…: alan, revisited :… Portland Oregon newborn photography

For this little guy’s full story, see his birth blog below. But not before you revel in his overwhelming cuteness.  Mama told me they saw lots of hair on the ultrasound and Alan did not disappoint 😉 I big swirly <3 him. xoxoxo

…: 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.” […]

…: 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 […]

…: 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 […]

….: Quilts + Drool :…. Portland OR kids photographer

I don’t know why but I just *love* this session…  I always say 6 months is my favorite age for baby photos and meeting Lundyn again really solidified by feelings on that 😉 Plus, her mama is like the coolest chick ever and every time we call or text, we end up chatting for way […]
