    Sweet Talia at 6 months

    I am not going to pontificate much today. My entire family has been battling the flu, and I am rushing trying to get out last moment holiday print orders. Oh and there is the small matter of our own holiday cards and gifts to attend too. Either way it is nuts in the G household these days, but I just had to share a few from my session with the always adorable and sweet little Talia. You remember her baby session in corvallis a few months back right? Well she is back and even more adorable than ever.

    Here are a few quick favorites so far:

    So big already!

    Mama made this hat, how cool is that.

    This one is hands down my favorite of the day. :)

    Such a sweet family.

    Bonnie and Matt thanks again for trekking all the way up to Newberg and being down with all of my ideas. I have the whole gallery almost finished and will be sending you that info again shortly. :)

    Liam the king of cute

    While I always love meeting new people, one of the other  best parts of my job is being able to capture special times in friends & loved ones lives. I have know Jaime for a long, long time. It was my honor to capture her wedding not too long ago, then her beautiful belly, then visit her in the hospital when a certain little one arrived. Well of course Mr. Liam the king of cute got his own special photo session. Gah I love the newborns, even if the make me work for it. All of the shushing and rocking paid off, I am really pleased with the photos we came out with.

    Here are a few of my favorites:

    such a beautiful boy!

    those little feet get me every time.

    Such an alert boy for only 1 week old too.

    His beautiful mama.

    Such a smoochable face too.

    :)

    I love the way Will talks to him too, you can tell these two are going to be close.

    The whole family.

    Clearly there is no shortage of love here.

    Liam welcome to the world, I can not wait to see you grow up. Pretty soon I am sure you and my Giffin will be wrestling and running around the house. I can’t wait!

    Erica + Mike + Banks!

    You may remember a certain little squishy faced baby last year, well baby Banks is having his first birthday! He is such an adorable big boy, I can not believe it was just last year we were doing his first session! Banks being one is not the only reason to celebrate, there is also a very important wedding of a certain Mommy & Daddy coming up next month! So to celebrate all the big events and joy going around we arranged another session this time outside in the beautiful fall weather. Erica & Mike were great sports tromping through the weeds and bugs with me. We had a great time, and Banks ran his little tush off. Here are a few of my favorites from our first year/family/engagement session.

    Check out the big birthday boy!

    The whole lovely family, smiles all around. :)

    Erica and Mike are pretty adorable just on their own.

    Banks is even cuter these days, who knew that was possible.

    We had fun running around can you tell.

    I can not wait to shoot their wedding next month!

    I just know it is going to be a super fun event.

    And one last shot of the star of the show. Gah that smile kills me!

    Erica & Mike thanks for joining me out on the trail, and for the Latte! You guys are the best. I am so looking forward to your wedding next month! Of course I know how you love the blog challenges. If you can get 30 comments on the blog I will throw in your choice of an 11×14 or another set of wallet brag books. :) So leave some love people.

    Airplanes & puppies

    If you are a blog reader of mine you might remember a certain adorable baby this time last year, and then a charming little dude this past winter. Well the S man is back, and literally more adorable than before, if that is possible. I met up with the Mr. S and his adorable family at a beautiful park in Lake Oswego for portraits and ended up having a great time laughing about a certain some-one’s obsession with airplanes and puppies.

    Here are a few of my favorites from our day:

    Such a big boy already!

    Getting a little love from Mama. You can see where he got his beautiful smile.

    Don’t be fooled he is not posing for me, he is checking out the “PUPPY!” behind me.

    Gah that smile is killer!

    And those sparkly eyes.

    We even got Gran into the mix.

    Clearly Grandma is well loved. :)

    The park we used for the session had a beautiful little outlook over the river. Such a great spot.

    We also got to do some fun reflection shots using the wading pool. Perfect on a hot night.

    Is there anything better than a full on belly laugh?

    And one more smile, gah he kills me.

    Jessica and family, thanks again for meeting up with me and sharing your darling boy. He is still quite the charmer, I have just loved watching him grow! I hope you have enjoyed your sneak peek, I will have the whole gallery up very soon for you. Until then shall we have a little blog challenge? If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post, I will throw in a darling little brag book on the house. So leave some love folks!

    tender love in corvallis

    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.
