Ana + Eddy | Portland family photographer

August 9, 2011 Posted in family, headshots

Ana will be starting her orthodontic practice soon, so needed to update her headshot. And we wanted to get plenty of shots as a couple and with their pets too. I had a great time with these guys!

Family time….

Awww, sweet Puchita!

Puchita loves her family!

Even King Louis showed his face from time to time….on his schedule, as cats do…. :)

Then off into our beautiful city:

As I was telling Ana, “yeah, that guy loves you a little bit”. So sweet, and after 4 years of marriage, they definitely still look like newlyweds!

LOVE this!

Go Eddy, show me that “Blue Steel”! Haha!

The most adorable couple!

Michela | Portland senior portraits

August 7, 2011 Posted in senior reps, Seniors

My dear goddaughter Michela is a senior this year!!! So of course I had to do her portraits! We chose to shoot at the Waterfront, which I love, so many varied locations to use there! And at the end we stopped by Lincoln HS to do a couple of soccer shots, she’s a fabulous soccer player and that needed to be highlighted!:)Isn’t she gorgeous?
Please to enjoy…….

She’s 17. ;)

leaving the nest | family photography in portland

August 5, 2011 Posted in family, Seniors

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!!!

Such a beautiful new girly! Here she is at 5 days old.

Amazing eye contact from such a young one:

I love this bed for little ones! And we were able to incorporate the quilt that her mom made her!

I’m such a sucker for lovely baby rolls….

A couple with big brother…

I shot both sibling’s feet together, LOVED that they positioned their feet the exact same, on their own!

sweet 3 | Portland family photography

July 26, 2011 Posted in family, kids

This session was won at an auction benefiting the Domestic Violence Resource Center…..actually, she procured the donation. But she was so excited about the session that she had to have it for her family! So very sweet! I loved working with these three.

cuddles

Mom and son are so loving together….they do the “kissing hand”, something I’m familiar with….there is a book of this name, and the idea is that the little one can carry the kiss they receive in the morning with them all day. Love it.

I love it when the family allows me to get a few of them as a couple too. Makes my heart happy.
