Sarah needed an updated head shot and my goodness she is gorgeous!

Oh little Sophia! My how she has grown. The last time I saw her she was just a few days old. She sure has grown so fast (like they all do.) but she’d still adorable and my goodness those eyes are CRAZY blue just like her mamas!

This session was one of those sessions where you say “oh man! It’s lovely out! We should do photos today” you make plans, then the day sort of turns sour and rainy. They were still up for it though. So, just keep in mind there is a light sprinkle going on the whole time. I think despite the rain we got some great photos but I am still up for another mini session right before Ken leaves. :) As long as it’s a little more dry.

5 seconds later she was fine

Then we met up a few weeks later when it wasnt raining.

I offer a few OPLove type pre deployment sessions a month. If you’re interested in something here at JBLM please dont hesitate to contact me. hilary@hilarymercer.com

This part of Washington is FULL of military. Samantha and her family are one of the many EOD families that had a deployment coming up. She has also become one of my good friends since we have made the move cross country. So when she asked if I could take these important images I was thrilled and nervous seeing as how Samantha is also a photographer. She has the most adorable little guys and a husband that doesn’t like taking photos. Though, I don’t know why Travis… I think you look great. I know Samantha does too.

His face here cracks me up. There is a happy child.

BOOM! Samantha is hot!Samantha, this deployment will hopefully fly by. You know you’ve got us if you need us. Travis, I’d say the same but I’m no good at sending packages. ;)

So glad I am doing this 365 project.  Its enabled me to do a lot more themed shots than I normally would. :) Valentines Day was pretty fun for me.and I ended the holiday with a maternity session.

• She was a little hesitant at first.
• Then she was all about it.
• Next, she didnt want to move because she was covered in frosting.
• Mom started to eat some too then she was ok and happy again.

It was the first cake smash Ive ever done and it was so much fun watching her do something she had never done before. Made me quite excited for my own little guys one year photos coming up so soon.

Anna is my adorable little neighbor. Ive been wanting to have a session with her since she was a wee little one but now she is all grown up and kissing boys. Yes, those boys might be only my 5 month old son..but she at least has great taste! She loves her baby Jack!
