Jaxon is 2!

Posted in baby, baby's first year, family, kids

I know I say it all the time, but one of the best things about my job is watching little ones grow right before my lens. I have been photographing this little guy since he was just a cute belly bump. Then I got to meet him as a newborn, toddler and now full fledged little boy! Jaxon has stolen my heart for sure. He is sweet, smart, funny and has hands down the best little dude hair ever.

He came up to visit me in Newberg last weekend and we had a great time running around the George Fox campus. The same place in fact I did his Mom & Dad’s maternity photos a few years back!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

such a hansom little man! I love his goofy faces too. Mama was very clear we had to capture the scrunched up nose. :)

I just adore this whole family. Such lovely folks!

seriously, his hair is just amazing. I also love his hazel eyes. The sun caught them just perfectly here.

Goofy boy!

how cute are they!

J man loved the stairs too! Kept Mom & Dad running the whole session.

he was also stoked we let him go to town in the puddles. I loved his little dinosaur boots!

and one last smile. Gah he melts me with that smile. :)

Julie & Vince thanks again for trekking all the way up to Newberg for our session. It was wonderful seeing you all again and hanging with your super cool little man. I also have to thank you again for the wicked cool baby gift. My little dude will proudly wear the converse when his feet get big enough (I will post photos, they hooked me up with the cutest baby shoes!). I hope you love the peek so far, much more in the gallery soon!

Baby S is One!

Posted in Uncategorized, baby, baby's first year, family, kids

You remember this charming little dude from the summer right? Well over the past few months baby S has turned into less of a baby and more of a little boy. Still over the top cute, he is now also incredibly charming and fast! He was keeping on my toes for sure this past weekend while we ran around taking photos at McMennamin’s Kennedy School in NE Portland.  It was great to see the whole family, hear about their amazing trip to Turkey this past fall and just hang out.

Check out a few of my favorite’s so far:

Gah that smile kills me, such a charmer!

he is also very much MOBILE, a fast crawler this one.

and so happy, especially when he has his favorite toy the soccer ball near by.  Boy is going to be the next Beckam no doubt about it.

We had fun with the whole family, clearly he is a very loved little dude.

Don’t forget his BFF grandma! These two were adorable together.

:)

Have I mentioned his smile is to die for? Such a charmer!

Again with the soccer ball. I think this one might be my favorite of the set. His eyes are just so stunning here.

And one last photo of the entire family. Such lovely people.

Jessica thanks again for meeting up for photos with little S and the whole family. I am so loving watching him grow up in front of the lens! He is just a darling little man! I hope you have a wonderful winter & spring, I look forward to hanging out with you all again this summer. I am sure by then he will be full on running, it will be a fun one for sure.

Sweet Ruby Tuesday

Posted in Uncategorized, baby, baby's first year, newborns

I have been waiting for the arrival of miss Ruby for a while now. Her mama & papa  happen to be dear friends of mine, and I could not wait to see the perfect baby they would create.  Mary & Chris would not disappoint! Ruby is sweet & sassy for such a little miss, she had me wrapped around her little finger by the end of the session. I can not wait to see her grow up! She also is a very lucky little diva, incredibly loved by her parents and extended family. This little diva already has a huge fan club!

Check out the perfect miss Ruby, isn’t she the most amazing little lady!

I know I always say this, but seriously, I wanted to eat her up. She was so good for me too! We ended up shooting on a super dark dreary rainy Oregon day, but little miss Ruby can light up a room. Cute hat by her loving auntie here.

mama also got into a hat purchasing mode before she arrived. I LOVE this little bear hat! The cuteness is just over the top.

Ruby’s cheeks just killed me too. The chubbiness is just the best!

A huge shout out to Mary & Chris for letting me work on a crazy idea. This holiday wreath was on the door when I arrived and I just ahd to use it. A few baby kicks & a little baby poo later the wreath was a casualty to the cause of cute baby photos. Thanks for letting me try out my idea guys!

Speaking of here are our  new Mom & Dad. Clearly this baby is not adored at all, not one bit. ;) These two are such natural parents already, I just adored watching their interactions!

“ahem guys, hello first baby here too!”

Meet Barley, Ruby’s big brother, a cutie in his own right.

and then they were 3. :)

and just one more of little miss chubby cheeks. I just want to smooch her up!

Mary & Chris thanks again for being patient & letting me capture your little lady. I can not wait to see how she grows up over the next year and beyond. I am betting she has Mom’s stubbornness and Dad’s dry sense of humor, or maybe that is what I am just hoping for! She is just divine! And of course because miss Mary is a self proclaimed blog stalker I have a comment challenge to hook up! If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post you will have two wallet brag books coming your way. Perfect for showing off baby pics around the office. :) So leave some love folks!

Mr. Charming is ONE!

Posted in Uncategorized, baby, baby's first year, family, kids

I have been working with Mr. Charming and his family for a while now. It is always so amazing to see the little ones grow right in front of my lens. Well this last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting up with the family once again to celebrate the little man’s first birthday! I know I say it all the time, but seriously this kid just gets more and more adorable. Keeping me running the whole session and up and down the stairs more than a few times. Really with a smile like his, how could I not love every single moment. :)

his new big boy smile kills me, I just wanted to eat him up he is so sweet!

and so big now! walking and running around the house. No more baby crawling for this little man.

he might be on his way to big boy status, but he still has time to love on daddy.

and snuggles for mama too, even if it was just a super quick stop.

so much love here. :)

including love for the STAIRS! little man loves to climb the stairs, I just had to get a few of him in action. Buddy is fast too!

and one last photo of the whole family. Love, laughs and more love would really sum it up.

Big boy N happy birthday to you little man! I had an amazing year watching you grow! I can not wait to see you again this summer and see how big you can get! I hope you had lots of messy cake after I left. :)

Mama & Dad thanks again for having me in to capture your little man’s first year. It has been a pleasure working with you all, and seeing how the little guy grows. You all are such a lovely family, I look forward to seeing you all for many years to come.

bigger, brighter, and even more beautiful…

Posted in baby, baby's first year, family

I love my job!

Seriously, I get to hang out with beautiful brides, wonderful families, and adorable babies. It is honestly, pretty awesome. One of my favorite parts of my job is watching these little ones grow into little people. I have been photographing miss Layla for over a year now.  First as a wee little baby, then a chubby crawler, now as a full on running giggling little toddler. Seriously this child is CUTE, and now quick. Keeping me on my toes for sure, and loving ever second of it.

Check out Layla & her families most recent session.

Just a few of my favorites so far:
