The daddy in this set of images is my little brother in-law and his gorgeous Australian family. They make the trek here to Colorado every couple years, each time with a new mesmerizing kiddo in tow. Tristan is our precocious and extremely active three year old nephew. Boy was he a trick to get in focus this time around. Typical of this age but whoa! Kayden is only 10 months – a pensive chilled out little sweetheart. Jay says he is a mini Yoda. Bit of a momma’s boy, but who can blame him?? I was ecstatic to get the shots of them sitting on the porch looking right at me. Trick: I told Tristan he could sprint off the steps as soon as I counted to 100 as fast as I could. Kayden was also mildly interested in the trick but quickly became bored. But at least I managed to keep his attention for about 30 seconds. I missed them the minute they walked out the door. Saving our pennies for a trip to the Outback.

Here is a little holiday portrait session with the Moore Family. Perhaps you’ve seen a few shots of this family before. In case you are new to my blog and are not acquainted with my beloved sister and her family there are a few other posts you may like to peruse. Let’s see- there are Portraits of Ellyana in a Green Chair, the morning I spent with Elly when her mommy was in labor with little Enjolie, my sister’s Maternity Portraits, Newborn Portraits of Enjolie, my mini impromptu session with the girls… to name but a few. This set is such a kick. What I really love is it shows how crazy in love they are all with each other and what wonderful parents they are. Fills me up and over the brim.

This is such a perfect example a Mini Family Portrait Session with two little boys! Nearly impossible to get a 3 year old to sit still so it is a full set of dynamic and animated photos! The Antman family is so fun to work with! 

I have loved every minute of working with the Baumgartner family. They are genuine, kind and gracious. Little Celia is a photographer’s dream. (Or at least mine!) Natalie’s maternity portraits were beautiful, Della’s newborn portraits precious and this session was nothing but sweetness and delight all around with these two lovely ladies. That’s a whole lot of gushing on my part but I mean every word. I have the most wonderful clients in the world.

A quick & dirty holiday family portrait session for my neighbors, Grant and Katie and their trio. It doesn’t get much cuter than this little crew! Beautiful afternoon window light + Katie’s beautiful paintings in the background + red leather couch = perfect holiday portrait setup.  Next year we’ll do all our holiday sessions over there!! Bere needed a little moment to himself. Please note: best way to deal with grumpy four year old is to ignore them and take pictures of everyone else. Doesn’t take them long to realize they are getting left out and they jump back in. No harm no foul.

Rae and I have been comrades since college. I photographed her wedding in Costa Rica and we have kept us as best we could through the birth of her twins at 24 weeks and everything that goes along with that miracle. I’ve longed to visit her in Portland but it took some big news to finally get me on a plane: an unexpected newborn baby girl AND a last-minute job position which will move them to Tokyo just after the new year. I was flying out just a few days after that conversation. I had such a wonderful time with Rae and her sweet family. Alex was searching for houses in Tokyo when I arrived so I got lots of baby time with Evelyn and late night chats with Rae. The twins gave me a freezing whirlwind tour of the Portland Zoo and Timber the beagle was the queen of hospitality. I managed to snap a few photos in between it all and picked a few to share here on the blog- now that it is finally back online. Stupid hackers. Daddy shows the kiddos their housing options in Tokyo. Someone is happy their dad is home! Pleased to say that neither of us look too different than our college years!

This was a very impromptu holiday portrait session which seems to work best for this crew. No time spent fussing over outfits or hair. We just walked out of church and into the little park up the hill. We took about 10 minutes to shoot and got our individual portraits, the portraits of all three kiddos and the holiday family portrait to boot. Done and done.

This fall I found myself, once again, in Chicago with dear friends Mark and Darcy. We organized a little reunion with best friends from college and had lots of home-brewed beer to consume and laughing to do. But I obviously had to sneak in a little family photo shoot. The weather was divine. Warm and crisp; sidewalks littered with jewel-toned autumn leaves. But little Viv stole the show. . . OK, fine. We totally handed her the show. And she took it with no questions asked.
