This is a little story about the time I got owned by a six month old. I’m pretty proud of the fact that I’ve only ever had to do one re-shoot in my six years as a photographer (a newborn… it happens). I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make kids relax in...
It’s really interesting to meet so many new families and experience how various babies react to being in front of the camera. Some are all smiles… some are super serious… some are interested in anything BUT me… others totally ham it up. [There are also really special ones who go through all those emotions in...
Maya’s family basically left me speechless when explaining how they found Miss Freddy. “I saw my coworker’s family photos displayed in his office and asked ‘where did you have those taken? I MUST have some for my family too’!” Come on…. the ULTIMATE compliment! (((blushing so hard))) There are so many things I love about that...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. photographing babies who are happy and not yet mobile is absolutely THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD. And sweet, sweet Olivia made my job easy. She was a jumble of smiles and silly facial expressions. She was happy in tummy time, sitting unassisted and especially being lifted...
The second annual spring mini sessions were a hit! The weather can be so iffy in March so I almost didn’t offer them (that’s a lot of pressure on the forecast & a pain to reschedule so many families… lesson learned last fall!) But, we tested fate and won. It was a (mostly) dry day in Bellevue...
This little girl may look sweet, but she sure gave her Momma a heck of a time on her way out! Poor thing had to postpone photos because of an extended hospital stay after nerve damage caused her to lose feeling in her legs (thankfully temporarily, but still for a couple of weeks)! When I...
Little Gavin & Silas stole my heart at their six month photo session last summer. Then in the blink of an eye it was fall and I was taking their one year photos. Dang, how quickly that first year flies! [All the reason to document it with professional photos!] I met up with these two buddies...
All the talk this week of winter blizzards has me thinking of warm, summer days again. (Although if I’m being honest, I would totally love a snow day here in Seattle… I’m jealous of my east coast friends!) So if you’re dreaming of warm sunny days as well, here’s a fun session from awhile ago…...
It’s a brand new year so it seems appropriate for my first featured session of 2016 to be a brand new baby! This newborn session was unlike any of my others and ultimately became one of my favorites of all time. Little Rory (Aurora) was older than my usual newborn clients so we opted to do a more...
Oh, you guys… it was such a wonderfully busy fall season for Miss Freddy! A record-setting 47 sessions (dang!). Here are the seventeen beautiful families I photographed for my tree farm mini sessions in November. You may notice there’s a wide variety in these images because what initially was ONE day of minis ultimately ended up as SEVEN different...
Oh, it’s been so much fun to watch this kiddo grow up! From maternity, to newborn, to six months to ONE WHOLE YEAR OLD! The first year is the BEST to photograph because the kids change so dramatically between sessions! [Sidenote: Curious about the timing I recommend for professional photos of your baby? Read my recommendations...
It’s not often that I get to photograph babies who don’t fall into the typical newborn-6 month-12 months pattern so when Ella’s mom reached out and wanted to schedule family photos, I was excited to meet Ella (4 months old) and shake things up a little bit! We got together at Lincoln Park over Labor Day...
Jillian, You are one whole year old now, baby girl! And I know it’s cliche, but I have no idea where the time went. I really feel like it was just yesterday that I was passing my due date and waiting for your arrival. What a year it’s been, baby girl! It seems every time we’re...
Photographing the one year session for my First Year Package clients is always bittersweet. I get so spoiled seeing them 3-4 times in a year and I’m sad that frequency most likely will not continue, but I’m also SO EXCITED to see how much they’ve changed since their six month session. The change in that...
Jillian, You are eleven months old now, baby girl! That means there’s only one onesie left in the box. Whew. I can’t go there right now. Because, in this moment, I just want to cherish every last drop of you as an infant (you’ll be my baby forever, but I believe the term infant officially expires on...
Jillian, You are ten months old now, baby girl! And these were definitely the hardest photos to capture yet! I put you in your monthly onesie, laid you down onto the usual blanket and instantly you were OFF! Crawling away before I could even lock my camera focus. (You can crawl on your knees now,...
Oh, it was such a pleasure to meet this sweet family! At one year old, little Miss Delphine has a mature presence that has you believing she is wise beyond her years. It’s obvious, already, that her future is going to be bright! Perhaps it’s those stunning blue eyes… We got together at (my favorite)...
I can hardly believe it. Charlie is already 6 months old! Didn’t I JUST take his newborn photos? That head of red hair is the best! [Although I may be biased as I married a red head and have a strawberry blond baby boy of my own!] I met this sweet guy and his two big sisters at...
I’ve said before that six months is my favorite age to photograph. It’s so much fun when they’re smiley & not yet mobile! So, you can imagine I was excited (x 2!!!) when I got to photograph Silas & Gavin, six month old twin boys! We met at Lincoln Park a few weeks ago. Here...
Oh, sweet Scarlett. This little peanut changed SO much since I last saw her at three months old! We got together to celebrate her first birthday at The Arboretum. This was my first photo session there… a really great location! How perfect that the blooming azaleas perfectly matched the family… I wonder if Mom did...

Actually, my name is Casey. As a newborn I resembled Fred Flintstone so my parents nicknamed me Freddy and it stuck. I am a professional photo organizer (yes, that's a thing!) who helps people all over the world make sense of their photo mess through organizing services and self-paced online courses.
I want to help you ENJOY your photos again!
