Airplanes & puppies

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

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!

My new bff

Posted in Uncategorized, family, kids

Meet Sofie…

She is sweet, funny, smart, beautiful, hilarious and a great hand holder. Yep I think she just might be my new best friend. :)

I had a lovely time hanging out with her mom & dad as well last week in the Sellwood district of Portland. A beautiful night with an adorable family, I really do have the best job ever. Sofie is a charmer, and was a doll in front of the camera!

Sofie’s whole family was just as lovely.

Clearly these three have no shortage of love for eachother.

Have I mentioned how cute she is?

Sophie also has some killer eye lashes, I love how this one shows them off.

She also has a little diva in her, I do believe this one cost mom and dad a chocolate milk.  A girl after my own heart.

We also got a few of Mom & Dad. Sofie art directed this one.

Like I said, we had fun!

Miss Sofie is a perfect mix of beautiful mom and hansom daddy.

And one last photo of the beautiful family all together in some delicious light.

Lisette thanks again for having me out to capture your darling little girl and whole family. I had a great time with all of you! I hope you have enjoyed your sneak peek, I have so much more to show you very soon! As a new client of course I have to throw down a blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will throw in a lovely little wallet brag book on the house. So leave some love people.

Emery is one!

Posted in baby, family, kids

Just last week I had the pleasure of hanging out with Kristi, Robert and Emery at one of my favorite spots in the entire Portland area. McMinnaminns’ Edgefield is a fun place to hang, especially with an adorable One year old & her cute family. We had a lovely time walking the grounds and talking babies. You see miss Emery is not only just turning One, a huge deal, but she is also going to be a big sister this winter! Exciting stuff. Mom Kristi wanted to celebrate this fun time of life with a photo session in a fun place, of course I was thrilled to be the one to capture it.

Here are a few of my favorites from our time:

Miss Emery is so cute and full of personality!

She is also quite a family of her Daddy, check out the smooches here. :)

The whole family is lots of wiggly giggly fun, the wiggling was mostly on Emery’s part of course.

At Edgefield in one of the gardens we spotted a red door that Miss Emery fell in LOVE with. She could have spent hours opening and closing the thing. It cracked me up, but man we got some good smiles!

Check out that smile! This one might be my favorite of the whole lot. :)

The whole family got in on the red door action.

Miss E is also a fan of the puddles can you tell!

Again that cute smile kills me. Here is the birthday girl with her favorite blankie. I love her wiggly toes here.

Weeee!

And one last shot of the whole family. So cute.

Kristi & Robert thanks for having me along to “your spot” and sharing your darling girl with me. She was a joy to capture. I hope you love your sneak peek so far. I will have the whole set for you very soon! And of course as new clients I have to throw down the blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will throw in a cute little wallet brag book on the house! So leave some love people.

tender love in corvallis

Posted in baby, baby's first year, kids

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.

perfect house, perfect light, perfect family

Posted in Uncategorized, family, kids

I know I say it all the time, but I LOVE MY JOB.

Just last week I got to spend an evening in the beautiful Dundee hills meeting a lovely new family. Sent to me from a wonderful friend, I was excited to meet the Dixons and their beautiful new home. New houses are exciting right? The decorating possibilities, picking out paint, it is fun stuff.

When I arrived I got the warmest welcome, I had a great time meeting this super cute family of 4 and capturing this special time for them. :)

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Check out the whole family in front of their beautiful new home. 

Meet Mr. L, the first to greet me and tell me ALL about the house and family. He might be the cutest little dude I have ever met.

Meet Miss G, stickling beautiful, tall, smart & witty. Girl is going to be a heart breaker for sure!

These two kill me, so lovely together!

Mr L was such a ham in front of the camera, and I ate it up. How can you not point a lens and this cute smile right.

Miss G also has a killer smile and some baby blues that are stunning.

Have I mentioned he was a ham?!

Another of the two kiddos together, this melts me, I hope my own boy & girl love each other this much.

They are adorable right, well they should be, mom owns one of McMinnville’s cutest boutiques.

:)

Right at sunset we hit the street near their house to catch that yummy sunset light. I love that the whole family truly enjoys each other you can tell.

:)

And one last shot of the whole family, I think this one might be my favorite.

David & Shanna thanks again for having me out to capture your family. Your home is fantastic, I am glad we could grab this moment in time. I will have the whole gallery up very soon! For now I hope you enjoy the sneak peek and of course as new clients I will have to issue the customary blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post, I will throw in a mini wallet brag book of images on the house. So leave some love people. :)
