Amy O. - Laurelhurst Park Portrait Photography

Amy happens to be another talented young photographer here in the Portland, Oregon area. We met at a photography event a couple years back and became instant friends. Like most photographers, we love taking photos of others, but rarely get photos of ourselves! So, several weeks ago, I took Amy out to capture some updated portraits of her. I love this girl so much! She is a complete sweetheart inside and out. I truly can't even imagine her hurting a fly! And talk about bringin' on the smolder... check out that very first image!  ❤ ...I die. ❤

 Thanks for letting me take photos of you Amy! You were so much fun to photograph!

Baby Iris - Portland Newborn Session

This little sweetheart was such a gem to photograph. She was zonked out the entire session, peacefully sleeping away as I posed her. She even brought her whole family along for the session! It was a bit packed trying to fit all her family members into my tiny little NE Portland newborn studio (after all, my client's average height is usually only 20 inches long!), but it was so worth it to end up with one beautiful family photo of her whole family together. Her big sister, Nora, was a big help too. She was so sweet and gentle with her new baby sister, kissing her delicately on the forehead when asked, and helping to hold my backdrop when it needed some straightening. What lovely little girls this family has! I am so happy for them and the new little bundle of joy that's now in their lives. Congratulations, Marc, Pamela, & Nora! She is just darling!

San Francisco in Black and White

These photos are a bit more "fine art" than my usual photographs, however, I can't help but love them in black and white! These images were taken just as we entered San Francisco, on my very first trip to California. It has taken me a while to post them, but I think they were worth the wait. :) Enjoy!

Just out of curiosity, who would be interested in having prints like these in their home? The more landscape photos I take, the more I think, "Wow, this would be so pretty on my wall!" I'm considering selling prints of these and other photos from my portfolio.

Comment below to tell me if you think I should!
