    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:

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

    Such a cute little guy!

    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.

    Big sister, just as cute as always. :)

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

    Handsome big brother got in on the action too.

    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.

    Just for FUN

    Posted in Uncategorized

    I came across this fun website wordle.net/ on a photography forum the other day and just had to try. It “reads” your website or blog and gives you a fun smattering of word usage.

    Here is mine for this blog:

    Apparently I use FUN allot! Well that’s how I like it so I guess it works! :)

    Remember I am almost booked for October for FUN family, seniors & kids sessions, if you want to put some FUN into your holiday photos give me a call or throw me an email asap!

    Location, Location, Location

    Posted in my life, photography geekyness

    A little over a month ago I had the pleasure of attending a get together with some other Portland area Children’s Photographers. Fun ladies for sure. We all belong to the same photography forum and try to help each other our from time to time. I just love working with other photographers. I think it is the best way to learn and stretch my self as an artist to be surrounded by so many creative people.

    So in the beginning of June we trekked out to a random location one of the ladies knew of and took some really fun photos.

    This location is not your normal family setting. I just love all the graffiti and wild colors. I am pretty sure all the skater kids that usually rule the area thought we were all crazy taking our small children out there. But we are all geeks that love to find those out there crazy places, even if we do have to dodge skate boards and construction to get the shot.

    No really here are a few of me in action another photographer friend took of me.

    I am not sure if this is a location I would take a client to, as it is pretty rough but I do LOVE the non traditional. If you or someone you know is looking for some FUN and non traditional family or kids portraits call me soon. My summer schedule is starting to fill up, but I am always up for that next cool location. As a Family and Kids photographer in the Portland area I know there are even more great spots out there. If you have a great spot let me know! If it is really great I might even throw in a free 10×13 with a booked session to the client (new or returning) who lets me in on the secret. It does not have to be a graffiti covered wall, it can be a cool mural in a back ally, a building with some great stained glass, or even a over look of the perfect view of a city. So email or call me today, if I love the location it just might be the back drop of your next wall hanging! Happy location hunting!

    Baby S is 6 months old! {baby sneak peek}

    Posted in baby, family, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    Anyone remember these delicious chubby cheeks perfect baby blues?

    Yep Baby S is 6 months old and just a sweet. As part of my babies first year plan I get to have regular photo play dates with him as he gets bigger.

    I just love watching them grow.

    We got to hang out with the whole family this time, it was a little bit cold but we lucked into some great weather.

    As usual Baby S’s big brother and big sister stole the show at points. They are so cute in their own right I just had to point my camera their way.

    Baby S was a doll, and like all babies he was much more happy in mamas arms. Can you blame him?

    A it was lovely to see your baby boy and the whole family again. I can not wait to see how big he gets over another 6 months. I will have the whole set for you soon. While you are waiting I have a little challenge for you. If you can get 25 people to comment on this blog post I will throw in a leather wallet album filled with images from our session.
