and just like that she is one!

Wow a year went by fast! It seams like just yesterday I was working with a darling smiling newborn & her still toddler like big brother. And now she is a big girl and he is a super sweet big brother who is all big boy! Even 6 months ago they were darling, but now it is almost too much cute. The long eye lashes, the curls, really it is just not fair how darling these kids are. It was my pleasure to capture this family again a few weeks ago on a warm afternoon in Portland.

Here are a few of my favorites so far…

 

Jessica thanks again for being up for anything. I had a great time catching up with you and your family. It has been my pleasure to watch your little ones grow & capture it with my lens. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I will have the whole set done for you shortly.

Xander is 3!

There are no arguments to be made, Xander is one of the coolest little kids in all of the Portland Metro area. He just is, deal with it. With a super star Daddy & Talented Diva for a Mama it is just meant to be. So what do you do when a super cool kid turns 3? You rent a crazy huge inflate-able castle and rock out of course. I have been lucky enough to work with Daria, Dallas & little Xander for the past few years on belly, baby & kiddo photos. So it was fun to come back this year and capture the little dude’s birthday party. It was a fun event filled with bright colors, super heroes and of course lots of bouncing.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Daria & Dallas thanks again for having me out to capture the big party. You guys really know how to throw a bash. Clearly the little guy was pretty happy with the whole set up. 🙂

I will have the whole set done soon, hope you all are enjoying your summer!

Alicia’s Growing Family (& belly!)

I have some truly talented friends & colleagues. My super talented friend & owner  of Floral Design’s by Alicia is about to have her second child and asked me to capture this special time with her family and growing belly. It was also great timing as her son Egan was about to turn 4! We had a lovely time walking around my favorite wild life preserve, hunting for bugs, and taking some sun kissed photos.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Alicia thanks again for coming down to my neck of the woods. It was my pleasure to capture this exciting milestone. I can not wait to meet your baby girl in just a few short weeks. She is such a lucky lady to have such loving parents and a super cute big brother. I can not wait to capture you all again as a family of four. I hope you dug your sneak peek. I will have the whole set done for you soon.

sweet violet & her growing family.

It is no secret that I love the redheaded babies, and that I love capturing beautiful pregnant mamas. So when the two combine into one session  you get a very happy photographer. When Leslie and I started talking about this session I knew it would be a fun one. She and her family have a great love of the outdoors, and all things colorful, so we found a lovely city park to capture them in. We lucked into a beautiful day, and some pretty scenery. Violet took a bit to warm up, but was a pleasure to capture.  Oh how I miss my own redhead in rainboots & tutus!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Leslie & Wind thanks again for meeting me out at the park, and braving the back & fourth weather. I am so glad it worked out! Your little girl is darling, it was great to meet all of you. I will be done with the gallery shortly, for now I would love to offer you a blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post, I will throw in a darling set of brag books on the house! So leave some love people.

a playdate in the park

It will come to no surprise to people who know me when I say I love the feisty ones.

Don’t get me wrong, when kids take it easy on me during a session I am a happy girl, but sometimes when the small ones make it hard I take the challenge to heart. Below you will see one of the most adorable sister/brother pairs ever. These kids are stunning, sparkling eyes, sweet smiles, killer giggles, but this little dude made me work for it no doubt.  As hard as he made me work, I loved every second of it, and it made each smile I captured that much sweeter! Aside from little man’s hilarious antics, the whole family was wonderful to work with. I had a great time, and ended up with some lovely photos.

Here are a few of my favorites so far…

Marci thanks again for meeting me out with the kids. It was lovely working with your whole family! I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek, I will have the whole gallery up for you very soon. For now I would love to throw down a little blog challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post, I will throw in a set of darling little brag books. So leave some love people!
