It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I snapped this for a family a few days ago and loved the feeling it had and wanted to share. Is your Christmas tree up yet? Loving this time of year.

Another downtown crew..

I got so excited when this family chose the downtown location, I love this spot more and more everytime I show up! To top it off, for some reason... I have had the best luck with weather when coming here, I'm talking beautiful-sunny-not a cloud in sight days in November?!? I'm thinking this might just be the last gorgeous day before the 4 month streak of winter rain hits the Portland area... but I am hopeing to be wrong! What a cute family I had the chance to get to know and photograph a few days ago, they had quite the goofy personalities which made them warm up to me fast, letting me capture some great images. Here are a few teasers before your gallery is done.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend!





Couldn't leave out a family shot under my all time fav tree, loooove it!

another sweet bundle

I could photograph newborns all day... literally, I usually arrive to a newborn session with a disclaimer: I will take photos of your newborn, just kick me out when your sick of me! There is just something about that new little life, every little movement seems picture worthy... and I love it! Little Miss L was just a doll baby, and just fit right into her sweet little family.





one of the sweet big brother

sweet find.

Just finishing up this cute families gallery, and couldn't help but share this sweet image I came across, love finding that bond between young siblings... you always know it's in there somewhere.

Tis the Season for Families...

I had a great session with this family of seven, they toughed through a {brrrr} freezing hour of family pictures! They were such good sports and all left with little pink noses. Hopefully these next few images will put a smile on their parents faces...

my blue eyed girl.

I recently purchased this cute little hat from a sweet Etsy Shop, so I had to have a little photo shoot for my baby girl. Seventeen months! Sheesh, feels like I just had her.

boys, boys, boys...

...you just gotta love them! These three little guys were just the sweetest, once they warmed up to me their personalities just flowed. They were totally content going crazy in the leaves and boy oh boy do they love the camera... being behind the camera. They were totally fascinated in my camera, and were thrilled when I let them snap a few! Cute, cute boys!

gggoooorgeous!!!!

This family is absolutely beautiful, they need to be in some magazine or something, don't you think?! I can't wait to meet their new little guy in a month or so. He will be just as stunning. Really... look at little K's big brown eyes and curls, doesn't get much cuter. I had such a great time, thanks for putting up with all my out there ideas!

I had way way too many favs.. you'll definetly have plenty to choose from, this was definetly one of my favorite sesssions yet! Your gallery will be up shortly...

Just in case...

you weren't convinced the first time around... what a handsome little guy.

brotherly love

Such a good looking family! And those boys... I already have dibs on one of them for my daughter... that is if they are around in 15 years. I love Oregon City it has a great down town area and fabulous fall colors, I would love to come back here and photograph near some of the awesome older buildings that are just everywhere! I have been so lucky lately with the rain... it stops for a good hour while I get the job done, then a few minutes, after I am headed off it just down pours. Thank you mother nature!

parents to be...

I had the greatest time photographing this sweet couple, who just so happens to be expecting their first baby in a few weeks. I was excited when they let me choose the location, this is one of my favorite fall spots... but it can be quite the drive for some so I rarely mention it. Thanks for making the drive, we were lucky mother nature gave us a break, literally 5 minutes after we ended the session the rain came! I can't wait to meet that little lady next month.. she's gonna be gorgeous.
