Happy New Year!

It's been a really great year, and I have so much to be thankful for. As 2014 comes to a close I can't help but look back and think about all the amazing people I've met and had the privilege to photograph through out this past year. So to welcome in 2015, I'd like to take a look back on some of my very favorite photos from 2014. It's been a year of lots of growth, both in my business and my skills as a photographer, and I look forward to even more growth in 2015.

Thank you all for a fantastic year. I can't wait to see what 2015 brings!
Happy New Year!

Henry - Portland Newborn Photography Sneak Peek

Baby Ripley - Portland Oregon Newborn Photography

Let's face it. Cute little hats are just the best. Newborns are adorable just on their own...but add a chunky knit hat or a cute little bonnet and the cuteness levels start to go off the charts. I like to keep my little home studio in northeast Portland stocked with such items at all times. Little knit bonnets, tie-back headbands for girls, mini bowties for boys, a little golden crown or two...but when a mom brings in vintage map-themed props from her nursery and adorably authentic  grandma-knit hats to her photography session, I can't help but get excited! Not to mention, mom and dad are like the epitome of a cute Portland couple! How beautiful is this family?!!! I hope you enjoy these images from their recent newborn session. Little Ripley and his family were so much fun to photograph. :)

Baby Iris - Portland Newborn Session

This little sweetheart was such a gem to photograph. She was zonked out the entire session, peacefully sleeping away as I posed her. She even brought her whole family along for the session! It was a bit packed trying to fit all her family members into my tiny little NE Portland newborn studio (after all, my client's average height is usually only 20 inches long!), but it was so worth it to end up with one beautiful family photo of her whole family together. Her big sister, Nora, was a big help too. She was so sweet and gentle with her new baby sister, kissing her delicately on the forehead when asked, and helping to hold my backdrop when it needed some straightening. What lovely little girls this family has! I am so happy for them and the new little bundle of joy that's now in their lives. Congratulations, Marc, Pamela, & Nora! She is just darling!
