Amy O. - Laurelhurst Park Portrait Photography

Amy happens to be another talented young photographer here in the Portland, Oregon area. We met at a photography event a couple years back and became instant friends. Like most photographers, we love taking photos of others, but rarely get photos of ourselves! So, several weeks ago, I took Amy out to capture some updated portraits of her. I love this girl so much! She is a complete sweetheart inside and out. I truly can't even imagine her hurting a fly! And talk about bringin' on the smolder... check out that very first image!  ❤ ...I die. ❤

 Thanks for letting me take photos of you Amy! You were so much fun to photograph!

Matt & Ashley Maternity - Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

This sweet (and super stylish!) couple is about to have their first baby and I couldn't be more happy for them!! The day of their session, I asked Matt and Ashely if they had brought any props to their session that they wanted me to photograph. To my delight, they pulled out a pair of the cutest little brown leather baby shoes I have ever seen! And not only were they adorable on their own, but by coincidence, Matt & Ashely's shoes even matched!! I couldn't resist incorporating the shoes into several of their images.

We photographed their session at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden amongst weeping willows, and Portland's beautifully lush backdrop. Just by looking at their images you can tell how deep their love for each other is, and what loving parents they will make. It's days like these I get so excited about my job!! I love capturing these priceless memories for my clients to cherish for years to come. And nothing brings me more joy than getting to share them with you!
