We're gaining a new team mate for the Oregon Trailblazers! Parents are adorably anxiously awaiting for the arrival of Damian Jr. and I think it's safe to say he's got it in the bag for the best gene pool. 
Mum also wanted a clean, white chic background look and boy I am actually looking forward to utilize my skills from shooting editorial and fashion in LA. Of course, we also added in my usual warm toned glam as well. 
Needless to say, we're ready to meet Damian Lillard Jr.!

Lovely little Emma, whose got the best behaved sister and brother. They were incredibly sweet and gentle with their newest baby sister. It was darling and Mum was so in love through every set which made my heart explode even more. 
It's always a pleasure when I know a family values and cherishes the memories that will last a lifetime. Material items deplete in value every year, while photos will become more valuable through time. It took me a while to understand that with my own daughter, and now I search frantically through the house for her baby photos because I now have a pre-teen in my hands. 
​Life, is as is. 

Reasons why I love what I do- witnessing miracles. Sometimes we get caught up on our busy schedules and not realize what a miracle it is we are alive, to be well, to be safe. This honey bunches was an IVF baby, Mum had a lot of complications during her pregnancy and she was also born premature with some complications. 
When she told me she wanted a photo of her at birth, hooked up to all kinds of machines. I literally cried, because she was a true survivor. You would not be able to tell what she has gone through because she is simply the HAPPIEST soul. I am humbled at the fact that I was blessed to be able to document her striving. Everyday is a blessing, and this was a reminder to us all. 

It was a wonderful day when I got a message from this couple whom I shot their engagement session for. They live out of town and I was truly flattered when they came back to me for another lifetime event. This maternity session at the Happy Valley Park was amazing as it was right around the colder months but Mom was able to brave it for "the shot". I mean, well worth it don't ya think?!

First of all, I am in LOVE with her name! Parents are the coolest, most chill couple ever and so loving. I honestly think my photos turn out better when parents give off a good vibe. But, I don't know how that's possible when it's so soon after giving birth. i was tired, didn't wan't to put pants on and the whole spew haha! So, kudos to all parents who manage to make it to the studio in time for these priceless photos!
