It’s a super special thing to photograph a little one.  Seeing the light and freshness in their eyes is so incredible.  I was lucky enough to recently take some images of little Parker and his mom Jen on an afternoon in Seattle.  Watching him navigate his movement and quizzically play with my camera was so […]
