Baby Time!

Last weekend, I got the pleasure of taking some maternity photos for one of my dearest college roommates.  Fall is still hanging on in all its richness here in Portland, and I think we did a great job of taking advantage of it!  I can't wait to see Zoe as a mom, with all her playfulness, and David is the most calm, confident dad-to-be ever.  I could not be more excited for my sweet friends, and so happy they let me document this season and be a part of it!

Thanks again, David and Zoe!

Senior Photo Foray

Over the summer, I was contacted and asked if I would be willing to take senior photos for my boyfriend's cousin.  I eagerly jumped at the opportunity to take a shot (no pun intended, really) at them, and figured if nothing else, we'd have fun hanging out!  We took them on their beautiful property in mid-September, amidst cows, llamas, and dogs, and while I was nervous to awkwardly take a bunch of photos of just one person by himself, Josh was quite the male model!  He smiled naturally, and was eternally patient with me (and his mother). :) It was super fun to spend the afternoon/evening with them, and I hope to get more senior photo opportunities!  

Sweet Additions

I am brimming with pride to introduce you to the family that is nearest and dearest to my heart. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing my brother's growing family right in their own backyard while I was in town for the baby shower! I truly hope to have a family this wonderful some day. I couldn't ask for better parenting examples, and their kids are simply amazing. Megan is girl genius who is kind enough to give me guitar lessons, and Zach's hugs melt my heart...I can't wait to watch him grow up! Sweet Eli is hidden here, but I got to meet him last weekend, and can't wait to spend more time with him! I hope you enjoy this precious family as much as I do. :)

New Life

Now, we all know how it's good to have good-looking friends. This benefit happened to be when a couple of my good-looking friends allowed me to take some photos of them before their little joy bundle arrived. In all seriousness though, they're very dear friends whom I have a ton of admiration and respect for, and have since welcomed a beautiful baby girl to this world! It's been a pleasure to walk through this season of growth and anticipation with them, and capturing it in photos was truly my pleasure. These were taken up in the woods toward Mt. Hood, which made for some really fun scenery! I hope you enjoy!
