Aren't these kids cute?!

I've been photographing these kids for three years. One of the main things I love about being a photographer is the opportunity to watch families grow and be a part of providing great memories for them. I can't believe Henry turned one already! It seems like just last week that I was taking mom's maternity portraits and his newborn session portraits. He is such a cute little guy! It was really fun to go out to their new house for his 1st birthday session and to include his big sisters, too. Here is a sneak peek for mom.

Kerissa in the clover field

I have lived here in Oregon for years now and have always wanted to do a portrait session in one of the clover fields that bloom around here this time of year. My little girl is 4 this year and actually wanted to do this...which in itself is AMAZING! lol So we packed up the car with some pretty dresses and big hats and took off for a local field. I had a really hard time narrowing these down. :-D The only thing I didn't think about was how many honey bees would also be in the field. We managed to get these by picking spots with less bees and then moving to a spot close to the edge of the field. The bees were more interested in the flowers than Kerissa and she found some ladybugs, too, so she was happy. I can't wait to get one of these printed on canvas!

Kerissa - 4 yrs old

And not to be outdone by her brother...here is our Miss Kerissa. She LOVES to dance and she feels like a princess in this dress.

Just for fun - Austin - 6 1/2 weeks

Just had to share these snapshots of Austin today. He's 6 1/2 weeks now and already in 3 month outfits. Uncle Mark picked this one out for him, so here he is...just chillin'.

How YOU doin'?


What up, dawg?

My maternity session

I know this is a bit backwards...I already posted my baby's first images...but I thought I would share my own maternity session with you. My sister helped me with it. She has been my family photographer for awhile and always does a great job! Together, we had a lot of fun trying things and getting some great shots.

My baby

For those of you who don't know, we welcomed a new addition to our family on April 5th. His name is Austin and we think he's pretty cute. Here are a few images of our new baby with his biggest fans. :-)

So much fun...

This senior session was a blast! I've known these girls for about 5 years and really enjoyed my time with them. They are beautiful inside and out. There were a lot of laughs, too...some at my expense, since I was about 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. :-) Thanks, ladies, for a very memorable experience! These images will always make me smile!
