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.

Here's a little recap of last fall's HoneyBee Sessions. These are mini-sessions with a lot of heart.
These sessions take place twice a year in the Spring and Autumn.
Here's a little glimpse of this year's goodness. Cheers!
Oh goodness what a lovely group of Honeybee Sessions we had this fall. As I'm winding down for my annual Christmas Vacation to spend time with my family, it is fun to reflect on all growth 2016 has brought. These events are such a joy of mine and I am so thankful for all the returning new and returning faces year after year.

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.

The first new days of soaking in your precious little one. They are foggy and exhausting yet so utterly sweet. Once all the fog clears the newborn creases have often faded also. It's easy to forget the sweet details.

Last month while in Port Townsend I met this lovely family on a windy morning and we explored their favorite beach. I've worked with Alisha on projects in the past, she is an incredibly talented hair and make-up artist as well as painter. Jump over and check out her work HERE.

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!!!
Read MorePioneer Square Family Session. // by Dannie Melissa Wit. // Seattle Family Photographer.
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.
Read MoreFamily Adventure Session. //by Dannie Melissa Wit. //Port Angeles, WA.
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.

This past fall I brought back Honeybee Sessions. I love them so much as they are a fun way to end the year. It was so much fun to see many familiar and new faces! We had just about every weather type happen during our sessions, pouring rain, overcast, sun breaks, ice and sunshine! It's amazing the different beauty changes in light and weather can make the same beautiful location look.

We kept it simple. Soaked in their neighborhood. Spent time in their favorite coffee shop. Ate dinner. Played. Bedtime snuggles. It was such a joy to document what their life looked like -right now- at this moment.
