Picture Perfect at Pittock

I have been playing with this delightful family since before these beautiful twins were born! I can't believe how much they have grown in a year. They are now 2 and full of energy! We decided to go to Pittock Mansion in Portland for our photo fun. It was an overcast day, which I love, so everything was perfect! These two are so beautiful. Just look at little "Z"'s eyes and little "I"'s smile! Breath taking!

Mom is always such a huge help in getting them to giggle and to relax and have fun. She brought lots of snacks, drinks, and favorite toys. It is such a privilege to be able to watch my little clients grow up each year. I am so lucky!

Here is beautiful "Z" and "I". Twin sister and brother and completely wonderful!

Caitlyn and Ron

I had the most fun with these two! When we were talking at our consultation, we got to know each other and I mentioned that I hadn't tried doing night time photography and was itching to try it. They were both intrigued, so we agreed to meet in downtown Portland and then drive over the Willamette to get the gorgeous Portland skyline.

Caitlyn and Ron were great sports when I had them all but making out in front of Portland's city dwellers! They love to play Scrabble in the park together, so we made sure to grab a few shots of that. I don't think you will see the words that are spelled on the board, but they are I LOVE YOU FOREVER. Fun!

My husband, Robert, and I are going to get to play again with these delightful people at the beginning of September when they are getting married. We can't wait!

Here you go guys! You both look stunning in these photos!

Little Blue and His Zoo...plus a little baseball and a sock monkey

Here is Little Blue at 4 months! I was so excited to see all of them! I love hanging out with this family! Facebook has given me the opportunity to get to know more about my beloved clients and this mommy's posts always make me smile.

They brought along Blue's safari outfit complete with a menagerie of stuffed jungle toys. I had my old trunks and we put him snuggly right in the middle of his animals! I love his little orange outfit! Then we got into America's favorite past time and he suited up. His mommies brought a baseball, a bat and a mitt. There is one photo of him holding the bat (a little quick maneuvering on my part!) where he is looking up to the side. This photo melts me every time I see it.

Mommy then brought out his sock monkey. He also has a sock monkey "jack in the box" which I hope we will use for future fun.

As you can clearly see, Little Blue is the apple of his mommies eyes and he is one lucky little boy!

Here you go M3, love you guys!

We Two are One!

It is always an adventure photographing one year-olds because they have recently become very mobile! I usually plan on chasing after my little clients from about 10 months to age 4! These two stunning children came to see me last year when they were new. Now I got to see them and their wonderful parents again.

Mom wasn't sure we even got one good photo of them because they were not "cooperating". I had to giggle, because I was seeing what was in the camera, and I knew that these photos would be priceless. I may have been sweating by the end, but chasing after these two was a pure delight!



I would like to Introduce you to little "C" and "R". Both are beautiful and completely delightful! I hope to be able to watch them grow up through the years.

When I Grow Up...

When this Mommy called me for photos, she mentioned that she wanted some images of her sons with their Daddy in his Fireman Uniform. I was so excited, but didn't remember that she mentioned she had a child's size uniform for her boys! They looked so adorable next to Daddy in their "big boy's" outfit! The shots of them with him are so priceless!

They also have a beautiful little princess for a sister! She gets her incredible coloring and blue eyes from her gorgeous mother! I love the shots of her in her white ruffled dress and most definitely the tutu and pink hat! I grabbed the boys in their shorts without shirts for some fun in the stream! As you can see, they were completely delightful and full of giggles!

So, let me introduce little "C", "T" and "M"! These are three beautiful children who belong to a wonderful family!

Precious Gifts

Here are the precious children of my previous post! We had such a beautiful, peaceful time together. I had my studio heated to at least 1000 degrees, so the adults were all melting into little puddles, but brother and sister slept peacefully throughout. Mommy and Daddy were completely in love with these two little bundles. I'm sure you will be able to see their easy-going and gentle natures in these photos. Capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments is so dear to me! I felt so privileged to witness the beginnings of this beautiful family.

There is a photo hidden here which made Daddy exclaim "That's my boy!" I'll let you see if you can figure out which one.

Introducing beautiful sweet "C" and "M". They are the pure delight of their parents and I am so excited to see all of them throughout this year.
