Super Xander is One!

As many of you remember I had the pleasure of doing a very special maternity session last year for one of Portland’s most loved radio personalities Miss Daria and her cute Husby Dallas. Well over the year, the bump became a darling baby, and now that baby is a whole year old! I have just loved watching him grow, little Xander is such a charmer. Well this past week we celebrated the little dude’s birthday with a photo session, he was hilarious. Talking and telling stories the whole time. We lucked out and grabbed a little sunshine before the rain storm hit. I think he was showing off a bit, but I totally ate it up. Between his big smile and killer eye lashes I know why his Mama & Dad are so in love with him. 🙂

Here are a few of my favorites so far from our session:

Like I said little Xander was telling stories and chatting the whole time.

No shock he has a big personality in this family, they are all so fun.

With Mama Daria, can you tell he loves him some mama.

And of course a few of father & son. Dallas and Xander are so sweet together.

Look who is starting to stand!

Such a sweet boy, look at those eyed they melt me.

Little X is not quite walking yet, but he has the squatting down.

Did I mention that the whole family is fun? Yep they are all fantastic.

this one might be my favorite of Mama & son, there is just no bond like it. I just loved seeing them together, such love.

And one last photo of out wonder boy. He is just so darn handsome!

Daria & Dallas thanks again for hanging out with me and trekking out in the rain. I just loved seeing your little man all big and talkative. He is such a sweet charmer! I hope you like the sneak peek. I will have the whole gallery for you very soon. And of course you know I love to throw down the comment challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post a wallet brag book is in it for ya. So leave some love people, you know you want to.

super ella

This past week I had the pleasure of meeting the adorable miss Ella. A session with her was a gift to her mama from some lovely old friends of mine. I have been looking forward to meeting the little lady for a while now. Let me tell you, while small & pretty new to this world, this little lady completely stole my heart. Beautiful, spunky & sweet this little girl was a joy to capture.

Here are a few of my favorites from out session together.

When I arrived miss Ella was awake and ready to play. I usually like my newborns sleepy but with those beautiful eyes I was happy I got to capture her baby blues!

after a little playing Ella needed a diaper change. Clearly she is set on being a super hero when she grows up with a pose like this!

after a clean diaper, a little super hero work, and mama’s milk Ella was ready to snooze for me. And such a sweet sleeping baby she is! I loved every little bit of her, from her curl-hawk to her toes. 🙂

sweet sleepy baby even gave me some smiles.

once she was out she was out! I think little miss Ella likes sleeping in the sun.

clearly she also loved my new red blanket. Just look at that smile. 🙂

Ella also loves her beautiful mama Melissa. I have to agree, she is pretty wonderful.

and daddy too of course. The family is in the middle of a construction project these days so daddy’s got some hard working hands. I just loved the contrast of her soft skin in them.

the whole family was just wonderful to hang out with.

and one last one of the new family. Ella clearly has it made don’t you think?!

Melissa thanks for having me out to capture your darling little girl. I just loved meeting all 3 of you! I hope you like your peek. I will have the whole set soon! Melissa I would also love to offer you a little blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a cute little wallet brag book on me. Perfect for showing off a cute little baby when you go back to work. 🙂 So leave some love folks. 🙂

in honor of the drooly one I spend so much time with these days…

As you lovely blog readers know I had a baby just over 2 months ago, many of you have emailed, blog commented, twittered, facebooked and called with your congratulations. I have felt very loved thank you all so much! To say thank you I want to give you all something back. A blog special! Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your mama I am running a special!

Any baby or kids sessions booked between now and Mother’s day (Sunday May 9th) will come with a $50 print credit in honor of my sweet chubby babies. 🙂 This would also work towards a gift certificate too, speaking of Mother’s Day!

I have a few spots left in May & June and lots more availability in this summer months but now is the time to schedule. Once wedding season really starts rolling my calender gets packed, so contact me today to save $50!

I look forward to seeing you all, and some new faces too this year!
