    Portland Oregon Wedding Photographer {Laura & Michael sneak peek #1}

    Posted in sneak peek, Uncategorized, weddings

    Once again I could not possibly combine all the photos I want to show off from Laura & Michel’s winter wedding into one blog post.  I peeked one quick one already here.  I had an amazing time with these two, and I think the photos show it! Laura & Michael got married in literally the biggest snow storm of the last 40 years. When I talked to the lovely bride the day of the wedding I thought for sure she was going to cancel but she was not only still game, but excited about shooting in the snow! I was excited to say the least. Or as Michael would say I was not “weak sauce” by making the big day.

    Here are a few of my favorite from the first part of the big day:

    I always get the “wedding shoes” but these were too great not to capture.

    see I was not the only one cracking up the whole time, I just adore these two.

    See what I mean, that was one long post and we have not even gotten to the actual wedding yet! Another post soon to come. We are just thawing out here and I am catching up all around. I just had to show you some of these. I will be posting the ceremony and reception bits soon. Please leave a comment on this post if you want to see the whole gallery when it is ready.

    Laura and Michael thanks again for being up for anything! I wish you nothing but the best, more to come!

    Mac is back, and even more beautiful {Class of 2009 sneak peek}

    Posted in high school seniors, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    You might recognize this beautiful girl from a late summer post. Well Miss Makenzie is back to finish up her senior photos and this time we opted for a fun more urban setting.  We had a great time tromping all over the pearl district in Portland. Leave it to the “Art Neighborhood” to have the best settings for photos.

    Here are a few of my favorites so far:

    She is such a beautiful girl, and I love the new hair.

    A wee little graduate! {baby and family sneak peek}

    Posted in baby, family, sneak peek

    Just under a year ago I met sweet little baby S as part of my “Baby’s First Year” collection. I have had the pleasure of getting to see him grow over the past year and today I bring you a few of his 1 year photos. It was a bit more of a family session since the little guy was having a clingy day, but we had a great time anyway. Here are a few of my favs so far:

    skpeek1year-10

    I was loving the contrast of the bright colors and the country fog.

    skpeek1year-11

    Such a cute little guy!

    skpeek1year-12

    I am always a sucker for the “Mother and Child” images. I love this one, even if it is not exactly smiley. I love the way his mama is gently calming him down.  Nothing compares to a mother’s touch.

    skpeek1year-13

    Big sister, just as cute as always. :)

    skpeek1year-14

    And of course “Father and Daughter” images get me too. These two are so sweet together, matching freckles and all.

    skpeek1year-15

    Handsome big brother got in on the action too.

    skpeek1year-16

    And just for Mama we found some fall leaves! It was a little hard since most fall leaves in our area are down, but we found some!

    A thanks again for braving the cold late fall morning weather. I will have the full set for you very soon. And I know you love the blog comment challenges. So here is one just for you. If you can get 30 comments on this post I will give you $25 off a set of holiday cards.

    Newberg Family & Wedding Photography {Laura & Michael Sneak Peek}

    Posted in family, love!, sneak peek

    Not too long ago I was contacted by a local couple about shooting their Christmas time wedding. I don’t usually book anything around the holidays but I agreed to meet with them since they were literally right down the road. I am so glad I did. Laura & Micheal are so sweet, and their whole family is adorable. It also helped that when I walked into their home it was covered with beautiful family photos. When people are big photography fans to begin with, you know it is going to be fun working with them!

    This last weekend we meet up for a joint engagement & family session. I had a blast meeting all the kids and seeing them together. Even the grumpiest teen was smiling by the end of the morning. :)

    Here are a few of my favorites so far:

    killenpeek-11

    The whole family, I can not wait for the wedding it is going to be fun.

    killenpeek-13

    ( I am pretty sure I can hear the kids saying “Ewww Gross” right about now, but how cute are they!)

    killenpeek-12

    killenpeek-10

    Speaking of sweet, how sweet are these two. These soon to be step brothers made me smile.

    hats-set

    Ok there is a funny story behind this one. Laura brought this cute hat for the baby of the family to wear. Typical little guy style he was not into the hat at all. But one of the older kids jokingly put it on, and we ended up getting every single family member in it except the one it was intended for. ;) I know I am easily amused but this cracks me up.

    killenpeek-25

    And here is the little guy. This special little boy really stole my heart.

    killenpeek-20

    Our soon to be bride & groom again.

    Laura & Michael, I am really looking forward to your big day. Your whole family was an absolute joy to hang out with. Thanks for bearing the cold morning with me. I will have more from our morning session for you very soon!

    Cute and Chubby, just how I like them {Portland Oregon Baby Photographer}

    Posted in baby, family, sneak peek

    Lets take a walk down memory lane. Do any of you remember this beautiful belly?  And then this little tiny brand new still in the hospital peanut? And then this amazing newborn?

    Yeah me too, some of my all time favorite images there. And now this amazing family is back for more, and just as beautiful as ever.  Just see for your self how little Mr. Big has, well, gotten BIG.

    Can you believe that is even the same baby?!

    madden6mopeek-29

    Such an awesome chunky lump.

    madden6mopeek-28

    madden6mopeek-27

    Such a sweet baby, and so good for me. I guess this is what I get when I train them early!

    madden6mopeek-30

    Kisses for “big brother”

    And for something completely different, we did some photos of the whole family down the road at the most amazing setting. I have had my eye on this side road for a while now, so when Mr. Chubby’s mama suggested it I jumped at the chance.

    madden6mopeek-22

    Stunning location, beautiful family, does it get any better? It also helps these are 3 of my most favorite people too.

    madden6mopeek-20

    :)

    madden6mopeek-21

    Just adore them.

    So there you have it, a bit of a long peek but I could not help my self. Amber and Greg thanks for being so flexible this weekend and daring the Oregon weather with me. I adore you two, and cherish your friendship beyond words. Thanks for helping me make some special images, I hope you love them as much as I do.
