...Well, well. Goodness me, the summer has FLOWN by...My little tribe and I soaked in all that warm sun, went on lots of adventures and even painted our house! As much as we are already starting to miss summer...With school off to a great start and that cool, refreshing air blowing in...It is getting me all inspired for the full fall ahead.

Hey Mommas. // 2018 Honey+bee(s) Sessions. // Another kind of mini.

February 13, 2018 by Dannie Melissa Wit in Document Life., Maternity., Honeybee Sessions.

Well, hello there.

My oh my has this year gotten off to an amazing start. And, BONUS: The sunshine is making an appearance multiple days in a row!!! I cannot believe how swiftly Spring is approaching, buds on the trees and some early daffodils blooming. These bits of flowers and sun are making me ache for the warmer days ahead AND my annual Spring Honey+bee(s) Event. This year they will be held on Saturday, May 5th.

I LOVE Honeybee sessions. They are my favorite. They happen two times per year in the Autumn + Spring. The autumn sessions are more focused with the whole family in mind. This is the send year that I have offered the Spring sessions.

They are a little different.

They are mainly for mommas.

Please read my letter below sharing a bit of my heart. Calling out to all mommas that are deep in the trenches of motherhood.

North Bend Farm Lifestyle Family Session by Seattle Photographer Dannie Melissa Wit

January 07, 2018 by Dannie Melissa Wit in Document Life.

I often say it. But, I'll say it again. I feel so deeply thankful to be invited to document seasons of people's lives. It is such an honor to preserve these moments. They truly are flashes of what life looks like during a few moments of time. It strikes me again and again how quickly time presses on.

Bainbridge Island Adventure. // Abeille Photography by Dannie Melissa Wit

March 08, 2017 by Dannie Melissa Wit in Document Life., Couples + Engagement.

Okay. I love these two humans.

Jon + Kaylie are literally the kindest most humble people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We have had the honor of getting to know them over the past couple years.

A few weeks ago I had the honor of documenting their love. Gentle rain fell on an overcast day. We took a ride over to Bainbridge Island and took a quiet walk through an amazing garden estate. We had the place (almost) to ourselves as we dodged puddles and swooned over the white crocus' that were reminding us that Spring is near.

For you Mommas. // Honey+bee(s) Sessions. // Another kind of mini.

February 27, 2017 by Dannie Melissa Wit in Document Life., Maternity., Honeybee Sessions.

Dear Mom.

These. Are. For. YOU.

If you're like most moms I know, you probably are the one taking the photos. We always have an excuse, our hair hasn't been brushed in 4 days. We're wearing leggings from the day before with yesterday's breakfast smeared on the rear. Our socks don't match. No make-up. It's been a long day at work. On and on and on.

I'm with you.

Here's the thing though: We need to be in the photos.

It's so important to be present, in-the-frame.

One day we'll look back and our babies are going to be grown. This season is temporary. Our now and always babies will cherish pictures of their momma.

Most of all, photos of them with their mom. Wrapped up in her arms. Sweet nursing moments. Walking hand in hand. Butterfly kisses. These moments. Let's make this happen!!!

I am offering one date in April for you to have that opportunity. We will take a little walk and document you and your babes together. Mom's of older kids, these are for you too!! It's still just as important to be in the frame!

This is open to expecting moms-to-be too!!!

Pioneer Square Family Session. // by Dannie Melissa Wit. // Seattle Family Photographer.

February 22, 2017 by Dannie Melissa Wit in Document Life.

I met these four just after the sun came up in Pioneer Square, while the city was still quiet. We took a little walk, took advantage of some sweet snuggly moments and stopped for some hot chocolate at Zeitgeist Coffee. A perfect little morning outing.

Family Adventure Session. //by Dannie Melissa Wit. //Port Angeles, WA.

February 13, 2017 by Dannie Melissa Wit in Document Life.

Every session has lots of planning that goes into it. Talks about location, wardrobe and timeline. But, there are always so many unknowns. Weather is usually one of those, especially in the Pacific Northwest. I roll with the punches, I actually don't mind the rain. But, sometimes I am so pleasantly surprised that my heart just wants to burst. This was one of those times on a January day, we were showered in sunshine.

Our date booked and I had so much fun documenting each family in all stages of motherhood, pregnant, nursing, arms full of littles to walking alongside their teenagers...it really gets me all misty eyed when I look at all the images together.

Oh what a joy it was to venture into the woods with these sweet darlings to capture their anticipation as they eagerly awaited the arrival of their little guy.
