Gemma at the Bellevue Botanical Garden for a family\/baby photo session.\u00a0 Regrettably dad Zack was not able to make it, but since Gemma was the star of the show anyway it wasn&#8217;t really a problem.<\/p>\n<p>I was the photographer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/tibbetts-creek-wedding-seattle-wedding-photography\/\">Brenda and Zack&#8217;s wedding at Tibbett&#8217;s Creek Manor<\/a> just over two years ago.\u00a0 When Gemma was born ~9 months ago I messaged Brenda to tell her that I was available anytime for a photo session; it took awhile, but we finally were able to set up the time for this session.<\/p>\n<p>We lucked out and had a very nice day with warm conditions and a bit of sunshine, but not so much that it was a squinty situation.\u00a0 Brenda had brought several outfits for Gemma, so she got Gemma dressed and we startd taking photos.<\/p>\n<p>Gemma was initially quite wary of me.\u00a0 She was fully aware that I was not someone who she knew, and refused to give me a smile.\u00a0 But as I talked with her and Brenda, all the while taking photos, Gemma started to warm up a bit.\u00a0 She liked seeing the images of herself and her mother on the back of my camera.\u00a0 Clearly a child who is quite familiar with having her picture taken!<\/p>\n<p>After about a half hour Gemma either decided that I was OK, or that I just no longer qualified as a stranger and I finally got to see her smile!<\/p>\n<p>It was a really fun session.\u00a0 I have a lot of fun photographing babies, and always love doing family photo sessions with couples whose weddings I photographed.\u00a0 It is always interesting to see how their lives have changed since their wedding day, especially when a baby is involved.<\/p>\n<p>Following is a sampling of photos from the session.\u00a0 I hope that you like them!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15600\"
