Seattle Family Photographer

I was eager to be this families Seattle Family Photographer. I could not wait to get them in front of my lens. This was one of those situations where we just kept missing each other. Try as we might to connect – we could not manage. Then finally like rays of sunshine through dark clouds we finally connected and made it work!

I was so glad – they were every bit worth the effort.

Seattle Birth Photographer

Spring Birth in Seattle from Tilly Goble on Vimeo.

There is something beautiful about birth that can be turned upside down in a matter of minutes. Aside from all the scary things we hear about child birth, there is a loss of choice. This is my biggest frustration with birth today. There is a culture of Birth Wars; those who choose a C-Section, those who choose a Natural Hospital or a Home Birth. I am an activist for all births… I just love babies coming into the world healthy and happy. I am equally an activist for choice; letting a Mother choose her birth story for her child.

This Mom was a fighter for her child before she came into the world. I hope this Mom goes on to educate and tell her amazing story. She elected for reasons of her own to have a planned C-Section in a Seattle Metro hospital. This Mom was fierce, courageous and strong in her convictions for how that baby was going to be brought into the world. This Mom brought on the doula from her first birth to help her navigate this type of birth as well had a birth plan she spent time writing and educating herself about. She asked that it be read by her doctors. She asked that her baby be placed on her chest immediately after the birth – no warmer, no tests… just straight to Mom’s heart. This is against hospital policy but she fought and asked that her healthy baby be with her. This baby went straight to mom’s loving arms after she was born. It was a beautiful, peaceful and amazing day. A C-Section that is personal and warm – it can be done.

Having an advocate there by your side of course would help a lot. Jennifer Tippie Quesada, of Natural Blessings Doula Services, was there every step of the way for this Mom. She was also a second shooter for this day. If you are looking for a Seattle Birth Photographer, you have found one; and if you are looking for a wonderful Doula, Jennifer is taking appointments.

Seattle Family Photographer

This wonderful family welcomed me into their home, which was hugged by our very own Lake Washington.  The home is modest and warm. Upon entry you were greeted with giggles of happy little girls.  With every photo shoot is an equally brave and stressed Mom; every photo session I do.  It is my personal goal that by the end of every shoot they feel just a bit more comfortable. If you have kids, you have been that Mom. I am a photographer, but I cried before my family’s first shoot – I was a mess! This mom was nothing like me; no crying, just relaxed and ready.

This Seattle family was waiting for their photographer. The eldest daughter was just a little ham for the camera – completely at ease and ready for the ‘click’, and a smile that went for miles. The youngest was… well, independent and unfazed by the crazy lady with the camera. It was fun watching her mind work as she went about her day. I have the pleasure to introduce you to the C Family.

The day started pretty sketchy – a day that challenges even the most well adjusted Seattleite.  Then walks in the Seattle Family Photographer from Arizona…. It poured down rain, wind blew almost every cherry blossom off the trees, clouds rolled in and rolled out, the sun would break through with ferocity, then a bite in the air would turn even the devil’s nose red! But this family was ready for their family portraits and undeterred by mother nature.

As luck would have it (this happens every time!) the sky was perfect for us. I have some seriously crazy luck when it comes to weather.

We decided to meet at Seward Park in Seattle. Family Photos were a Go! This amazing group came with the most perfect attitude – what will be will be, let’s have some fun!  My kind of folks!

You have to love a photo shoot that starts with, “Tillie meet Tilly”. Yes I had the pleasure to meet a legit Tillie, nope it is not short for anything! I got to meet a true and genuine Tillie and she was delightful!

I  usually pride myself in these situations,  blow on the tips of my fingers and brush off a shoulder, when it comes to coaxing kids to play nice in front of the camera.  I make sounds, I coo, I jump up and down and act crazy even sometimes. But this cute little one was just a bit too sophisticated for me- she taught me a thing or two that day about how to really have fun in a more natural way.  She ran a yoga class for Mom and Dad, played in the grass and climbed on Dad’s shoulders. She smiled with a genuine freshness that even Spring got a little jealous that day.
