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!

"Prince" Pottle

I recently got the chance to photograph this little cutie.  The story is...the Pottle's weren't sure what they were going to name their son until Wesley was born. So through out their pregnancy, the Pottle's simply referred to their son as "Prince Pottle." And without even knowing this, I had planned, and made, a prince's crown to use for their session! It was fate! Wesley was the most perfect, cooperative little man. I could have photographed him for hours!  

Thank you Pottle Family for letting me capture your beautiful little family! I feel so blessed to have met you! Sorry for making your decision process so difficult! There were just TOO many adorable images to show you! ;)
