Adalynn | Portland Newborn Photographer

Meet Adalynn Jane.  Isn't she precious?  Words can't describe how much I love newborn photography.  There is something so sweet and innocent about brand new babies.  Adalynn was no exception.

She was such an awesome sleeper.  She slept almost the entire time.  As a newborn photographer, I try to get the babies into a deep sleep so I can pose them.  However, this girl gave me so many beautiful bright-eyed looks that I couldn't resist.

Adalynn's mom and dad were very welcoming and so kind.  I enjoyed chatting with them while I photographed their brand new baby girl.  Did I mention they are OSU Beaver fans?  It doesn't get any better than that!

Maeve and Sadie | Portland Children and Family Photographer

Remember sweet Sadie?  She is growing up so fast.  I really enjoyed photographing her and her big sister Maeve shortly after she was born and I was lucky enough to photograph them again.

They suggested this gorgeous park up in Portland.  It is a little late in the season, but there were still plenty of roses in bloom.  It is the perfect location for a family photo session!!

I had a hard time narrowing down photos to put on the blog because I love so many of them.  They are such a wonderful family.   Maeve was a trooper!  Toddlers can be tricky, but I had so much fun with her.  She got to throw pennies in the fountain and run around the garden.  Her little sister was perfect. She didn't fuss at all!

Thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful family, Erin and Richard!

Zachary | Portland Newborn Photographer

I am lucky enough to be this sweet boy's aunt.  Zachary Lloyd had a little bit of a rough start.  At three weeks old, he was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis.  After a quick operation, he is as good as new. 

Zachary's newborn portrait session was technically an infant portrait session.  He was about eight weeks old when I took these photos.  Unfortunately, we live in Portland and he lives in California so it took a little bit of scheduling.

I was so excited to see both my nephews so we could get some sibling photos.  Big brother Sean is four, and his baby brother couldn't love him more!

I love these sweet boys!!

Beatrice | Portland Newborn Photographer

I am really loving photographing newborns.  It is such a precious and fleeting time.  Every time I snuggle one of these brand new babies, I remember the funny little faces they make, how deeply they sleep, how cuddly they are. 

I got my son's newborn photos done at a chain store and I am not pleased with how they turned out.  We were rushed, my son was hungry, and honestly, they weren't that inexpensive.  To this day, I wish I had invested in newborn portrait photography for him.  Newborn photography is all about patience and capturing such a pure time in a baby's life.

This is baby Beatrice.  She was such a cuddle bug.  I really enjoyed this session.  The new parents were so welcoming and little Beatrice was a love.  She slept really well for me and gave me a lot of great poses.

Welcome to the world, sweet girl!

Bennett and Weston | Portland Children and Family Photographer

I ran a contest on Facebook to win a free family portrait session.  Amanda was the big winner!  I was really excited to photograph her family.  She has two sweet boys, Bennett and Weston.

We did this session on a really hot night.  Despite the heat, the boys were amazing.  They made my job easy!  Bennett has such an adorable personality and he is so sweet to his precious brother, Weston.  I really enjoyed photographing these kids!  Aren't they so handsome?

So here they are -- Dusty, Amanda, Bennett and Weston!

Orion, Cassandra and Vivian | Portland Children and Family Photographer

I adore this family.  Orion is the oldest and he is such a great big brother to his twin sisters, Cassandra and Vivian.  Their mom and I go back a few years so I was really excited to take their photos.

We were lucky to have beautiful weather for the occasion.

Lincoln and Edward | Portland Children and Family Photographer

I have known Leilani for a couple years and I was so happy to have the opportunity to photograph her beautiful family.  They make my job look easy!

It was such a fun shoot that included extended family members.   The boys' grandpa was visiting all the way from Saipan!

Owein | Portland Newborn Photographer

Meet baby Owein! This little boy is the newest member of my family. He belongs to my cousin Diana and her husband David.  I traveled quite a distance to photograph this gorgeous baby.  It was certainly worth it!


He was a dream to photograph. He slept like a little angel and hardly fussed. This is one of my favorite sessions to date.

Cody and Tyler | Portland Children and Family Photographer

Meet Micah, Erica, Cody, and Tyler. Their awesome dog "Tough" also tagged along for the afternoon. We were very lucky to have a gorgeous afternoon. They are such an adorable family and I hope to photograph them again soon!
