I can not believe the little girl that got out of the truck for my session with the Cooper family this year. I can not believe that this girl was not too long ago the tiny baby that was so good for me in her first session, so silly as a chubby baby, and then such a charmer last year. She is HUGE, just ask, she will tell you so! I know I say it all the time, but it really is such a joy to watch them grow, especially when they are this cute. 🙂 Layla and her parents joined me in a little walk about Champoge Park, we played with leaves, ran around, and made some lovely images.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Check out that smile, such a cutie!
Oh and we were also joined by her beloved puppy BOBBY. That has to be the most adored puppy on earth. 
The whole lovely family. We really lucked out with the weather and the beautiful fall colors.
Layla, like me enjoys crunching the leaves. It has to be an official fall past time really. 
There is BOBBY again, he sure is loved. 
The park was so beautiful, we had fun. 
Ugh that face, and those cheeks! 
and that smile, for real Layla is the cutest. 
and one last shot of the whole family.
Michelle & Kyle thanks again for trekking up to see me. I am so glad we made it work again. It was great to see you all, and see how your little princes is growing. I hope you like the sneak peek, the whole gallery will be done very soon. I am also excited to see you all again this spring for a certain belly & newborn session (woo hoo!)

The S family purchased my services last year during fundraiser auction. I had donated my services to a worthy cause, and waiting to hear from the purchasing family. Well almost a year went by and just a few weeks ago I got a phone call asking if we could set up our session, and man am I happy they called. The S family is not only wonderful for giving to that good cause, but incredibly adorable. With 5 of the cutest kids this side of Portland, and access to a stunning property, the session was fantastic! We had a great time running around a beautiful estate in Lake Oswego, enjoying some rare warm fall weather, taking about a new frozen yougart store they are opening in my little town (woo hoo!), and taking photos.
Here are some of my favorites so far:
7 people, 5 kids, and they are all ridiculously good looking and sweet. It’s kind of unreal.
Meet big sister, she is sweet and soft spoken. She also does a great silly face when the little ones need to smile.
Meet middle sister, she might have the most naturally sparkling eyes I have ever seen. And such a cutie.
And now we have middle brother, he is all wit and charm this one. You can tell he is going to rule Kindergarten.
The middle kids share a cute bond and some beautiful eyes.
and here comes trouble, the wonder twins. These two are the babies of the family, but there was clearly no shortage of character and cuteness left. These two totally cracked me up with their antics. 🙂
see what I mean, how can you not smile at that silly face.
I think sometimes twins have extra personality, clearly this little man has loads of it!
beautiful ladies!
and the boys looking cool.
Clearly hanging out with daddy is fun.
We even got a few of Mom & Dad on their own.
there is no shortage of love in this family, look at those smiles.
The property had some amazing scenery for sure.
Pretty girls.
I love this one, no idea what the secret was, but it reminds me of the bond only sisters can have.
Ok I have to admit this set cracks me up. On the left you have kids being kids, I think someone lost their stick sending some into a tail spin and some into tutle mode. On the right is about 30 seconds later when everyone was promised ice cream. Kids kill me.
and one last shot, possibly the best of the day. You can tell these little ones have fun together. I just adored each and every one of them. 🙂
Kelsey thanks for having me out to capture your beautiful family. I had a great time getting to know you all. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I am super excited for the new store in my little town as well! As a new client I would love to offer you a little blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post I will throw in a darling little wallet brag book. Perfect for showing off a certain adorable family . So leave some love people!

A few things always let me know it is officially the pre-holiday season. Stores start hanging ornaments, my mother in law starts playing festive music, and I have 2 cute blond girls on my calender. It has been my pleasure to capture the N family for the last 4 years, it has been fun two see these little ladies grow for sure. For this year’s session we headed out to downtown Washougal, WA to a new building with some fun bright colors and lines.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
Look at those smiles! 
These girls crack me up, they were dancing and singing the whole time. 
We also got some good separates with pretty mama & handsome daddy. 
Gah this one has to be my favorite for sure. Such cuteness! 
Mara is such a big girl these days, and such a sweet big sister. 
Syd is also super sweet, and silly. 
We had to do a few of just Mom & Dad. 
Oh those eyes are just amazing. 
and killer lashes, these girls have it made.
Tia thanks again for having me out to capture your little ladies and super cute family. I had a great time seeing you all again. I will have the whole gallery done soon!
