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.” […]

…: 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 […]
….: 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 […]
…: warm sunset :… Maternity photography, Vancouver WA
Whew! What a blog post…There were just SO many images I loved from this session… Last time I saw this stunning family (Hello, Genetics? I have a bone to pick.), baby Addison was several months old and deathly afraid of two things: grass, and the big black box I had up by my face. 🙂 […]
…: Meet Presley :… Portland Oregon Birth photographers
So, a bit of why there’s not a lot of “leading up to” photos in this little ol’ birth blog. Here is a brief synopsis for my readers. Mama and I are texting the night before, after she’s just arrived at the hospital. Conversation goes something like this, at about 10PM before B-day: K: […]
