I got together with Jackie and her husband Matthew to photograph their two adorable daughters and to do a newborn session with their new baby, 2 week old Calvin. We had quite the unusual shooting location, though..we did the family shots around Lincoln Square in Bellevue, then went to Lucky Strikes Bowling Lanes for the newborn shoot. Jackie’s sister is a manager at the bowling alley, so we had free reign over the place for our shoot. It was awesome!

Meet Alison…


..Ella…


..and little Calvin!

He’s already a little “playa”.









Baby Spit Bubbles!!!

Jackie really wanted this shot of the whole family’s hands on the new baby. So sweet!


Ok, don’t freak out about this next shot…I promise we weren’t abusive in any way! Since Jackie’s sister is the manager at the bowling alley, we asked her to open up the claw game at the arcade to get some fun shots. We didn’t lock it, and the baby was safe the whole time.
This is how Jackie explains to the girls where babies come from. Not the stork, but the claw game…

Anybody wanna win a baby?
