Newborn Baby and her adorable big brother ~ Portland Photography

One of the perks of my job is not just watching beautiful children grow from before they are born to newborn and beyond, but watching entire families grow. I met this family just over two years ago and we spent some time at a local park capturing adorable photos of this little guy when he just started sitting up. I guess it’s time for a before and after since he looks all grown up now! It’s absolutely amazing what a difference two years can make. Not only that, but he’s now a big brother to the sweetest little angel baby. She was so good for me and slept and let me pose her without a single complaint.

The first shot is from two years ago, the next shows how much he has changed, and finally his newborn baby sister.

Newborn Photos ~ Vancouver Washington

After such a beautiful maternity session, I surely had to pop back in to share the sweet newborn photos as well. This little baby was only about 4 days old when these were taken and he was nice and sleepy.

Summer Baby ~ Portland Photographer

I adore each of my little clients, but sometimes you meet a little one that just makes you want to hug and snuggle them and squeeze their cheeks and scrunch them all up and take them home! This little guy was one of those babies. Not only is he so adorably handsome, and did his smile light up from the inside but he had the biggest beautiful eyes! His parents so obviously adored him. This was definitely one of my favorite sessions this summer.

Pregnancy and Maternity Photography ~ Vancouver Washington

Not too long ago, I drove up to Vancouver Washington and met with the most beautiful mama to be for her maternity photo session. While I think that all pregnant mothers are gorgeous and love seeing them bathed in a rosey pregnant glow, this mom is also a model and knew just how to pose.

When I schedule a maternity session, I enjoy talking to my clients about their vision for their session. Everyone has different ideas of how they would like their session to go. Some are a little more modest and some enjoy celebrating their pregnant form with a bit of tasteful nudity. This couple was interested in some more intimate shots which I won’t show here since I know some of you may view this blog in a work environment, but here is a little sneak peak into their session.

Hillsboro Newborn and Infant Portraits

Ooooh this little baby was so sweet and such a beautiful little girl. I thought she looked a lot like her mommy. Most babies at this age have a difficult time focusing their eyes, let alone making eye contact with me. This sweetheart did with no problem and it made for some gorgeous baby portraits.

Wasn’t her little hat precious?
