Mom; Fallon told me at out consultation about how she envisioned her photo session. This helps both of us get on the same page and make sure I deliver the best of my abilities to your wishes. 
Her home in Washougal, Washington is very monochromatic and she wanted to make sure the wall art not only would match the home decor, but also not limiting to whether if and when they move. 
A very minimalistic and clean approach to a tasteful- chic, newborn photo session. 

She was giving me super Russian-doll vibes! Especially in being able to fulfill this bohemian inspired of a set-up. As you can see, she's a fan of keeping her eyes on me but I am not complaining at all, haha! Rarely do I ever get open-eyed but not crying babies so I will take it any day. 
​Mom received a gift certificate from her sister and I thought that was truly sweet. She wanted to make sure her niece had the best photographer in Portland. And, she was not wrong. 
This sure was the best gift any family or friends can gift for a loved one wouldn't you say?

Spring and summer went quick for us at SunnyMelon Photography. I love when parents request and the weather allows for me to do outdoor photography sessions in Portland, Oregon. Outdoor newborn sessions are by far my favorite sessions for newborns. Having brand new life surrounded by the beauty of nature is truly inspiring.  Although outdoor newborn portrait sessions have become more popular and wanting something "unique and different", the majority of parents still choose to do studio newborn sessions. If you love having something unique and want portraits that will be different from the newborn photos your friends and family took with their infant, this might be perfect for you!  Are you expecting a spring or summer baby? We will be offering these session types again in 2020.  If you are interested in learning more about photography services available, contact me for more information.

It's about once a year that I would get twin same gender babies in. And lately, it's been more and more. Something in the water I say. I'm always excited and overly eager to use my matching bonnets, headbands and all the props to commemorate this fleeting time. 
I don't know about you, but I quite thought I was a genius with the heart shaped wrapping. See for yourself below =P

I just adore Quinn's 4 months milestone session in her nursery. I also just love non-traditional colors for girls. The wood finishes plus the uses of metal hardware just really added to the approach of rustic modern.

Every corner had details that reflected Mom and Dad's "Americana" wedding theme. We've also incorporated some of the same sentimental pieces in her newborn session too!  This storyboard is beyond interactive, and they are every bit the most fun and easy going family I could ever have the privilege to create art for <3

Jenni and her husband, incredible people first of all. Found me in the local Happy Valley Moms group and reached out after seeing they were expecting a girl. After a few tries with IVF treatment, they were blessed with their first child. I personally love hearing these stories from my clients because I can curate that much better for my sessions going in.

When they arrived, she showed me this onesie that was given to her from the nurses that helped delivered. They took very good care of mom and baby and she wanted to dedicate an image to send a thank you card. I literally thrive on sentimental efforts! (Hold back that tear, do not do this right now Josie!). 

They are most deserving and super blessed, but excuse me while I ogle over those cheeks of hers!  If you are interested in having a professional newborn photo shoot of your little one, contact me for more information or to book a session!

The reason why I take the time to give a consultation at my portrait studio, is to visually carry out parents wishes and dreams. Now Dad tells me he is second generation to graduate from the University of Oregon and see to it about making a tradition. This is how legacy begins. This, is family history in the making. 
Jordan Kent is also the correspondent for the Portland Trailblazers so Oregon is definitely on the maps here- roaring PDX loud and proud. 

Not only do we have all those happening, there's also that Calvin has ice-blonde-hair and gorgeous as Mom. And Tiffany, by the way is a TV chef making delicious recipes.

​Ok, enough of me blabbering- let us enjoy...  if you are interested in having a newborn photography session, contact me today for more information!

Doll face is what she is! Parent's had just moved from another country with a chiropractic office so they had their plates full to say the least. However, even then they knew the importance of documenting this journey, a start of a new life with fleeing times.

I was impressed first time parents caught on so quickly because it was- one of my biggest regrets as a Mom- not having newborn or maternity photos taken thinking I had all the time in the world. I'm glad that these images of their princess will be cherished for years to come....

Parents were over the moon when they found out their second round of IVF treatment conceived their angel. No doubt she is kind of a big deal and so, so loved! 
Mama had an "Americana" theme for their wedding and wanted to implement the same colors into their newborn session along with one that would make firefighter Dad proud to his station.. Needless to say, we nailed it.

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.
