heart melting boys

It is no secret I have always wanted girls, but after my weekend session with two of the loveliest little boys on the planet I might just change my mind. We will call them “Big Bro” & “Little Bro”, and they are nothing short of adorable. These two not only play well together, they are best little buds. Seriously it is not just the heatwave talking, these little guys stole my heart. We had a lovely time walking around downtown Newberg on a sunny Saturday morning. I could go on and on, lets get to the photos shall we?

Here are a few of my favs so far:

GreeneBoysPeek-100

See what I mean? Over the top cuteness. They are so sweet together! Big Bro is incredibly patient, and little bro is in LOVE with his hero big bro. Seriously it was so fun to see them together.

Big brother is such a sweetie, but also very pragmatic. He was all about the prize at the end of the session promised by mama. 🙂 I just love his slightly crooked smile and big brown eyes. Such a little gentleman.

GreeneBoysPeek-106

Little brother on the other hand is just wickedly cute. Those lashes are to die for right?! He was all about exploring every crack in the sidewalk just in case there was a bug hiding.

flagboys

When we spotted this flag I knew we had to use it. Such an all American setting with two cute boys.  We were shooting in my little home town you know. They brought all the personality though!

littlebroandbaby

Little brother and his “baby” I love getting little ones and their lovies. You know they will outgrow them so fast.

toysset

The boys also love their little toys, it is amazing how much little boys can love a tiny piece of plastic.  Gah they are so cute together!

GreeneBoysPeek-113

Such a serious face for a little man. I just love his intense eyes.

GreeneBoysPeek-114

Someone else also has wonderful eyes. Such a cutie!

GreeneBoysPeek-101

and one last one of the two little dudes together. They were just so great for me!

Jennifer thanks again for contacting me and trying out someone new to capture your boys. They were really truly a delight to have in front of my lens!  I am so looking forward to the family session in the fall as well. We have to break out the costumes for sure! I will have the whole gallery for you very soon! To tide you over how about a little comment challenge? If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post I will throw in a mini wallet album for you an your hubby to take along to show off your cute boys. So leave some love folks. These boys so deserve it!

only this little dude can make a double chin look good…

I can not believe I am saying this, but “Baby M” is one! First is was the belly, then the newborn, the 6 months, and now he is a big boy! He still has the cute chubby cheeks, but the curly hair is just over the top. I adore this little man can you tell?

We had a lovely time taking a stroll around downtown Newberg and snapping a few photos. Soon when Mom, Dad & I can coordinate our schedules we will do some family photos, but for now little Mr Chub is the star of the show!

Here are a few of my favs so far:

Madden1Peek-11BW

Madden1Peek-14

There it is! the cutest double chin in the entire world. 😀

Don’t tell mom but I am pretty sure he ended up eating this flower. Uh it is fiber right?

Madden1Peek-17

this one is my fav for sure. I love his serious little face.

Am thanks for trekking all over town in the hot weather for the session. I am looking forward to some fun hip family photos soon! Have a great trip south!

Ridiculous cuteness with the P family

I started talking to the mommy of two beautiful little girls a few months ago about setting up a session. She described her family and property and I knew I had to get them in front of my lens. The “P” family has an amazing home to shoot in and around. It is superbly decorated, and on stunning forested acres. It also helped the youngest family members are over the top adorable. 🙂 I had so much fun running around after these two! The whole family was so great, I had a horrible time pairing down the images for a sneak peek.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

jumpingset

Meet “Big Sister” she was so fun, shhhh don’t tell mom I told her to jump on the bed. I just had to!

bigissmilebed

Such a beautiful girl, and the room was so adorably decorated! T you have to tell me the name of your decorator. She did a great job!

cribset

Meet “Little Sister” this little one may be small, but she has some serious character! Her room was also super cute, I just love that mobile!

babycrib

her little face kills me!

girlstogether

they are also very sweet together, fast! but very sweet.

bwset1

Such a fun family, I know there must be a ton of laughter in this home.

fieldset

The property was absolutely beautiful to shoot on, really I have a million in this grassy meadow I just adore.

bigsisbw

Big sister was so cute for me, messy hair and all. I love getting kids in their real life zone. 🙂

familyinforest

We even tromped into the woods for a bit! I have to admit I ended up with a few mosquito bites, but so very worth it for these shots. How adorable are they!

littlesisbw

Little sister has the most beautiful sparkly eyes. I love her pondering look here.

slideset

Weeeee! I had to grab a few of the kids in action. They are some lucky kiddos to have a cool play-set in their own back yard. I am sure that thing sees allot of action on nice days. I love Little Sister’s expression doing down the slide, priceless!

T I had an absolutely fabulous time with all of you. Thanks for having me out to capture your fantastic family. I hope you like the results! Thanks again for the lovely goody bag as well, my little one is crazy about all the delicious new treats in our cupboard.  I will have the whole set for you very soon, and I have some ideas of wall collections already. And of course like all my new clients I would love to offer you a comment challenge. If you can 30 people to comment on this post, I will gift you a cute little wallet brag book perfect for taking cute little blond girls along with you on business trips. So get commenting folks!

family date May 2009

With our busy schedules this time of year the emily g family is trying to make a point to fit “family dates” into the mix.  This so no small feat with work, shooting, and nap schedules but this weekend we had GREAT success. We grabbed the kiddo, the back up camera, and some sunscreen and headed down to the Portland Rose Festival. While I am usually weary of carnies and parking lot food we had a blast. They had tons of great stuff to look at (and photograph), rides suitable for an average height almost 4 year old, and most importantly cotton candy. We were only there for about 2 hours, but it was the perfect amount of time to get our family date on.

Here are some silly images from our little adventure:

us

check out our matching chuck taylors, yep that’s how we roll. 😉

We had way too much fun with the photo booths there as well, even if we all look evil in the resulting images.

happymoments

in the middle you can see the red head’s “motorcycle face”. She kills me, she was so excited every time we got to a ride she was actually tall enough for.

and on the far right check it out! It is the illusive husband, he is actually in this posting twice. I was teased recently by a colleague about how he is not on facebook and not visible on the blog, so here ya go! Handsome devil isn’t he. 😉

mishmash

The kiddo loved all the sites & sounds. She also scored a new “baby” that she promptly named, get this, Christina Agulara! No clue where that came from, totally had the husby and I in tears laughing about it.

oh and in case you want to know, I rock at skee ball.

oh-the-drama

oh the drama, her little face is so expressive.  I am pretty sure she was begging for cotton candy here!

All in all we had a fantastic family date. If you are in PDX I highly recommend an evening at the Rose Festival, just a few hours is fun and highly entertaining.

Lots more coming on the blog this week, beautiful babies, cute couples and more. Check back!

May I introduce Mr. Charming

When this little guy’s mama called me last month to set up a session I have to admit we do not go over a whole lots of details. I knew Mr. Charming would be 4 months old, and that they lived in the St. Johns area. She neglected to tell me he was the most charming adorable little bundle of joy in the Portland Metro area! This little guy stole my heart, and was so good for me! 4 months is a tricky age, sometimes they love new people and sometimes they cry if you look at them the wrong way. This little dude was the perfect little model, it is going to be really hard to get the gallery down to a manageable size. I had the hardest time just choosing what photos to blog!

Just take a look at some of my favorites so far:

nashpeeky-11

I dare you not to smile back.

Oh and check it out, he also likes to show off for the ladies. While setting up for this shot he rolled over for the first time!

bwsmiles

smoochable no?

nashpeeky-14

oh how I love the cute little baby toes.

green-chair

this is where the little dude showed no fear. I wanted to use this cool green chair, and well he wanted to launch off it and get inside my camera. 😉

bwstairsset

Have I mentioned the whole family is adorable? they were so sweet together.

sillysmile

gah that goofy smile kills me!

yellow-wall-set

Such a lovely family, so fun and full of life. This happy yellow wall worked out perfectly for them.

nashpeeky-27

and this one has to be my favorite family shot. I know he is eating his overalls, but they way mama & daddy are loving on him melts me.

D&M I had a fantastic time with the three of you! I will have the whole gallery for you very soon.  I am so glad you found me and it all worked out so well. Mr. Charming is an absolute dream baby, I can not wait to see him grow over the next year.  Lots of fun stuff planned for you guys! And I know you are excited to show off some images to your friends and family, so I would love to offer you a little comment challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this blog post I will throw in a mini wallet brag book filled with images of your little dude.  So leave some love folks!
