…holding my breath is a good explanation! Aside from my usual shooting schedule, we have been very busy looking for and purchasing new property which will become the future home of Soul Prints Studios! We have found the perfect piece of land which has about 4.5 acres, forest area with many trees, creeks, an orchard and in general just gorgeous land which will eventually be an outdoor portrait park. In addition to that, there will be an on site studio so those who come out to the studio for portraits will have the luxury of studio style portraits AND outdoor portraits as well! I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am. Those who have been allowing me into your lives for awhile now know how long we have been waiting and looking for just the right place and finally we have found it! There have been many bumps along the way, and the process has been much more stressful than we ever could have imagined and we’ll keep holding our breath until we close and have the keys in our hot little hands.

We are scheduled to close on May 7th and after that, there will be a few months of renovations before we will be ready for our grand opening, Expect a lot of fun happenings for fall and Christmas portraits this year. One thing that I can share is that clients who have booked sessions throughout this year will receive first choice of time and dates, special discounts and goodies when it comes time for booking Christmas portraits at the new studio.

That’s all I can share for now. Stay tuned for more details!

In the meantime, here’s a cutie who so graciously let me stuff him into this amazing basket for photos with his parents’ gorgeous art in the background. What more could a photographer ask for?

I was thrilled when this wonderful West Linn family with twins joined my baby plan. They recently moved from Hawaii and hadn’t had the chance to get newborn photos but nevertheless I am looking forward to watching these two grow up. They definitely had a special bond and one of their favorite things to do was to look at each other and grin. So cute!!

I admit it…while I think all babies are cute, I just LOVE it when they have lots of hair. I had tons of hair when I was born and my son was born with lots of wild dark hair and it just gives them so much “personality”. This beautiful baby was so good and sleepy and her mama was so in love.

Oh my goodness! Where does the time go?? Thank you to all who have made this the best Holiday season so far for Soul Prints Photography. You all have kept me very busy and I am just now finding time to breathe! I will have many sessions to share over the coming weeks so stay tuned!

How cute is this little one? I absolutely love babies with lots of hair but this little curl was just one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen. Luckily for us, we get to watch her grow over the next year since they are part of our baby plan.

I first photographed this cute little guy when he was 3 months old. He’s been through some difficult medical incidents in his life, but he seems to be doing great now! He is now a very VERY busy toddler. He had just started walking a couple of days before our session and already he was busy as a bee buzzing from one spot to the next. Luckily, I was able to catch a few good shots along the way!
