Lucy, Grace & Etta {Laurelhurst Park, Portland, OR}

Lucy, Etta and Grace are three of my children's most favorite playmates, and three of the loveliest little ladies I know. Their awesome Mama wanted a few head shots of the girls, so we met up at Laurelhurst park and made it happen.

Miles {Portland, OR}

Even though I'm on maternity leave, the weather was warm today, and my 4 year-old was itching to get out of the house. Miles, Baby Landree and I headed to our favorite local outdoor spot, and I brought my camera along. Miles threw rocks in the water, dug in the dirt, and even did a little mugging for me. I love this boy so much, I'm so glad he's mine!

Maevyn {Portland, OR}

I'm currently on Maternity leave, but I had the opportunity to photograph this little beauty, Maevyn. She shared a due date with my new daughter, Landree, and is my daughter's first little baby friend. From the baby mohawk, to her gorgeous blue green eyes, I think you'll agree, she's extra adorable, even by baby standards!

Tahmures - 6 months

Meet Tahmures, a cute 6 month old at the time of our shoot in September. Tahmures had some newly acquired bottom teeth that his mommy wanted captured, and he showed them off for the camera nicely. He also did lots of age appropriate finger chewing, drooling, and tummy time.

His mommy, Rachel, is a talented Photographer, specializing in creative head shots for adults and boudoir portraits. Her inspiring work can be found at http://www.rachelhadiashar.com. You should definitely check her out!

Baby Jesse {Seattle, WA}

August was a really amazing month for my photography business, not to mention my busiest month ever. I photographed a wonderful wedding, took newborn portraits of a precious baby who's parents' wedding I captured the year before (talk about special!), was able to help announce another baby on the way through photography, and as if all of that wasn't enough, I photographed my best friend in her first days with her newly adopted son. SO beautiful, both my best friend, and her new baby boy, Jesse. Its taken too long to get these up, but they were, maybe, my favorite images captured all year. Love you, Amy, thank you for letting me capture such a special time!

BJ - Class of 2013

Meet BJ. There's nothing quite like taking senior photos for a young man you've watched grow up. BJ is a part of my husband's extended family, and I've known him since he was 5, if my math is correct. Now, he's a polite, handsome, Tai Kwon Do kicking senior in High School, with amazing things ahead.

BJ, enjoy this last year of High School! It only gets better from here!

Abby & Aidan {Fanno Creek, Tigard OR}

My shoot with Abby and Aidan and their lovely parents turned out to be my last of the season before my maternity leave. And, getting to capture them on a relatively dry, autumn day in a beautiful location was an excellent way to head into babyland! These two children have such wonderful natural interactions, playful but loving. And their parents are equally photogenic and fun to capture!

Thanks, J. Family, it was wonderful to see you guys again; I hope you love your photos!
