Portland Newborn Photography - Baby Maddalyn

This little angel was born last fall to two overjoyed, unexpecting parents. Unexpecting you ask? Yes! Little Maddalyn's parents had been wanting a child of their own for several years, but when they heard of the opportunity to adopt a little baby girl who's birth parents weren't ready for raising a baby just yet, they excitedly rushed at the chance to become her family. They only had a few months notice to prepare for her arrival, so planning went into hyper-speed as they got ready to welcome her into their home. Then they got the call. She was here! Two suddenly became a family three, and I couldn't be more happy for this sweet family.

Congratulations, Maddalyn's family, on your little bundle of joy! Those chunky cheeks are just out-of-this-world adorable! ❤︎

Pearl District Portland Maternity Photos - Mona & Derek

This sweet couple just had their very first baby, and I am so excited for them!! Portland’s Pearl District is a sentimental spot for Mona & Derek, so we knew their maternity portraits should take place there. Not to mention, Mona and Derek are avid art collectors and love spending their free time exploring the Pearl’s many art galleries. Their session happened to land on First Thursday, the day of the month where Art galleries on 13th Avenue open their doors and hold a street festival for art lovers in Portland! We walked down 13th Avenue, capturing photos of Mona & Derek along they way, and finished our session just before the crowds began to arrive. The fall colors were just starting to turn vibrant, and Mona’s beautiful bright red dress looked stunning next to Derek’s blues. Just a few short weeks after this session a new member of this sweet family was born. Stay posted for photos from his newborn session, coming soon!
