I love working with family’s, especially when they are adorable and up for anything. It is also especially fun when I get to shoot around my own home town. The G family contacted me a few months back. Karen had seen my work up in a local coffee shop and wanted to schedule a session to celebrate her daughter’s first birthday. We lucked into a break in the rainy weather last weekend and had a great time shooting around town and their neighborhood. The whole family was lovely, but little Serena stole the show with her super sparkly eyes and delicious smile.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
See I told you they are adorable.
Miss Serena was so good for me, just look at those baby blues! 
I always love a beautiful mama & baby shot.
They were champs for me sitting in a slightly soggy field.
After shooting around their neighborhood we ran down to the local University. Karen spent her undergrad years here so it was nice to visit the place and use some of the lovely spots as a back drop.
Serena is clearly excited about fall too! 
She is pure adorableness!
Cheese ball of cuteness!
Little miss is such a character! 
And one last shot of the whole family. Karen thanks for braving the weather and coming out to meet me. I had a great time with your whole family! I hope you all had a lovely birthday weekend, and Serena got some more cake! I will have the whole set for you very soon! For now lets get going on a blog challenge shall we? If you can get 25 people to comment on this post there is a free mini wallet brag book in it for you on the house. So leave some love people.

Susie and Richard were a joy to work with. From our first meeting (me with my big pregnant belly, them with their cute toddler), then our fun fall engagement session, and then at the walk through I just had a lovely time with this family. It helps that they are two of the nicest people in the Portland area too. Maricar and I had an amazing time shooting their fun and elegant wedding in Downtown Portland. The details were all so well thought out, thanks in part to the super awesome Cindy of Encore Events. She and her team were fantastic! Also the folks at Vibrant Table did amazing food and flowers for the day. For real, tamales and the bouquet were amazing! All in all it was a stunning day.
Here are a few (ha I know, many) of my favorites from the big day:
Susie & Richard (and Maya!) thanks again for having me out to capture your day. You two are so lovely, I hope you had a great honeymoon! I will have the whole gallery up very soon. If any friends or family members would like the link when it is ready please leave a comment below.
