and baby makes three

Sometimes my wedding clients become friends… and everyone in a while those friends come to visit & play. 🙂

Michael and Megan were married in Oregon a few years ago, and I had a blast photographing their wedding.

This summer they informed me their plan was to come up to Oregon, visit some of the memorable spots and hang out, and asked if I wanted to come play one day and meet their little guy. We made a plan to meet up for some quick photos, and then hang a bit of a family day. We had a great time, picking blackberries, watching the “big kids” scooter, check out the river then go grab lunch with copious amounts of bacon.

Here are a handful of images from our photo time.

Cute Cute Little Lady

It was a few months ago I started talking to the J family. After a few conversations we set up a session date and time to take some baby and family photos. We choose a park close to home that was special to them, and a time of day they thought their little girl would be happy. It is always important to catch babies at their happiest time of day. Well we certainly timed it right, baby girl was a smiley happy little thing for sure! The whole family was a pleasure to capture. Sessions like this make my job easy it is no lie!

Here are a few from our time together:

Family Photos in the Dundee Hills

The J family “bought me” at an auction that is near and dear to my heart. I donate to many auctions in the Metro area, but this one was specifically to raise money for my daughter’s school. I volunteer at this one, and help run the event. It is always a fun night! The only part of the night I find myself worried about really, is when people are bidding on my on services. It is awkward, watching people look at my work and write down a value. I always find my self cringing, but this particular year I was pretty excited about the family that “bought me”.

The photo package was purchased by the J family, and I was super excited to capture them.  It took us a while to work around their busy schedules, but I am so glad we finally made it happen. This family was lovely to work with, and has three of the most charming, best behaved and beautiful children I have had the pleasure to point a camera at. 🙂

Here are a few of my favorites from our session together…DundeePhotographerDundeePhotographer2DundeePhotographer3DundeePhotographer4DundeePhotographer5DundeePhotographer6DundeePhotographer7DundeePhotographer8DundeePhotographer9DundeePhotographer10DundeePhotographer11DundeePhotographer14DundeePhotographer15DundeePhotographer12DundeePhotographer13DundeePhotographer16DundeePhotographer17

Westervelt Lovelies & Family

I know I say it all the time, but I LOVE watching families grow.

When they come back again it is so fun to see how the little ones grow, change and learn new things. This is the third time I have photographed the W family. Each time has been lovely, but this time was extra special since it was not only them, but the whole extended family.

And they brought cute cousins! Check out all the ginger haired lovelies! It was a great morning, and fun to capture. We went back up to one of my favorite spots, Red Ridge Farms, made some silly faces, and walked the grounds, what a great morning.

happy almost birthday baby Fischer!

So let me be clear, I am SUPER biased.

The little dude below is my nephew, and so I have to love it. It is totally in the auntie handbook, that said I dare you not to adore this kid. He is sweet, gentle, super smiley, and oh so cute. It was just over a year ago I was up in Seattle for his newborn session.

Man how time flies!

Here are a few from our latest session together:
