With a name like Scarlett you have to be cute!

While planning this session I got to know this family the old fashioned way, emails and personal shutterfly galleries. šŸ™‚ I have to admit with each email I got more excited to meet Shannon, Wes and the super adorable Scarlett. Being the mother of my own Scarlett I had high expectations of this little lady, and let me tell you she surpassed everyone. She is smart, adorable, and even a bit sassy, perfection! The entire family was adorable and welcoming. I just love it when the family wants to shoot in their home, it is always fun to include people’s personalities and art. We had a great time snapping away, playing with Scarlett’s great toys and squeaky shoes!

Here are a few of my favorites so far.

Meet Scarlett, isn’t she simply adorable.

Miss Scarlett is celebrating a birthday soon, I love this hand made banner her mom crafted.

Smiles! Girlfriend made me work for it, but my it was worth it!

Check out the whole family. They have a great neighborhood and yard to shoot in. I just loved this old moss covered tree, perfect for a cute baby in a darling winter coat right.

Scarlett and Daddy clearly have lots of fun together.

Eeeek the cuteness!

Clearly there is no shortage of love here.

Scarlett also has some killer lashes.

I love this one, it might be my favorite.

Scarlett and her pretty mama. Smiles just do not get much better than this.

And one last set of our little lady. She is just so cute!

Shannon & Wes, thank you for welcoming me into your home. I had a great time getting to know all of you. Scarlett is just darling, I hope you like the sneak peek. I will have the whole gallery up for you here shortly! For now I would love to offer you a blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post, I will throw in a set of cute little wallet brag books. They do work well for showing off a certain little lady. šŸ™‚ So leave some love people.

Layla the little lady

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!Ā  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. šŸ™‚ 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 forĀ  a certain belly & newborn session (woo hoo!)

cuteness & energy for days

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. šŸ™‚

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. šŸ™‚

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!

The B Family Peek

It is pouring outside, like really really pouring. I am thinking I might have to start making an Arc here soon. Remember when it was warm and sunny, ahh yes me too. I was lucky enough to capture one of those beautiful warm Autumn nights here a few weeks ago, and I would love to share a few with you all now. You never know it might just warm you up!

Check out the whole family, we even got Puppy in a few!

The B family is blessed with two seriously beautiful girls.

Pretty ladies.

The weather and fall leaves were so good for us!

We even got a few of Mom & Dad being cute.

I love her smile here, thanks to her sister making faces behind me if I remember right.

Another beautiful smile, and some killer blue eyes too.

The park had this great old wooden fence we just had to use.

šŸ™‚

We also ventured down to the river for a few photos before the sun went down.

Oh and we had to capture some fun shoes while they lasted.

Kelly, thanks again for having me out to meet up with your fun family. I had a great time getting to know all of you and tromping around the park! 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 fun family and beautiful girls. So leave some love people!

Sugar Sweet Sisters

As the mother of two little ones I always love being around other families welcoming in their second child. There is something about that love between siblings, especially when they are brand new that just kills me. Just over a week ago I had the chance to hang out with just such a family. The O family was welcoming their second girl, and what a sweet girl she is. At 5 weeks old she is super sweet. Chubby cheeks and clear blue eyes, such cuteness! She joins a beautiful big sister, the whole family was just wonderful to work with. I have SO many photos from this session it is kind of ridiculous.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

see little sister is so sweet right!

she also brought out the silly faces for me. I love this one. šŸ™‚

I love the mama love here.

little sister is also adored by her daddy can you tell.

meet big sister, I have a feeling someone taught the baby about silly faces.

Ah those eyes, those curls, it just does not get much cuter.

šŸ™‚

and the whole family!

the light in the yard that day was awesome.

big sister is so good with her little sister. So gentle and sweet. I was super impressed.

After our trip outside and fun with sister the little lady tired out. I was happy to get a few shots of her sleeping like an angel.

and of course we had to capture those sweet baby bits, I just love the tiny features.

she has the sweetest little lips.

is there anything better than a chubby sleepy baby? I think not.

and one last shot of the little lady.

Marie, thanks again for having me out to meet up with your beautiful family. I had a great time getting to know all of you! 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 cute family & new baby. So leave some love people!
