It's her last portrait session from the "baby's first year" package. It's bittersweet to see it come to an end but it's been a process getting around the pandemic to make it all happen and I couldn't be more grateful to have such a wonderful family to work with.  Happy 1st birthday baby girl!

I'm always grateful when I get to grow with a family. Damian Lillard and Kay'La Lillard's family is another journey that I adored since their first pregnancy. If you don't know who this is, Damian plays Point Guard for Portland Trailblazers.  I photographed their son Damian, Jr, 2.5 years ago when he was born. They recently welcomed boy & girl twins - and I couldn't have been more excited to capture these images for them!

I know, this Mom is perfect. Also carrying her 5th child... I know. With that said, it was a very risky pregnancy and because of that- she wanted to make sure to capture one of the most out-of-the-box photo session yet. I was delighted to carry out her vision because I've done editorials for so many years. I've missed it.

This very timeless yet tasteful approach to boudoir maternity was not only super fun but it had a very touching, heartfelt story behind it too. 
​
Happy tears were shared at their reveal and I will never forget this session. 

I love having siblings in the studio. These kids were super loving and caring for their brand new baby sister. Momma also wanted to recreate some of their older newborn session poses so I made sure there were some blasts from the past! 
It actually ended up being one of my favorite classic group shots that I ended up hanging up a large version on the walls. 

This gorgeous girl visited my portrait studio for her newborn photoshoot with me at a few weeks old. I got some good eye contact and snoozing poses. Her parents really let me have full creativity to build their gallery so I pulled some branches off my yard and added little tidbits of what her birth year was like. With a rat stuffie and all.  

I love being able to really help customize each portrait session so parents look back on these images and remember all the little features that change so quickly. Do you want to plan a newborn photoshoot in Portland, Oregon? Contact me today for all the details.

Oh how I love my job. I mean, I get to work with newborn babies... dress them, swaddle them, play with all the fun props I have available or plan fun themes with parents when planning their custom newborn portrait session. Like I said, I LOVE my job! 

​This little one's parents loved the more toned down colors and she slept like a dream, truly, throughout making my already amazing job that much more easy.  I love when past clients come back and see me when they've welcomed a new addition in their family.  I photographed her baby brother and this time - baby sister. Mom made a collage wall from both of their sessions in their nursery.

I met this family 2 years ago with their first born son- August. They had a fur sibling named "Noodle" which was a Shih-Tzu breed and so well behaved. Now fast forward some time- I hear news they are expecting a new member to the clan. A baby girl! I love when clients keep be connected in their journey. I feel like a part of me is given to the session whenever that happens. Like a self-proclaimed Aunt(haha). 
​
I made a cute Easter setup and some other new approaches too. Big brother was curious and the idea of a new baby hasn't yet "sunk" in yet. I live for these moments!
