beautiful baby banks

I don’t think there is anything more complimentary than being given as a gift.

You should remember the super adorable D family from just a few months back. Well Amy had a good friend about to have her own little one and thought a emily g gift certificate was in order. I was so excited to hear the news that my littlest client was born, and tried to wait patiently for the call. Really I tried! When I finally heard from Erica I was over joyed to meet the little guy! By this time he was 5 weeks old and a little more alert than your typical newborn, but really he was a great little model for me.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

babyfeetset

just look at those tiny toes and sparkly eyes. Just adorable!

bankspeeking-100

and even a smile, I am pretty sure this one was for daddy. Or it could have been he was about to pee on me, who knows!

bankspeeking-103

one thing Erica and I had in common is the love for the bare baby booty! Banks you may hate me when you are 16, but really I just had to.

after a little while the little dude tuckered out.

bankspeeking-105

I just loved his perfect little mouth and button nose. 🙂

and one last image from our session. Possibly my favorite. I love that little dude is the center of their universe, as it should be right now! This child is clearly loved.

Erica thanks again for having me out to your lovely home to meet your little dude. He is seriously adorable! I so enjoyed meeting all of you, and thanks again HUGE for including me in the Starbucks run. Dad you are a life saver!!! I will have much more for you to see very soon. I hope you enjoyed the little peek. And of course for all my new clients I would love to offer you a comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will hook you two up with 2 mini wallet brag books. Perfect for showing off a certain angel boy! So leave some love people. 🙂

cuteness at the mountain

I had the pleasure of working with Becca back a few months on Emily & Sam’s amazing wedding. Becca is the event master and the stunning Resort at the Mountain at the base of Mt. Hood. Well after a few months of chatting & planning Becca had me back up to the resort, this time not for a wedding, but to capture her own lovely family!

Becca and her husband both work on the property so we again hooked up the golf carts and got to run all over the stunning property. We had a great time capturing the cute family, a super adorable baby, and even some bonus grandma shots!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

ResortPeek-101

check out the lovely family and amazing view.

Miss Addy was just over the top cute for me. Check out those sparkly eyes!

ResortPeek-107

and one last shot of the whole family. I love how mom & dad are just loving on the smiling baby here.

Becca & Ben thanks for having me up to the mountain again to capture your little family. You guys are awesome, the golf cart jousting alone was worth the hike up from the valley.  I just adore your little lady too! I hope you like the peek, I will have much more for you soon. And of course as a new client I would love to offer you my comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will throw in a couple wallet brag books perfect for showing off a cute baby with sparkly eyes. 🙂 So leave some love people !

bigger, brighter, and even more beautiful…

I love my job!

Seriously, I get to hang out with beautiful brides, wonderful families, and adorable babies. It is honestly, pretty awesome. One of my favorite parts of my job is watching these little ones grow into little people. I have been photographing miss Layla for over a year now.  First as a wee little baby, then a chubby crawler, now as a full on running giggling little toddler. Seriously this child is CUTE, and now quick. Keeping me on my toes for sure, and loving ever second of it.

Check out Layla & her families most recent session.

Just a few of my favorites so far:

Susie, Richard & the baby that stole the show

I began talking to Susie months ago, about wedding coverage, family photos & big plans for the year to come. I knew instantly that I would like her. She is warm and bubbly, but also very clear about what she wants. A woman after my own heart. When I met up with her and Richard to talk wedding photography I also got to meet the heart stealing Maya. Seriously this child is adorable! Her goofy smile and infectious giggle totally got me. When we starting taking engagement session it was clear what we really needed was an engagement/family/kiddo session, love it! So this past weekend I met up with Susie, Richard and the ever so adorable Maya to do some photos. We had a great time running around their neighborhood and snapping away. I had a great time with this family, I can already tell next summer’s wedding is going to be a fun one!

Check out some of my favorite’s so far:

beautiful babies

If you all remember correctly last Friday it rained, let me take that back, it poured cats & dogs, possibly small farm animals. It was dark and rainy, and overall gross, but not for me. I had the lovely opportunity to hang out with two of the most beautiful babies in the greater Portland area. Two babies, cousins actually, with smiles that can brighten up a whole house!

Don’t take my word for it, just take a look:

girlset

Little miss was just adorable.

withmama

you can tell little miss gets her beautiful smile from her mama.

BWgirl

such a sweet heart, and so smilie!

And of course for all my new clients I will have to bring up a client challenge for you. If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post I will hook both families up with a lovely little wallet brag book. Perfect for showing off adorable little chubby cheeks! Much more soon folks!
