I can not believe this little guy is almost 2! We started out with a wee little guy way back when, then a crawler, then a toddler. Now he is all BOY! Keeping me on my game, and running the show Mr. Charming is back and more adorable than ever. I just adore this whole family, especially Mr. N. We had good time running around a local nature preserve and chatting about how the wold has changed in the last year.
Here are a few of my favorites from our session:


Check out his “shovel” he is crafty this one.

Ah that sweet smile is so worth it! 



As all “almost 2 year olds” Mr. N is go go go! 
And one last image of the whole family. Thanks again guys for coming out to my side of town and romping around the park with me. I had a great time seeing you all again! Mr. N is huge these days, and still just as charming.
I will of course have the whole set for you all very soon.

I love Autumn, the crisp air, the changing leaves, the color palette, all of it. I especially love Autumn weddings. I had the honor of capturing Jody & Mike’s early October wedding in one of Oregon’s most beautiful wedding venues just a few weeks ago. We lucked into some amazing weather, and even better times. Jody and Mike were wonderful to work with. I had a great time meeting all of their friends and family on the big day. Their wedding had the perfect m of elegance, class and fun.
Here are few of my favorites so far:
