Waiting on Pippa June. Portland, Oregon Maternity Photographer
Portland, Oregon Newborn and Maternity Photographer.
I have been so lucky to be able to document this beautiful mama for all three of her pregnancies. This time she is expecting her first little girl, and I could not be more excited to meet her. Maternity sessions are one of my favorite things to photograph, and I especially love when toddlers are involved to make it even more special.
London / In-Home Family Session / Portland Family Photographer
A sweet and intimate in-home session with 4 month old baby London.
I love coming into families homes and getting a little taste of their daily lives. It was such an honor to capture sweet London at such a fun stage of babyhood. Those toes and inquisitive eyes were so sweet to capture. We even go to take some photos in front of their beautiful apple trees.
Welcome Home Olivia / Intimate Newborn Photographer / Portland, OR
An intimate in-home newborn session
I have had the pleasure of photographing this family's maternity and birth photos, so it was amazing to come back and photograph newborn Olivia in her home. Her older brother is such a heart-melter, with his mama's big brown eyes. I love to do these family photo packages because each session just gets better as I get to know and love each family member and their unique personality. I say it all the time, but I am so thankful my clients trust me to document such intimate and fleeting moments for them. See more details about my packages here.
Mama and Baby Session :: Portland, Oregon
Mama and baby at home with big brother
It felt like only a week had slipped by since doing this beautiful Mama's maternity photos. I️ walked into their home to find a precious nearly four month old girl, and the beginnings of a new family of four. There is something so very magical in witnessing how one small person can change so many lives! Yet at the same time seem like they have been here this whole time...
The Stein Family :: In-Home Session :: Mt. Tabor, Portland, Oregon
I had a wonderful Saturday morning hanging out with the Stein family. In true Portland fashion, the rain came in, so we decided to take full advantage of it for some classic Portland weather photos. I actually can't believe this was my first family session where the kids jumped in puddles! Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
The Wilds :: In-Home Family Session :: Ashland, Oregon
I spent a sunny (yet slightly snowy!) Sunday afternoon with the Wild family at their home in Ashland. They recently relocated to Ashland from Portland, so I got to document the start of this new chapter for their family. It was supposed to be a quick session, but I had a hard time stopping myself, they were so fun and easy to photograph. I hope to photograph more magical Ashland families in the future!
Everett :: Newborn Photo Session :: Portland, OR
That little toddler jumping on the bed just so happens to be the little guy who kickstarted my career. My first photo session was doing maternity photos with Meghann, my friend of 24 (?!) years. Since then we have grown by two more little boys, and a lot less time to have an uninterrupted conversation. My favorite thing about being a family photographer is watching families grow, especially when they are lifelong friends. When I see those first maternity photos now, I realize just how special it was to document the beginnings of this family. xo
Pearl :: Portland Family Photographer :: Portland, Oregon
Portland, Oregon documentary family photographer.
When Todd contacted me a few days before Valentine's day and asked for a gift certificate for his wife, I knew this was a sweet family that I could not wait to meet. I walked into their home and felt the warmth and love surrounding them and their precious Pearl. I walked away feeling so grateful that I get such a unique glimpse into people's lives, and that I get to document the beauty that I witness for them.
The Greens :: Family Lifestyle Photographer :: Vancouver, WA.
I met this beautiful family at their home in Vancouver, WA. Natalie (3.5) and Julia (5.5) were so energetic and not camera shy at all! I loved getting to know them and hearing all about their "boyfriends" (or just the boyfriend's name followed by embarrassed giggles). We ventured to Officers Row for some outdoor photos during sunset. Also...Laura casually mentioned to me during the session that she happened to run a Tough Mudder that morning....no big deal. Thank you Laura, Hart, Julia, and Natalie for an exciting summer evening.
