The happiest girl!

I swear that this was the most smiley little girl that I've photographed as of yet! Miss I could not be more happy and full of joy. This family saw me last year for photographs and came back again this year...I love return clients! It's amazing to see the beautiful ways that the child has changed and how they're growing up.
Little I's parents are just the sweetest, so kind and obviously in love with their sweet girl. Melissa is a business owner as well here in Portland, she is a pregnancy concierge, helping with all the complicated things that come along with pregnancy, including registries, design, childcare, and childproofing, all with a focus on eco-friendly products. You can check out her services here: http://www.itsa-belly.com/ She's fantastic and is such a great help for busy moms!

Enjoy your sneak peek, guys!

You can just feel the pure joy here! She loved playing with the bubbles that I brought!

Lacrosse-playing, drumming senior

T is a great guy, and we had a good time down in the Pearl District. He's a drummer in a band and plays lacrosse at his high school, so we wanted to feature that a bit.
A little texture and some great colors in this first one...I love this spot!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek, T!

Beautiful sisters at the mansion

A dear friend from Arizona came up here to get her gorgeous daughters photographed last week. Ok, maybe she didn't come up just to see me, :) she may have also been here to spend time with her in-laws, but I can delude myself just a bit, can't I?
We decided to stop at Pittock Mansion for our session, there's such variety there....gorgeous stone, perfect gardens and fantastic city views. There's no limit to the possibilities there.
So, without further ado.....here are sweet Z and B.......

We did a few shots with their gorgeous mom too:

Lollipops make the world a little better...every time!

C's sneak peek

I had such fun the other day at the home of this senior. They have this gorgeous huge park just in their back yard, it was fantastic! C was the sweetest, such a great guy, you can just tell.

Smiling was really second nature to him, but I managed to get a few serious ones from him too.



We fit in some family shots too.....C and his sister T just seem to have the greatest relationship, honestly liked being around each other and had a lot of fun together. I'm really crossing my fingers that my kids are like that when they're in high school. :)

Beautiful T......wow, I hope I get to do her senior portraits in a couple of years!
The other member of the family....Cassie.....and we need to put the focus on her for sure! :)
Just one quick shot of the whole family. Thanks so much, all of you! It was so fun.
