….: feeling lucky :…. Portland OR newborn photographer Vancouver WA newborn photographer

Everyone gets tired (or maybe just overwhelmed?) with their job sometimes, right?  No matter how great it is, it’s still work.  It’s a demand, it creates pressure… But I feel so incredibly lucky.   Because after just a few days of any sort of “break”… I sit down and it’s like my fingers are burning […]

…: bright sunshiny day:… Portland, OR children’s photographer

Bah! I can’t even express how much I enjoyed these little girls. I’m a sucker for girls anyway but these two made my job about as easy as it can get. When I first flipped through the photos from their session on my computer after uploading, I found myself smiling. Even knowing them just the […]

…: Sweet Savannah :…. Portland Oregon newborn photographer

…: 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 […]
