perfection at 9 days old {Portland Oregon Newborn Photography}

I love all of my clients, but I have to admit the tiniest ones always steal my heart. This little guy was no exception.  It had been a few months since my last newborn and I was itching to get my hands on a teeny tiny one.

Meet little Mr. A, isn’t he just delicious!

He was just so good for me.

newbie-12

Even a smile!

newbie-14

He was pretty happy to be in daddy’s strong hands can you tell. His eyes were just sparkling.

newbie-18

He slept so well for me, even though I kept moving him around. Really this is why we do newborns in the first two weeks, while they are still all curly and sleepy.

And just one of the whole family. They seem to be settling into being a new Mommy and Daddy pretty well 🙂

A & O it was a pleasure to meet you and your perfect little boy. I can not wait to show you the entire set. I had a wonderful time, thanks for letting me rearrange your furniture to get these, you have such a beautiful home. And with that I would love to offer you a comment challenge. If you can get 30 comments on this post I would be happy to give you $25 off a set of holiday cards or birth announcements. I can not wait to see these in print!

I will have the whole set for you soon, enjoy that beautiful little man.

Super cute family of four {Portland Oregon Family Photography sneak peek}

You might remember this little family from this time last year and then a maternity session earlier this year. Well Little miss M has grown and she is now even a big sister! I had the pleasure of spending Saturday morning with all four of them and we had a fun time running around the neighborhood taking some photos.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Meet the beautiful Miss S. Her eye are so stunning.

Miss M is still such a silly girl, she was cracking me up all morning. 🙂

Miss M also got to show me her awesome fire truck. Daddy is a firefighter so of course she has the best rig in the neighborhood.

Miss S also has some great silly faces of her own. Her little tongue kills me.

Such a Daddy’s girl this one. Her smile melts me.

You might notice I am not showing any of the full family we are  keep a few up our sleeves for holiday cards and gifts :). They are all so cute and  many more of this fun family to come.

And of course with a web savvy family like this one i just have to offer a comment challenge right! T & T if you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will give you $25 off one of the coffee table books you had your eye on. I will have the rest of the set for you very soon!

a nurse and a fire fighter get married…

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke right? No joke here, just the results of  a wicked fun wedding. I had the pleasure of working with the super talented and over the top fun Kacy Jo for this one. I know I have said it before, but working with other photographers is always fun for me. There are a million ways to shoot a wedding, and it is always fun to see other photographers in their “zone”. Kacy is a riot, and this particular couple Marie & Jeff had us on our toes and laughing all day.

Ok I will stop talking, look here are a few (too many!) of my favorites from the day.

It was crazy hot that day, but they made it work. I love Marie’s expressions here, she cracked me up.

Check out that dip! Jeff & Marie did this great choreographed first dance, it was so cool!

And of course the “father daughter dance” had me tearing up, I am such a sap for that stuff. These two are super close so I know it was an important moment for them, and Dad can dance!

Jeff & Marie also did this great dance to honor all the couples who had been married for many years. The couple who had been married the longest went home with a lovely gift, it was very sweet.

And anyone who has ever read this blog before knows I am a sucker for cute kids dancing at receptions. This one had no shortage of cute little ones. And these boys and girls had some mad dance skills. I was impressed!

And the “small girl with the big camera” herself ms Kacy Jo. Thanks for asking me to come help out! I had a great time even in the crazy hot weather.

Look who is 6 months old! {sweet baby sneak peek, salem oregon photography}

You might remember this amazing little man from back in the Red Wagon days.  If you have been around for a while you might even remember his Mama’s beautiful belly. Well sweet baby J is now 6 months old so it was high time to get him in front of my camera again. My how he has grown and gotten even more cute!

We met up with the whole family at the State Capital Building in Salem. I had been eying the building for a while and needed the perfect family to pull off the photo I had in mind. I am SO excited they were willing to try my crazy ideas.

But first here are a few of Mr. Sparkly eyes him self.

Just look at thoes eyes, and that drooly smile. I just adore this little guy.

They are all so cute together.

Like any 6 month old every thing goes in the mouth, I remember those teething days with my girl. It was nice of him to pick a teething toy that matched his eyes though perfectly. 🙂

I absolutly love doing this shot with all my 6 monthers. I love showing how truely little they still are compaired to mommy and daddy. Baby J of course had to switch it up and make it his own with the cool shades and too good for the camera look. I love it!

I am not sure if it was the chair or what but he looks like such a big boy here.

and this my friends is why I just had to talk them into this location for our session. I have seen the big quotes on the state capital building before but just a few weeks ago I noticed this little corner. Really it is part of a bigger quotation and I had to photoshop out a few bits of other words but I had a vision I knew it would turn out fun!

Thanks for inviting me to spend time with your awesome family again guys, and especially for putting up with me while I got to get that vision a reality. Baby J is just beautiful and I can not wait to see how he grows even more! I will have the rest of the set for you very soon! And because with all the card designing around here I am already in a festive mood I have a brand new comment challenge. J and V if you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in a set of 25 flat holiday cards on me! You choose the image and design, all you have to do is show off your little man!

Get up stand up baby! {adorable baby sneak peek}

I am one lucky girl, this summer I have had the pleasure of meeting all kinds of little ones. I have to say I a love it, babies make me happy, especially when I get to point my camera their way. Sweet baby L is no exception, a complete charmer from the very beginning. It was a hot day but this little cutie was still such a good sport for me.

I promised his parents a little peek today and man it was hard to choose. Way too many of this cute little guy to show off. So here are a few of my favorites so far:

Just look at that smile! It was almost too easy with a smile like that.

This little dude is going to be an early walker I can already tell. He LOVES to stand up.

Baby L is a lucky little man too, just look at his gorgeous parents! Sweet too, we had lots of fun.

And like any baby when he got a little cranky we stripped him down, ahhh cures the hot day blues!

Ok this last one i had to throw in because it completely cracks me up.  I am not sure if he was starting to teethe or if he was just board but he got a little obsessed at one point with eating my basket. This shot kills me!

Beth & Colby I had a great time with the three of you, even in the heat. Thanks for letting me spend some time with your little guy. Since you found me through Cute little baby A’s challenge I would be happy to do the same for you. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in a mini leather wallet album filled with images of your cute little guy. I know you are web people 😉 I am sure you are up to the challenge. There are many more cute ones of your little man coming soon, I can not wait to show you the rest.
