is my first time photographing two baby cousins, so it was super fun. You sure can see what a difference only a few short months make in a baby’s development.
