The Stein Family :: In-Home Session :: Mt. Tabor, Portland, Oregon

in , ,

I had a wonderful Saturday morning hanging out with the Stein family. In true Portland fashion, the rain came in, so we decided to take full advantage of it for some classic Portland weather photos. I actually can't believe this was my first family session where the kids jumped in puddles! Here are a few of my favorites from the day. 

The Wilds :: In-Home Family Session :: Ashland, Oregon

in ,

I spent a sunny (yet slightly snowy!) Sunday afternoon with the Wild family at their home in Ashland. They recently relocated to Ashland from Portland, so I got to document the start of this new chapter for their family. It was supposed to be a quick session, but I had a hard time stopping myself, they were so fun and easy to photograph. I hope to photograph more magical Ashland families in the future! 

Everett :: Newborn Photo Session :: Portland, OR

That little toddler jumping on the bed just so happens to be the little guy who kickstarted my career. My first photo session was doing maternity photos with Meghann, my friend of 24 (?!) years. Since then we have grown by two more little boys, and a lot less time to have an uninterrupted conversation. My favorite thing about being a family photographer is watching families grow, especially when they are lifelong friends. When I see those first maternity photos now, I realize just how special it was to document the beginnings of this family. xo

The Greens :: Family Lifestyle Photographer :: Vancouver, WA.

I met this beautiful family at their home in Vancouver, WA. Natalie (3.5) and Julia (5.5) were so energetic and not camera shy at all! I loved getting to know them and hearing all about their "boyfriends" (or just the boyfriend's name followed by embarrassed giggles). We ventured to Officers Row for some outdoor photos during sunset. Also...Laura casually mentioned to me during the session that she happened to run a Tough Mudder that morning....no big deal. Thank you Laura, Hart, Julia, and Natalie for an exciting summer evening.
