…: welcome, baby Alan :… OHSU birth photographer, Portland OR

I met Helene for the first time when she was around 38 weeks pregnant. In a coffee shop in downtown Portland, towards the end of the first time I met Helene, I remember asking her: “Do you believe in your heart you are going to go home with a baby?”  To which she responded: “No.” […]

It’s always special to be a part of a birth, but I am even more happy to have been present for this one because this amazing family has already moved to Arizona, where they are no doubt laughing at us under our rain cloud.  Thank you to all the people who let me be a […]

…: 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 […]

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 […]
