Magical Mila

I love it when a plan comes together!

Just a few years ago it was my privilege to document Jessica & Ryan’s beautiful rooftop wedding.

Just a few short months ago it was again my privilege to photograph J&R to celebrate a certain beautiful baby bump.

Now, I am back, and even more excited than ever to show images from sweet baby Mila’s newborn session. She was such a darling for me. I love this little ladies cute face, expressive mouth, and wild tuft of hair. Working with newborns is always fun for me, but this little lady kind of stole my heart.

Here are my favs from our session

Thank you J&R for again trusting me to capture such an important moment in the timeline of your family. I loved working with you all again, and am really looking forward to watching Mila grow via my camera. 🙂 I wish you all so much happiness as a family of three, and hope more sleep filled nights are in your future.

I will have the whole gallery done very soon. For now lets break out the blog challenge shall we? If you can get 30 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a set of brag books on the house. SO leave some love for this darling baby and her peeps shall we!

Sweet Micah made me work for it!

Working with newborn babies is the ultimate challenge. One of the reasons I love it, is for the challenge really. Newborn babies do not care if I have a schedule, they want what they want, when the want it. There is no bribing them, no talking them into things, if they want to eat, they will let you know. And sweet, darling, Micah let me know. During our first session this super cute boy wanted none of our cozy blankets and soft wraps, he wanted to eat. The entire 3 hours I was there. I can usually wait out a newborn, but sweet Micah wanted to be different lol. After many hours of feeding, and a few clicks of the camera we rescheduled. His wonderful Mamas spent the weekend ironing out his eating needs and by the next week he was a whole new baby. Sleepy, happy, and ready for his time with my camera. While I never want a baby to be unhappy, I was glad to have the extra day with him. He was so good for me, and a darling to capture. 🙂 I loved working with his whole family.

Here are a handful of my favorites…

One Year and a million smiles later…

Just look at this face, how can you not fall in love with this face! It has been a year now that I have worked with the oh so lovely Huff family. Well longer than that really if we count their engagement and wedding photos. Just over  a year ago I got to capture a darling little newborn, then a bouncing baby girl. Now sweet Sienna is a year old!

It has been a wonderful year spent with a family I really do adore.

Check out a few favorites from our session together.

V & S thanks again for trusting me to capture your babies first year. I have loved watching her grow. I look forward to seeing her get even bigger and more giggly!  I hope you enjoyed the peek! I will have the rest done very soon.

sweet little sister

Man how time flies! It was just a few short years back that I captured this wonderful family of three, now they are a family of four and what a cute family they have grown into! Claire has grown into an adorable little girl, and quite the big sister, and sweet Diane was just a doll for me. We even lucked into a clear day and some beautiful fall leaves!

It was a lovely morning with these two girls. So much personality! 🙂

Here are a handful of my favorites…

Katie thanks again for having me out to capture your family. Your girls are so darling, even if we did have to talk a certain someone into another outfit. Oh the joys of parenting two  spirited little ladies! They are so cute! I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I will have the rest up very soon. If you want I would love to offer you a blog post challenge again. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post I will throw in a set of brag books on the house. 🙂

me at work…

A  few months back I had the wonderful opportunity  to work with a wonderful group of mid-wifes here in the Willamette Valley at Bella Vie Gentle Birth Center.

They wanted to put together a shoot showcasing their staff and services, but not the normal stuffy head-shots. No they were heavily inspired by the show “call the midwife”.  It was so fun to capture such a great group of ladies, and in such a creative way. I posted a few images a while back on my blog here. I would love to share now a video they had produced of the shoot. You may recognize my arm and back of my head a few times, other than that it is a great video of a fun shoot!
