If you are wondering if I like photographing toddlers, just look at these photos and you’ll know the answer! We had SO much fun! Despite the chilling cold weather, we made the best of this outdoor photo session and the boys quickly forgot about their tingly fingertips.  The boys were surprised with everything I pulled from my “prop” bag. It kept them interested and wanting more!

I need to first start off by saying, I just LOVE this little girl!  Not in just a cutesie kind of way either, but more in the way that it makes me want to have a third child.  She is so darling and when she smiles, her whole entire face lights up.  We had a ton of fun taking photos, trying on goofy hats and laughing at each other!

Courtney and Ben are so much fun and it’s hard not to laugh when you’re around them. I had the pleasure of shooting their engagement photos including their adorable daughter, Peyton! She stole my heart right away with those big brown eyes and gleaming smile. Thanks for a fun morning!

This wasn’t going to be your normal senior photo shoot, we were all going to hop on our horses and head off onto the trail for a little trail ride first. Then stop along the way here and there and take a ton of photos….but the rain prevented all of this from happening. So instead, we met up at Clackamette Park in Oregon City (where it wasn’t raining), pulled the horses out, got prettied up, and I shot away! I’m so glad it worked out, and we didn’t have to cancel.

I was so excited to photograph this beautiful family and mother-to-be for the third time.   They have two boys, and are expecting their third boy in August.  I’m glad we had room to run around at this shoot because 5 year old Colby, and 2 1/2 year old Garrett were very busy!  They’re going to have a lot of things to teach their new brother, from riding four-wheelers to climbing fences.   I can’t wait to capture all three of them together someday.

When I started driving down to Harrisburg (just north of Eugene) for this wedding, it was pouring down rain.  After passing through Salem, I saw sun breaks and the rain completely stopped for the rest of the day and evening!  I got the privilege to work with two amazing photographers at this wedding, Karen Stott and Melanie Whitaker.  We had about two hours to play around and shoot this beautiful couple before the ceremony started.  It was so much fun, and they were willing to try pretty much anything!

This was such a fun photo shoot of baby Saoirse.  What a great baby she is, and so photogenic already.  She didn’t care if we were inside or outside, she just went with the flow.  We decided to do photos at my place in Eagle Creek and thankfully the weather was nice.  I really enjoyed photographing her from all different angles.  Thanks Seonaid for a fun afternoon!

I want to introduce to you baby Rylee!  She was born early last month, and whomever follows my blog will notice that I photographed Rylee’s beautiful mother back in January.  Baby’s are so fun to photograph, because you can put them in pretty much any position (usually while they’re sleeping) and take as many photos in as many different angles as you’d like, and they never move.  So, set them up and shoot away!

I was really excited for this photo shoot.  Not only did I get to photograph a beautiful glowing mommy-to-be, but I got to hang out with my best two girlfriends….the third, being Laura my lighting assistant!  We did this photo shoot at Meinig Park in Sandy, OR.  It was pretty shaded, and the sun was shining.   Laura held a reflector so I could bounce light off of it from my external flash unit.  There were a few shots where we got the sun reflection.  I set my camera to aperture priority as low as it can go, so I could make her pop and stand out a little more from the background.

I got the privilege of photographing this beautiful couple, Matt & Laurie, who are tying the knot this coming August in Jamaica.  We did our photo shoot down in Oregon City, OR at Clackamette Park.  They brought along their really cool modified golf cart, and wanted to get some pictures with it.  I think everyone needs a golf cart on a photo shoot.  We pretty much toured the whole park without having to break a sweat on foot!  Thanks guys, looking forward to the reception in Sept.
