Yep.. my second son is now days away from turning TWO and I’m just now writing his birth story.  No judging, please.  When we were originally told his estimated due date, (7/7/17) my husband was really holding out for a 4th of July baby. I just laughed, because our first son was born 2 weeks […]

Doing your own kid’s newborn portraits is quite far from “easy”.  What you don’t see is the bucket of sweat from me, and the thousands of breaks we took to soothe baby Noah, who was a literal angel until it was time to do these portraits and he was not a happy camper at the […]

The summer we first moved up to Oregon (and I turned 30) we rented this adorable “small home” in a gorgeous hidden gem neighborhood in Lincoln City for a couple nights. It was the perfect size. Then, we grew (added a busy baby who was on the move crawling + our once small toddler was […]

It’s so special to me that I’ve been photographing this sweet family since before little Mateo existed! We had quite the “active” photo shoot documenting Mateo at his 12 month Milestone Portrait Session. During our pre-session consultation we discussed doing some simple, timeless/modern portraits on white. His momma wanted to emphasize his sweet squishy bod […]

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing pregnant Melissa with baby Maddie in her belly and then baby Maddie as a newborn!  Not only is it an honor to document your milestones in life like celebrating your pregnancy and documenting those first few days/weeks home with your brand new baby, but when it’s for […]

Last night we had our first Little League practice of the season. Brady has been SO excited for the season to start. This was the first year we didn’t do a Fall sport, but it was so nice since he was starting Kindergarten to allow for that adjustment/transition instead of cramming out schedule FULL of […]

We were so grateful to have Granny P and Grandpa Clif (Brian’s dad) visit us from Dallas about 2 months after Noah was born (late Summer/August 2017). Yes, that long ago – hah. I’m playing catch up on life blogging.  We did a few Portland-y things while they were here, like visit the downtown waterfront […]

It was a very cold and wet day in the Portland area. We arrived and all I could think was “I really hope she didn’t wear nice boots.” hah! She looked STUNNING and somehow was able to get through the family portrait session NOT covered in mud. Incredible! We had a blast documenting their first […]
