sweet baby M sneak peek {Portland Oregon Baby Photography}

12.07.08

I met sweet baby M this morning, yes that is right this morning! I got home and downloaded the images and could not help but start working on them right away. Little baby M and her family were great to hang out with. They had a beautiful home with great light. Miss M is three months old, still a little peanut. She was a little tired when I arrived but she did remarkably well with the session.

Here are a few of my favs so far:

We did a few quik ones of the whole family out side, it was freezing cold but they were troopers.

love for mama

and daddy too of course.

she is an expert at the baby bubbles 😉

Is there anything cuter than a baby in a cute hat?

Yep, a baby in this hat!

After a little while she was pretty tired and tuckered out. I took the opportunity to do some sleeping baby shots. It is rare they really go out for you during a session at 3 months, so I had a great time taking advantage.

I love the tiny little baby bits. Man she has some amazing eye lashes and lips I just had to capture them.

Kelly & Tom I had a great time meeting all three of you. Thanks for having me up, I am so glad all the scheduling worked out. And thanks for letting me rearrange your living room! I will have the whole set for you very soon! If friends of family want to see the whole set when it is done please leave a comment here and I will send you the password when it is all ready!

A wee little graduate! {baby and family sneak peek}

11.20.08

Just under a year ago I met sweet little baby S as part of my “Baby’s First Year” collection. I have had the pleasure of getting to see him grow over the past year and today I bring you a few of his 1 year photos. It was a bit more of a family session since the little guy was having a clingy day, but we had a great time anyway. Here are a few of my favs so far:

I was loving the contrast of the bright colors and the country fog.

Such a cute little guy!

I am always a sucker for the “Mother and Child” images. I love this one, even if it is not exactly smiley. I love the way his mama is gently calming him down. Nothing compares to a mother’s touch.

Big sister, just as cute as always. 🙂

And of course “Father and Daughter” images get me too. These two are so sweet together, matching freckles and all.

Handsome big brother got in on the action too.

And just for Mama we found some fall leaves! It was a little hard since most fall leaves in our area are down, but we found some!

A thanks again for braving the cold late fall morning weather. I will have the full set for you very soon. And I know you love the blog comment challenges. So here is one just for you. If you can get 30 comments on this post I will give you $25 off a set of holiday cards.

Not only were the pictures really lovely (and especially vivid, with all the colors), I thought it was a nice write-up on the photographer’s part. You don’t see that much! I’m sure the family will treasure these photos for a long time.

Cute and Chubby, just how I like them {Portland Oregon Baby Photographer}

11.14.08

Lets take a walk down memory lane. Do any of you remember this beautiful belly? And then this little tiny brand new still in the hospital peanut? And then this amazing newborn?

Yeah me too, some of my all time favorite images there. And now this amazing family is back for more, and just as beautiful as ever. Just see for your self how little Mr. Big has, well, gotten BIG.

Can you believe that is even the same baby?!

Such an awesome chunky lump.

🙂

Such a sweet baby, and so good for me. I guess this is what I get when I train them early!

Kisses for “big brother”

And for something completely different, we did some photos of the whole family down the road at the most amazing setting. I have had my eye on this side road for a while now, so when Mr. Chubby’s mama suggested it I jumped at the chance.

Stunning location, beautiful family, does it get any better? It also helps these are 3 of my most favorite people too.

🙂

Just adore them.

So there you have it, a bit of a long peek but I could not help my self. Amber and Greg thanks for being so flexible this weekend and daring the Oregon weather with me. I adore you two, and cherish your friendship beyond words. Thanks for helping me make some special images, I hope you love them as much as I do.

Sweet baby L is back and cuter than ever {Salem Baby Photographer}

11.13.08

I got to spend some time with one of my all time favorite families this weekend. You might remember sweet baby L and her beautiful parents from this post a few months ago. Well the little Diva is back on my blog and even more beautiful! We battled the crazy Oregon weather and had another session this weekend. We started out at the Salem Carousel for a little something different and man was it a fun setting! I got to capture little L’s first pony ride. She was a perfect and full of smiles the whole morning.

Here are a few of my favs so far:

We thought this particular horse was appropriate since Mom & Dad met serving our country in Iraq.

Such an animated little diva, she was talking to me all morning!

Such a beautiful family. Makes my job almost too easy.

Umm can I say how cute she is again?

love all the smiles

I also adore her little hawk here, adds so much to her personality.

I just wanted to eat her up.

So there you have it! A bit of a long peek, I just could not hold back. Michelle I hope you are liking them so far, thanks for daring the Oregon weather with me. I had a great time seeing you and your little one again. I can not wait to see how she grows over the next year. I will have the whole set for you very soon!
