I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful girl's baby shower in January, and I was SO excited when her sweet parents asked me to take some newborn photos for them. Fiora is simply precious and she also happens to have the most amazing hair! Thank you Rachel and Paul for letting me capture this special time in your new families life. Also, I have to mention that Rachel's mom was there too and she happens to be the sweetest "Wela" and expert baby whisperer. She even gave me an umbrella to make it back to my car dry. Fiora is one lucky lady.
The Gaitans :: Maternity Family Session :: Portland, OR.
This beautiful family is awaiting the arrival of a new baby boy in just a few short weeks. I can already tell Cecilia is going to be one very sweet older sister, and I can't wait to see what he looks like!
Elizabeth + Sons :: Family Lifestyle Session :: Portland, OR.
I spent a gorgeous Spring evening with this beautiful family. My favorite part of my job is connecting with new families and this one in particular really touched me. I hope the images of this clan of 3 can speak the words I am at a loss for.
The Stettlers :: Baby Bump :: Portland, OR.
I had so much fun meeting Barbara and her husband Joel, who are expecting their first baby boy in early June. And I can't forget soon-to-be big brother Boz, their sweet dog. We are due one day apart, so we really bonded over our pregnancy joys (and woes). I am really looking forward to meeting their baby when he arrives! I can already tell what loving parents they will be to the lucky guy. And extra kudos to Barbara for being a trooper in heels all over (a somewhat mushy) Laurelhurst park!
Ryder and Co. :: Family Lifestyle Session :: Portland, OR.
I spent the first (extra beautiful) sunset of 2015 capturing this silly guy and his family. Alden and I have been hanging out with Ryder once a week for over a year now and it has been so fun to see them grow together. From crawling, to walking, to running, and now playing their favorite game of "naked no mail" (they made it up themselves!). Thanks for being my first session of the year guys! xoxo
Lex :: Newborn Lifestyle Session :: Portland, OR.
Alexander (Lex) was 7 weeks old when I got to meet him. He spent his first 11 days in the NICU, and it is very clear how grateful his loving parents are to have him home in their arms. I can't get over his sweet little face, especially that perfectly cute little chin! Thank you Dani and Darin for inviting me into your home.
The Millers :: Oliver + Corwin :: Portland, OR.
I had so much fun with this beautiful family. Oliver (4) and Corwin (15 months) were so sweet and loving to each other. It is easy to see they get this from their warm and welcoming parents, Emily and Phil. They had a dance party in Corwin's room, played baseball and soccer outside, and made me practically forget I was there to work, because they made my job so easy and fun! Thank you Emily and Phil for allowing me to capture this sweet time in your family's life.
Paul + Rachel :: Baby Shower :: Portland, OR.
The sun was shining bright for this lovely couple's January baby shower. They are expecting their baby girl in March and she is already very loved! The shower was held at the gym Paul owns. This travel themed shower had thoughtful details, cute babies, excited grandparents, and the sweetest onesie design station. Also, can we talk about how gorgeous Rachel looks? This baby is going to be a cute one! Thanks for having me capture this exciting time you two.
Oskar + Otto :: Newborn Lifestyle Session :: Portland, OR.
I played high school volleyball with Danielle and have not see her since our glory days. It was really sweet to meet her husband, Thor, and to see what a beautiful mother she has become to these two adorable boys, Oskar (2) and Otto (2 weeks in these photos!). Thank you for trusting me to capture this sweet time in your life, a family growing from 3 to 4!
The Hunters :: Newborn Ethan :: West Linn, Oregon.
It is such a joy to witness people gracefully transition into parenthood. These two couldn't be more patient, kind, and loving to their precious 3 week old son, Ethan. Thank you for welcoming me into your home (for many hours)!
