My new logo!

I would like to give a big shout out to Laura at Diary Sketches (click HERE to visit her Etsy page) for my amazing new custom logo. It's ridiculously personalized, based on photos that I sent her. Those are a few of my actual cameras, one of my real outfits, etc. I used to only be this adorable in my imagination, but now I'm adorable every time I use this logo.

 

Portland Birth Photographer . . . Daddy's Girl.

I had the privilege of capturing a new life entering the world over the weekend. 

This is the first girl in the family, as her older siblings are both boys.

I captured this shot of her, holding onto her Dad's finger, just minutes 

after her birth. Needless to say, it melted my heart.

Loved this session and completely adore this family. 

End of story.  

Take Your Child To Work Day.

I'm a little late in posting this, but I had a great time on "Take Your Child to Work Day" this year. Of course, as you can see, I didn't take my OWN child. My kids went to work with their dad (according to them, his job is a lot more fun than mine, psshhht.). Miss Erika's dad has a cool job, but was working from home this particular day, so I invited her to join me. Erika is the same age as my middle son, I've been her team manager for DI for a few years, and I'm good friends with her mom. 

I found it beyond adorable to see she'd given herself a 

tattoo that matched mine!

Some of her photos from our time taking photos at a local park. 

She edited these herself too!

Portland Portrait Photographer | Wig-tastic.

I snapped this photo of Nikki, my make up artist, before our last boudoir party. It proved to be a fun social experiment, not mentioning anything to the clients about it being a wig. Nobody mentioned her hair at all. Ha!

Portland Child Photographer | Two.

You may recognize this girl from my post a couple of days ago. She's the big sister to newborn twin boys. She's such a doll, though, that I felt she needed her own blog post. She's only 2, but seems much older. Not only is she tall, but she's very verbal and smart. 

A few film shots...

Lovin' on her mama.
