I’ll admit it: at first, I didn’t really understand why Joel and Kelley were getting married at 9:27 in the morning. It just seemed so early. But they were carrying the Pi Day wedding theme to the last decimal they could – 3.14.15, 9:27am – and you just have to admire that kind of commitment. So I met up with them (and Joel’s lovely parents) at Portland’s beautiful Cathedral Park bright and early so that we could take some photos before the ceremony. It was rainy and a little bit chilly, but the light was just right and the happy couple were just adorable. I was honored to be a part of their beautifully intimate wedding ceremony. And afterwards, when they went off to have a delicious celebratory lunch at Salty’s, I went home and took a nap. So a pretty perfect day all around. Congratulations, you two!
Portland’s unexpected early Spring continues, and I recently got to photograph beautiful baby Meyers and her parents in Portland’s lovely Peninsula Park. Meyers got all dressed up in the world’s tiniest party dress and we got some nice cozy photographs at home before heading out to the park with Scout, the family dog. Pretty much a perfect morning.
This is a first for me: two lovely maternity sessions with two lovely sisters in two short weeks! I had a fantastic time with Holly’s sister Leia and her family just a few weeks ago, so I was really excited to meet up with Holly and Jake in Portland’s gorgeous Cathedral Park. Portland treated us to a beautiful spring-like February afternoon and I got to take pictures of these two being adorable. So lots of winning, is what I’m saying.
I was so excited to head down to Eugene last weekend to have an amazing maternity and family session with this adorable family. Little Tilly is about the giggliest little girl I’ve ever met, and even though it was a little chillier than everyone expected, we had a lovely time walking (and running, and jumping) around Hendricks Park and taking photos.
Oh. My. Goodness. That hat! Those cheeks! Throw in some lovely parents and a gorgeous Portland fall day, and I think this McCleay Park family session with 6-month-old Chase is a big winner. Many thanks to Chase’s Auntie for gifting this session to her sister as a baby gift! (In my humble opinion, professional baby photos make a fantastic shower gift. Just sayin’.)
I’m a lucky photographer to have such amazing clients. I photographed her parents’ wedding last year and their maternity session earlier this year, and now I get to photograph beautiful baby Serena! I just love watching these families grow!
I love it when my wedding photography clients call me for maternity and baby sessions! So lovely to meet up with Adam and Anne at her family's vineyard where I photographed their wedding a year earlier. Hooray for adorable, growing families!
When I showed up for Lou’s second session in his “baby’s first year” package, his mom Gina informed me that he had declined to take his nap that morning. We were on borrowed time. Usually this spells disaster for a baby photo session, but not this day. Little Lou was so happy to see me! With his big smiles and curious, playful nature shining everywhere, we had a great time, and got some really adorable photos… Can’t wait for session #3!
