These sweet sisters surprised their Mom with the gift of portraits for Mother’s Day. We headed out to the park on a rare sunny spring day and laughed and played in the grass. I love the dandelion flowers in their hair! The photo shoot was great fun, and I know their Mom appreciated their thoughtful gift and will treasure these photos for always. Nicely done, Kayla and Jenna, you made your Mom proud!
Julia’s photos have a dreamy feel to them, with a touch of sunlight, rich green ferns and lovely colors. Julia has beautiful eyes and fun curly hair, which is highlighted in her senior photos. She was so fun to photograph and happy to play along with me. She chose a park near her house that I have not photographed at before, and I’m so glad she did. It had some great fall colors and textures - lots of large rocks to sit on and tons of gorgeous Licorice Ferns all over the hillsides. Julia looks beautiful and her eyes and smile just draw you in. Thanks for choosing me as your senior photographer and for showing me a great new location!
One of the fun things about going into Portland for a Senior Photo Shoot is that the city is always changing and it looks different each time I go. Peyton’s photo shoot has such great energy and style, he’s a natural in front of the camera and rocking some model moves too. As we ventured around we found some awesome graffiti that definitely added a pop to the photos. He looks great whether he’s in his dress shirt or a t-shirt and his photos look awesome with a big smile or a serious look. I hope you enjoy his photos! Happy Senior year, Peyton!
The Richardsons took advantage of my Fall mini-session with their two adorable boys. Mini-sessions can be great for families with young children - in just about 20 minutes we can get some great family and individual shots - perfect for framing, gifting, or for making holiday cards. Being the mom to three boys, I love the energy of young boys. To channel that energy into great lifestyle photos, I have them run around their parents and toss leaves into the air - so fun for them! Check out these cuties in their blog!
The Whitleys are such a beautiful family and their love shines through in all their photos. When taking family photos, I love to get the whole family as a group, and also the parents together, the siblings together, and each of the siblings alone to make sure everyone gets their own time to shine! Toss in the family pets and some beautiful Fall colors with the right lighting, and voila! Gorgeous photos to hang on your walls forever! Please enjoy the Whitley’s blog, and make sure you scroll to my favorite one at the end.
I’ve taken a lot of family photos over the years, but there’s something about taking a mom-to-be as she’s creating her own family. We had a Maternity photo shoot at Lora and Noah’s house a few weeks before Lora was due. Both mom and dad were of course super excited to meet their new baby and were happy to have photos of this special time in their lives. Enjoy their sweet photos, so full of love!
It was so fun to photograph the whole Hlad family, including the kids’ boyfriend and girlfriend. We got such great shots of them all at this quick Fall mini-session. Check out some of my favorites in their blog.
We got some gorgeous colors at the Clark family’s photo shoot this past Fall. Jacek had his senior photo shoot down at Field’s Bridge Park earlier that year, and the family was excited to round out their photos with a family session as well. Between the two sessions, they have plenty of large, beautiful photos to hang proudly on their walls. I know they’ll enjoy them for years to come! Enjoy their blog.
