Walking on Sunshine // Beaverton Family Photographer

This session will always always always remind me of September Sunshine.  We soaked up every bit of light on this playful evening and I really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful location to showcase their sweet personalities. Berry-picking farm?  Check.  Gorgeous light? Check.  Adorable Family? Check! Check!

I love my clients and I love that I have the privilege of capturing their interaction as a family through my lens.  There are many reasons why I like this cute bunch, but I’ll just name a few…

1. They like Chick-fil-a.

2. They are willing to camp out to be one of the first 100 customers at the said Chick-fil-a that is being built near us.

3. They got me an ice cream cone after the session, hence, future clients better step it up:)

I think that covers the most important aspects of our relationship.  And the fact that we are forever bonded through photographer-client privilege now (I’m not exactly sure what that means, but I bet it’s super special).

On the Willamette River // Lake Oswego Maternity Photographer

I LOVED shooting this Maternity Session.  Deepti was not only stunning to look at, but her personality was so warm and inviting and I had the best time with her and her husband! These soon-to-be parents could not contain their excitement, and I was so thrilled to be the one documenting this sweet stage in their life.  I loved all the laughter, the cute snuggling, and the happiness every time her sweet belly was mentioned.  It was so funny to realize that we both traveled 30 minutes to be at this location— only to live 5 minutes from one another.  It couldn’t have been more perfect, though!  I wish I could say that the haze was a foggy dream as it appears in these pictures, but it was actually the smoke from the NW wildfires that have overtaken this beautiful side of the country.  I’m glad that we could turn such sadness into happiness through these photos and I am so excited for their darling little girl to arrive:)

Baby Brayden // Beaverton Newborn Photographer

2015-08-19_00042015-08-19_00022015-08-19_00052015-08-19_00102015-08-19_00062015-08-19_00072015-08-19_00082015-08-19_00012015-08-19_00092015-08-19_0003

I am just ooh-ing and ahh-ing over this adorable newborn.  His natural smile completely brightened my day and I can’t get over how chill he was the whole session.  There was the occasional “please go to sleep” moments, but at two weeks old he was the perfect picture taker and I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to capture his sweet face! Mom and Dad were obviously so happy at his arrival and I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend a morning.  “The littlest feet make the biggest footprints in our hearts.” (unknown)

I.can’t.even.handle.these.pictures.  So inspiring. So fresh.  So whimsical and lovely and spirited and fun.  Katie and Matt and her cute baby belly were a DREAM to photograph.  I asked them to meet me at a local berry picking farm and it was everything I could have hoped for.  The levels of light as the sun went down and the color contrasts it created made me so so happy.  And isn’t her maternity dress to die for?  This hot Mama was STUNNING.  The sweet blackberries and farm fresh-cut flowers added a homespun touch to the evening and I simply loved every moment!  It is always so fun to meet expecting parents, but I was just in awe of how completely grounded and solid their strength in the whole process is. It’s as if they have already done this before! I truly FELT their excitement for this new life that is about to come into the world and the momentum that it takes to get there.  I left the night wanting to spend more time with them, and thus begins my new crush on their sweet growing family:)  PS.  Those berries were seriously delicious.
