My babies in the summertime

Awww... my babies! I've been wanting to do a summery session with them in a grassy field  and the other night my vision came true :) I did a similar shoot with them two years ago when Joseph was only 3 months old :) They MOSTLY behaved, although Joseph required some bribery via sugar treats and Hailey largely refused to look at the camera or hold her bouquet this way or that; these two are DEFINITELY my toughest clients. The pictures where Joe appears to be yelling at the camera was actually him yelling, "STOPPPPPP ITTTTTTT!" at the top of his lungs at me for jumping like a frog and singing to him (one of my best tricks for "normal" toddlers). However... we still got some great ones! I love photos that allow personalities to shine through and this is definitely how I'll remember their personalities this summer. Enjoy!

Baby Isla - 6 Months

Little Isla at 6 months... sitting up, rolling over, giggling, chattering, and smiling smiling smiling! What a sweet little girl :) So happy to be capturing her first year on film!

Spring Baby

I have to say, I am loving all of these maternity sessions I've had lately! Spring is such a nice time to have a baby :) Here is the latest, from today, of new-parents-to-be :) Enjoy your sneak peek!

Jessica and Brandon - Engaged!

I am so excited for the 2012 wedding season, it's not even funny! I met Jessica at A Country Bridal Affair and she ended up being the lucky winner of my raffle drawing for half off an engagement session! She quickly booked her August 4th wedding date with me, which will be on her family's private residence in the foothills of Mt. Hood. I can't wait! Enjoy your sneak peek and happy planning! 

Sweet Fall Session

Here is another session from last month, taken on Studio 623 Photography property! Have I mentioned how much I love my new home and studio? I do. Very much :) I've been loving the fall colors and splendor that our trees have to offer. It's only going to get better! This session was for old friends of ours and I got to meet their youngest daughter for the first time. She is such a sweetie. Big sister loves her very much, I could tell!
