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!
Chic Magazine Cover Contest
I'm so excited to have one of my images in the running for the cover of Chic Magazine! The next theme for the cover is Color, and when I ran across this image of Erica that I captured earlier this year, I couldn't think of a more perfect image to submit! The cherry blossoms in full bloom made a beautiful pink backdrop for her handmade flower crown.
Hopefully, this image of Erica will end up on the cover of Chic...we won't find out which image wins until January 2015!

Matt & Ashley Maternity - Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
This sweet (and super stylish!) couple is about to have their first baby and I couldn't be more happy for them!! The day of their session, I asked Matt and Ashely if they had brought any props to their session that they wanted me to photograph. To my delight, they pulled out a pair of the cutest little brown leather baby shoes I have ever seen! And not only were they adorable on their own, but by coincidence, Matt & Ashely's shoes even matched!! I couldn't resist incorporating the shoes into several of their images.
We photographed their session at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden amongst weeping willows, and Portland's beautifully lush backdrop. Just by looking at their images you can tell how deep their love for each other is, and what loving parents they will make. It's days like these I get so excited about my job!! I love capturing these priceless memories for my clients to cherish for years to come. And nothing brings me more joy than getting to share them with you!
Check back soon to see Matt & Ashley's baby boy, Henry, once he's born in a couple weeks! (P.S. How precious is that name!?!)
