A while back I got a call from a very sweet new Mama in awe of her new baby and wanting to capture every bit of it before the tiny and newness of it all slipped away. I told her that normally I do not travel as far as Corvallis, and normally we only do newborn sessions with babies under 2 weeks old. But this mama, well she knew what she wanted and she talked me into it. And I am SO glad she did. The whole family was a joy to work with, and little baby T was an absolute love. Working on these images today made me smile all over again.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
Check out little miss. Such a sweet baby. And those eyes, gah she melted me!
All the details of her room and space were tender and so thoughtfully put together. Complete with hand knit bunny made with love by mama.
Mom & Dad spent some time in South America in the peace core and had some beautiful woven scarves and blankets. I loved working them in to the precocious baby photos.
Check out that face, such a sweet little girl.
Not many 6 weeks old would let me do my normal newborn moving and handling.
After a little while little miss woke up and blessed us with her amazing eyes again. So we packet up the family and headed outside into the beautiful weather.
The families yard is also beautiful, and perfect for photos. I love this set, clearly this little girl will have no shortage of affection.
I wanted to capture some of the details of the yard too, if little miss is anything like her parents she will be spending lots of time outdoors loving nature.
This shot might be my favorite of the whole family.
And one last shot of sweet little baby fingers handling the lovingly made beaded necklace made by her mama’s family and friends.
Bonnie, thanks so much for convincing me to come down to Corvallis. I had a wonderful time meeting you and your sweet family. Your little lady is quite the charmer! I hope you are all doing well and enjoyed the sneak peek. I will have the whole set for you very soon. I am so looking forward to capturing your little girl as she grows throughout the next year. Of course as a new client I have to issue the blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will throw in a darling little wallet brag book on the house.

These are such gorgeous photos that I can’t even begin to say which is my favorite!! I love how they are interwoven with meaningful objects such as the labor necklace and Bolivian blanket. I’d love to have baby photos like these!
These pictures are just so lovely and warm. They capture the baby & the lifestyle of her family & home. There are so many good ones, I can’t choose! Well done !!
We love these! So beautiful

Sheila
I’m glad to see you found her missing toes!
Our favorite is the first, followed by the feet! Memorable family photos…very natural and warm.
I loved seeing your beautiful baby pictures and you both loving parents. Your Mom was my adopted daughter during her stay at the kibbutz, and we are still in contact. Seeing you girls grow up, marry and have children, brings me tears of happiness for you, and the “grandparents”. May you have only “pleasures” from your daughter.
Talia is so precious. Can’t wait to meet her.
Love,
Aunt Bev
Such a beautiful baby! The photography is great.
These are incredible!!
These are the most beautiful baby photos I have ever seen. Bonnie, Matt and Talia found the best photographer ever! (And that’s saying a lot because Grandma is one super photographer.)
Enjoy that little one. Love from Grandma’s friend Helene
Beautiful photos–serene and lovely atmosphere–
Enjoy your little “precious one”

Hello Beautiful Talia!
I can see the difference from the newborn photos. Watch her – she is growing up fast!!! And each stage you will enjoy and marvel over. I hope I get to meet Talia in person some day. But since we are a continent apart, please send lots of pictures.
Love to all
Freda
She’s amazing! I feel so lucky to know Talia and her family! Beautiful shots!
We just got back from Switzerland and so are just seeing these pictures. They are wonderful! I love them all – and am very interested to find outmore about the necklace your family and friends made… and of course can’t wait to meet Talia.
Glad to hear things are going smoothly. Wish were all weren’t so spreadout across the country!! Missing you all.
gorgeous parents, baby and yard! congratulations, can’t wait to meet her!
Tender love says it all! The shots are a testament to the love within your family and we enjoyed them very much. Hope to meet Talia soon.
What gorgeous photos! All three of you look happy and peaceful
I am hoping to make it back to the US during the summer of 2011. Would love to drop in and see you, and meet Talia, if it is possible.
