Evan is One!

Just before the holidays I had the pleasure of spending my morning with the always lovely Curtis family. I love it when I get the opportunity to see kids get bigger and families grow in front of my lens. This session was to celebrate Mr Evan turning one, my what a year it has been! You may remember a certain adorable big sister from her own first year session, and then a sweet little newborn this time last year. These kids are silly, smart, lovely, and always full of energy! Evan & Emery kept me on my toes for this session, made me work for each smile, but it was all worth it!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session:

Kristi thanks for meeting me in town at the studio! It was great to see you all again, and play with the kids again. I can not believe your sweet little newborn baby is now a BOY! It was so fun to see the kids together. As you know I am a lover of all things blog contest. As usual if you can get 30 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a set of lovely little brag books on the house.

Evan & Devin the big day!

I just adore Evan & Devin.

From our first meeting over a glass of wine to the last photo of their big day they were nothing short of fabulous to work with. These two have that special, mixture of completely in love, and cheese ball antics that was so fun to capture. You might remember our fun rural engagement session not too long ago. Well just a few short weeks ago they made things official with a lovely intimate ceremony & reception at the always beautiful Portland Art Museum. We used downtown Portland as the backdrop for some fun photos, and celebrated this wonderful couple. It was such an amazing event! The Crumpacker ballroom was the perfect location for their Alice in Wonderland inspired reception too. I could go on and one really, lets get to the images shall we. 🙂

Evan + Devin = Love

Evan, Devin and I have been talking for quite a while not about their October commitment ceremony at the beautiful Portland Art Museum. I love my job, talking about flowers, food & reception details over wine and cheese with fabulous clients, it just does not get much better! I am so looking forward to their fall event, it is going to be amazing!

So in preparation for the big day we went out a few weeks ago and did some engagement photos. We wanted to get an outdoors feel as the ceremony portraits will be quite urban. We headed out to Champogne State Park on a beautiufl early summer evening. I even got to play with the furry family members. 🙂

 

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

 

Devin & Evan thanks again for trekking out to see me again. I am so looking forward to capturing your big day! As always I love to offer my new clients a blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 mounted print on the house. I hope you are having a great holiday weekend! I will have the entire gallery for you very soon.

Happy First Birthday PW!

Warning, serious cuteness ahead!

I feel like I say it all the time, but it really feels like just yesterday I was capturing Evan & Devin’s fabulous big day, and now their baby girl is turning one! Of course she was perfect in the studio last year for her newborn session, then outside for her 6 month session, but she was extra fun this year for her one year session. There were tutus, tiaras, balloons, pigtails and even a yummy cake! From this family I should have expected nothing less, I love these guys.

Check out the cuteness!

Ev & Dev it was a pleasure to capture your darling baby girl as she grew this year, and I look forward to many more years with your cute faces in-front of my camera! PW is perfectly perfect, and you all make such a beautiful family. I can not wait to see how fun she will be with even more time!

I will be done with the whole set soon!

PW is 6 months!

PW as she is know by her friends and fans is pretty much the coolest 6 month old around. She is already so cute, smart and of course wildly brilliant. Just ask her Daddy & Papa, she is perfect, and well I have to agree. We hung out a few weeks ago and had a grand time trying to crawl and eat grass, discussing the virtues of mashed bananas and tutus. Girlfriend has is going on and she knows it, my kinda girl.

It should also be said I love, love, love this family. The love I have for these guys started when the duo hired me to shoot their engagement session and big day. The whole thing was a whirl wind of fun. We also did a bump session last year, and of course a full blown newborn session when the little princess arrived. It really is my pleasure to capture such big milestones for this wonderful family. 🙂

Phoenix was grand to capture again as you can see…

Evan & Devin thanks again for having me out to capture your darling girl and family. I adore you guys, you know this, but that baby girl steals my heart every time. I am so happy for you guys and your wonderful family. And can you guys what is next?! Yes you can, el blog comment contest. You know how is goes, 30 comments = cute brag books of cute little baby girl photos. So leave some love folks!
