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!

My new bff

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.

Jaime & Datton Day Three

Are you loving all the Jaime & Datton photos on the blog this week! Again I felt so privileged to capture this extraordinary event for this wonderful couple. After 3 days of shooting I really got to know these two, and clearly had a wonderful time. It is not often I get to spend so much time with family and friends as well, everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Also I have to give a huge shout out to Joel Bock for being my right hand man both Thursday & Saturday for this event. Some of the photos you see below were captured by him (Even one of him if you look close!).

Today I want to feature the reception! Back out at the beautiful De Armonde Garden Estate in Hillsboro. This day was the reception, so the whole venue was set up with delicious details, beautiful flowers, and even some cute little garden gnomes (Jaime has a thing for them, how cute is that)!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Once again Jaime and Datton thank you for having me out to capture your celebration. I will have the whole gallery for you very soon. Friends & family reading feel free to leave a comment below if you would like gallery access once the whole set is ready!

Jaime & Datton Day 2

As promised yesterday I am back today with more images from Jaime & Datton’s amazing wedding. The event was a 3 day extravaganza of epic proportions. Yesterday we visited the beautiful ceremony. Today I want to show off some images from the beautiful Vietnamese Ceremony that took place at the home of Datton’s parents. Though it was packed, it was beautiful and intimate. Again I felt very  honored to witness this beautiful tradition.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

More again soon, next up the reception!
