leaving the nest | family photography in portland

This very sweet family has so much going on, so much travel and life plans in the works, and the “kids” are starting to make their adult lives. We wanted to capture them while they were all still home. They have such obvious love for each other, such respect.

As I photographed the parents, Chuck said “Still in love after 25 years of marriage” ….and you can tell!

And a couple of the siblings together….

Ben: I think he’s only grown more handsome since I photographed him for his senior pictures.

We wanted to capture Kellie in a special way to celebrate her graduation from college! So beautiful!

Thanks, all!!!
