Another fun member of the class of 2009 {Kathleen Sneak Peek}

November 21, 2008 – 12:09 pm

Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending a Sunday afternoon with Kathleen. We had been talking about getting out and taking some fun senior photos for some time so I was excited to get out there and shoot!

We had a great time and I am excited to get the whole set done. Here are a few of my favs so far:

street-set

Kathleen has deep roots in Newberg so we did some shooting down town.

kathleenpeek-15

After we shot downtown Newberg we headed out into the country and found some great new locations! Kathleen looks so at home and comfortable in the natural settings. A true Oregon girl.

Kathleen is also traveling to Europe in 2009 on a trip with her sister. I am so excited for her! We had to break out her passport and commemorate that important part of her senior year. I really hope I did not break any federal laws by taking this. ;)

Kathleen I had a great time, thanks for going on the search for the perfect location! I had a great time hanging out. I will have the whole set for you very soon! And remember I just posted some fun graduation announcements. Take a look here.

A wee little graduate! {baby and family sneak peek}

November 20, 2008 – 11:37 am

Just under a year ago I met sweet little baby S as part of my “Baby’s First Year” collection. I have had the pleasure of getting to see him grow over the past year and today I bring you a few of his 1 year photos. It was a bit more of a family session since the little guy was having a clingy day, but we had a great time anyway. Here are a few of my favs so far:

skpeek1year-10

I was loving the contrast of the bright colors and the country fog.

skpeek1year-11

Such a cute little guy!

skpeek1year-12

I am always a sucker for the “Mother and Child” images. I love this one, even if it is not exactly smiley. I love the way his mama is gently calming him down.  Nothing compares to a mother’s touch.

skpeek1year-13

Big sister, just as cute as always. :)

skpeek1year-14

And of course “Father and Daughter” images get me too. These two are so sweet together, matching freckles and all.

skpeek1year-15

Handsome big brother got in on the action too.

skpeek1year-16

And just for Mama we found some fall leaves! It was a little hard since most fall leaves in our area are down, but we found some!

A thanks again for braving the cold late fall morning weather. I will have the full set for you very soon. And I know you love the blog comment challenges. So here is one just for you. If you can get 30 comments on this post I will give you $25 off a set of holiday cards.

Newberg Family & Wedding Photography {Laura & Michael Sneak Peek}

November 18, 2008 – 12:34 pm

Not too long ago I was contacted by a local couple about shooting their Christmas time wedding. I don’t usually book anything around the holidays but I agreed to meet with them since they were literally right down the road. I am so glad I did. Laura & Micheal are so sweet, and their whole family is adorable. It also helped that when I walked into their home it was covered with beautiful family photos. When people are big photography fans to begin with, you know it is going to be fun working with them!

This last weekend we meet up for a joint engagement & family session. I had a blast meeting all the kids and seeing them together. Even the grumpiest teen was smiling by the end of the morning. :)

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

killenpeek-11

The whole family, I can not wait for the wedding it is going to be fun.

killenpeek-13

( I am pretty sure I can hear the kids saying “Ewww Gross” right about now, but how cute are they!)

killenpeek-12

killenpeek-10

Speaking of sweet, how sweet are these two. These soon to be step brothers made me smile.

hats-set

Ok there is a funny story behind this one. Laura brought this cute hat for the baby of the family to wear. Typical little guy style he was not into the hat at all. But one of the older kids jokingly put it on, and we ended up getting every single family member in it except the one it was intended for. ;) I know I am easily amused but this cracks me up.

killenpeek-25

And here is the little guy. This special little boy really stole my heart.

killenpeek-20

Our soon to be bride & groom again.

Laura & Michael, I am really looking forward to your big day. Your whole family was an absolute joy to hang out with. Thanks for bearing the cold morning with me. I will have more from our morning session for you very soon!

Cute and Chubby, just how I like them {Portland Oregon Baby Photographer}

November 14, 2008 – 10:31 am

Lets take a walk down memory lane. Do any of you remember this beautiful belly?  And then this little tiny brand new still in the hospital peanut? And then this amazing newborn?

Yeah me too, some of my all time favorite images there. And now this amazing family is back for more, and just as beautiful as ever.  Just see for your self how little Mr. Big has, well, gotten BIG.

Can you believe that is even the same baby?!

madden6mopeek-29

Such an awesome chunky lump.

madden6mopeek-28

:)

madden6mopeek-27

Such a sweet baby, and so good for me. I guess this is what I get when I train them early!

madden6mopeek-30

Kisses for “big brother”

And for something completely different, we did some photos of the whole family down the road at the most amazing setting. I have had my eye on this side road for a while now, so when Mr. Chubby’s mama suggested it I jumped at the chance.

madden6mopeek-22

Stunning location, beautiful family, does it get any better? It also helps these are 3 of my most favorite people too.

madden6mopeek-20

:)

madden6mopeek-21

Just adore them.

So there you have it, a bit of a long peek but I could not help my self. Amber and Greg thanks for being so flexible this weekend and daring the Oregon weather with me. I adore you two, and cherish your friendship beyond words. Thanks for helping me make some special images, I hope you love them as much as I do.

Sweet baby L is back and cuter than ever {Salem Baby Photographer}

November 13, 2008 – 12:47 am

I got to spend some time with one of my all time favorite families this weekend. You might remember sweet baby L  and her beautiful parents from this post a few months ago.  Well the little Diva is back on my blog and even more beautiful! We battled the crazy Oregon weather and had another session this weekend. We started out at the Salem Carousel for a little something different and man was it a fun setting! I got to capture little L’s first pony ride. She was a perfect and full of smiles the whole morning.

Here are a few of my favs so far:

layla6mo-20

We thought this particular horse was appropriate since Mom & Dad met serving our country in Iraq.

faces-set

Such an animated little diva, she was talking to me all morning!

layla6mo-10

Such a beautiful family. Makes my job almost too easy.

layla6mo-11

Umm can I say how cute she is again?

layla6mo-12

love all the smiles

layla6mo-17

I also adore her little hawk here, adds so much to her personality.

layla6mo-18

I just wanted to eat her up.

So there you have it! A bit of a long peek, I just could not hold back. Michelle I hope you are liking them so far, thanks for daring the Oregon weather with me. I had a great time seeing you and your little one again. I can not wait to see how she grows over the next year. I will have the whole set for you very soon!

perfection at 9 days old {Portland Oregon Newborn Photography}

November 11, 2008 – 4:10 pm

I love all of my clients, but I have to admit the tiniest ones always steal my heart. This little guy was no exception.  It had been a few months since my last newborn and I was itching to get my hands on a teeny tiny one.

Meet little Mr. A, isn’t he just delicious!

newbie-10-copy-for-web

He was just so good for me.

newbie-12

Even a smile!

newbie-14

He was pretty happy to be in daddy’s strong hands can you tell. His eyes were just sparkling.

newbie-18

He slept so well for me, even though I kept moving him around. Really this is why we do newborns in the first two weeks, while they are still all curly and sleepy.

newbie-20

And just one of the whole family. They seem to be settling into being a new Mommy and Daddy pretty well :)

A & O it was a pleasure to meet you and your perfect little boy. I can not wait to show you the entire set. I had a wonderful time, thanks for letting me rearrange your furniture to get these, you have such a beautiful home. And with that I would love to offer you a comment challenge. If you can get 30 comments on this post I would be happy to give you $25 off a set of holiday cards or birth announcements. I can not wait to see these in print!

I will have the whole set for you soon, enjoy that beautiful little man.

Beautiful Belly {Portland Oregon Maternity Photography}

November 7, 2008 – 12:54 am

Oh how I have been missing the bellies lately. It has been a while since I had the pleasure of doing a maternity session and I have to admit when Amber called me to schedule hers I was excited to point my lens at her belly. Amber is a sweet heart to say the least, and she was a joy to have in front of my camera.

Here are a few of my favorites so far, and really truly it was hard to pick.

ammat-1-for-blog

Little baby A is going to be a very lucky boy. He is so loved already.

ammat-8-for-web

Amber I had a great time with you and I can not wait to meet little baby A. He is one lucky kiddo!
