…: Allyson, 1 month :… Portland Oregon baby photographer

Sometimes….sometimes you just don’t get around to doing “newborn” photos during that first week. I have always been a firm believer in the idea that you can take beautiful photos of a kid at any age, and lately I’ve been having particularly good luck with mixed lifestyle/newborn sessions and older babies.  Some cuddling, some posing…I […]

…: the birth of zoey :… birth photographers portland or

Oooohkay. Where to begin with this birth. Let me preface this post by saying that e-friends are totally real. You don’t have to live next door to someone to appreciate their friendship… I know this mama from an internet forum and met her for the first time when she happened to be in Portland over […]

…: Lily, day 26 :… Portland Oregon lifestyle photography

When Lily’s beautiful mama contacted me (we’ve met before for family photos) I was excited to get to photograph her new baby… But what? A month old you say?  Uh oh. 🙂 I went into this session planning to do a mix of lifestyle + traditional newborn because I didn’t think miss Lily was going […]

…: August in September :… Portland, Oregon newborn photography

Sometimes, when I am tired or “not in the mood” to shoot (admit it, all you photographers, it happens sometimes)…it’s easy to get in a funk.   I get in my car packed full of newborn stuff that I am not really in the mood to haul around and heave a sigh to myself. I’m […]

…: Sydney :… Portland, OR baby photographer

Every once in a while I cross paths with people during random photography-related happenings and they make an impression. This time, it happened twice. I met Julie (Sydney’s mom), Jami and Jenna (aunties) the first time at a wedding I shot earlier in the summer…They are the kind of people that when parting ways, I […]

…: Ethan, 6 months :… Portland OR baby photographer

When I look at all these 6 month sessions they look so…easy, ha! But don’t be fooled! Ethan is so SO cute.  He was totally content for our session but his mom had to *laugh* to get him to smile…Fake laughing turns out can make a person a wee bit lightheaded, but give up, we […]

….: Carson + Fiona :…. Portland, Oregon kids photographer

I truly <3 this family 🙂 Between newborn photos, family photos, helping them with web design and watching their teeny tiny newborn Fiona grow into this adorable little KID…They are one of those families I look forward to seeing every time I see their name on my calender.  I could wear sweats to a session […]

…: Another Sky :… West Linn Children’s photography

There is another sky, Ever serene and fair, And there is another sunshine, Though it be darkness there; Never mind faded forests, Austin, Never mind silent fields – Here is a little forest, Whose leaf is ever green; Here is a brighter garden, Where not a frost has been; In its unfading flowers I hear […]
