First steps | Portland family photographer

Gorgeous session the other day with this family, down at the beautiful St. John’s Bridge. The repeating arches are just an architectural detail to die for! Their boys were so sweet and so cute!

Oh the places you will go……….

I love you THIS much!

LOVE! I just love this!

And daddy Brad with their youngest, who was just taking his first steps and, if I’ve heard correctly, started officially walking just a couple of days after our shoot!

Awwwwww, he is so gorgeous!!!

Rachel brought some fun “shutter shades” to play with. I remember those from the ’80′s…can’t believe they’re back!

And we wanted a good amount of pictures of them as a couple:

haha, you crazy kids!

Rachel, wow, just look at those eyes!

cathy hansen - Jen, I especially love the picture of the oldest boy looking right into the camera (without the glasses). I like either of the last two with mom & dad together. There are so many wonderful pictures for them the chose from. I know I’d have trouble deciding.
