(D) Family / One Year Session! {Gresham Oregon Baby Photographer}

I have become a big fan of doing sessions at client's homes with babies/small children in particular - I feel like it makes such a big difference (in a good way) staying in the baby's/child's comfort zone. All of my newborn sessions and many of my sessions through baby's first year are now done at clients' homes - I was actually a bit hestitant at first because I didn't want clients to feel like I was "invading" their home - but so far it just seems so much more comfortable for everyone, which I LOVE and makes for a much more pleasant experiece for the parents and babies.

I could not adore this sweet family/one year session any more.

(J) Family Session - Cathedral Park {Portland Oregon Family Photographer}

Great highlights of my summer include all of the beautiful families I had the opportunity to photograph. Now to share them all. :)

I have received many lovely comments regarding this gorgeous session.

Little Man Turns Three - Construction Birthday Party!

His birthday is actually in January - ha, story of my life with blogging...but I was just looking back through photos tonight and came across these :)  Once upon a time I thought my dream was to be an event planner...but I think I'll stick to planning his birthday parties and whatever other events come up that I can help with.  I do very much love doing this stuff though my grand plans always seem to be a bit too ambitious.

He has a bit of an obsession with trucks and tractors and such...and so this is what I came up with. Definitely a bit Pinterest-inspired with my own little twists :)
