Portland Portrait Photographer . . . Little Miss Personality

Little Z is only 2 years old, but boy does she have some personality! 

I had the pleasure of photographing this little beauty 

during a recent trip to Atlanta, Georgia.

Salem Family Photographer . . . One Urban Morning.

We met up on a Sunday morning. 

They sipped coffee and hot chocolate while doing some window shopping downtown.

Portland Newborn Photographer | Lifestyle + twins

You may remember these twins, as I also photographed them in the hospital in April. They were both in the NICU for a bit, but are healthy and happy at home now. It was such a pleasure to visit and photograph this family in their home.

Big sister, checking in on one of her baby brothers.

I love wrinkled, scaly little newborn feet.

I never once asked her to kiss her brothers. She just kept doing it. It was as if she just couldn't get enough of them. I feel ya, girl!

Such a good helper!

Check out this look he gave me!

"Dude, wake up."

Stretchhhhh.

"You are still asleep?"

Portland Family Photographer | What To Wear: Pink!

If you're looking for mother/daughter(s) inspiration, how about pink?! Add in some blue and white and you're all set. Simple, pretty, and easy.

What to Wear | Blue and Yellow.

While there may be snow in the ground in many parts of the country, that is not the case here in the Willamette Valley! The sun keeps making an appearance and the flowers are blooming, which means it is time to book your spring portraits and start thinking about outfits. Here is some inspiration for you, featuring a blue and yellow palette. All of these pieces are available at gap.com and are perfect for family photos!

Salem Family Photographer | Sweet family.

 I am so sad that this family recently moved away. This was our last session, which was a holiday mini back in the fall. Gah, I adore this baby!

Salem Family Photographer | Family Time in B&W

Once upon a time there was an adorable family.

They lived together, worked together, and played together.

The smiled and laughed. A lot.

They snuggled and kissed and loved each other with all their hearts. 

I met up with this awesome family at their amazing office in downtown Salem.

Dad was finishing up some work when I got there.

While Mom & Son waited, they read some stories...

And ate some snacks...

And told knock knock jokes...

And gave smooches...

And, of course, made silly faces...

Finally, it was time for some family togetherness. 

Everyone stares at Mom in amazement because she is just that awesome.

One on one time with Dad...

Salem Family Photographer | One Awesome Family.

Yes, this family really is this gorgeous.

You know what else? They are also awesome!

They're funny, fun, and full of love. 

The kids were probably the most cooperative I've ever worked with and I 

really felt like I could have taken photos of them all day. 

Seriously, how cute is this child? 

I wanted to steal her! 

She's also a total ham, which just made her that much more adorable.

 

Can I just say that I loved how the mom styled her family for this session? I'm a big fan of yellow, blue, and gray and she did such a great job coordinating them, without being too matchy-matchy. 

They were oozing with personality.

I started cracking up, when I turned around to see that the younger two had climbed inside of the chest we'd just used. They were so cute!

We can't forget about the salamander that they found! It was with us for most of the session, either in someone's hand, or near us on the ground. They'd carry it around and then set it down while we took photos.
