such big boys!

I know I say it all the time, but really, truly, honestly I love my job.

One of the best parts is watching families change and grow. The N family started out as a young family with a brand new baby boy. Over the last five years (five years wow!) they have added another darling boy both have grown by leaps and bounds. The boys have grown so much in-front of my lens over the last few years, it really has been my pleasure to capture the huge and little changes alike. This year we went for a bit of a nature hike. We talked about plants, bugs, birds, soccer, treats and even animal noises. It was a lovely evening with one of my favorite families.

Here are a handful of my favorites.

growing up so fast!

My oh my how time flies!

The S family always brings the cute, always. But this year they out did themselves! Even with a little sibling rivalry going down I had a great time catching up with all 5 of these guys. I can not believe we have been doing this for almost 3 years nowLast year we dealt with the cold, this year we lucked into a beautifully sunny afternoon.

two adorable boys!

When Christine first contacted me about photographing her family I asked her a little about them. She immediately described her boys as being cute and full of energy. She was so right with that description! Just a few short weeks ago I spent the evening with her curly haired sweet boys and instantly adored them. They were full of energy, telling me all about super heroes and sports. We climbed some rocks, we flexed our muscles and even tackled daddy!

It was a lovely evening with a lovely family.

Here are a few of my favorites…

High Five for Serena!

It was just four years ago I met with an adorable Newberg family to celebrate their baby turning one year old. We had a great session, so I was super excited when they called again this year wanting to capture the baby girl all grown up before her 5th birthday.

Serena has grown, and become even more beautiful! It was great catching up with the whole family, but miss S kept me laughing with her antics.

Check out a few of my favorites…

Crystal & Troy back in the Dundee Hills!

It was just over 3 years ago that I first got a call from the oh so lovely Crystal. She was hiring a photographer for her wedding, and wanted both wedding photography in the Dundee Hills, and engagement photography in the couple’s home in Chicago. Even if it was over the phone, I imminently fell into an easy friendship with both Crystal & Troy. They are sweet, kind, funny and wicked smart. I had a wonderful time getting to know them in Chicago when I flew out for the engagement photos, and then again when they came to my home turf of the Dundee hills a few months later for their wedding.

I was thrilled when they told me recently they would be coming back to Oregon to celebrate their anniversary and wanted to take some family photos including their DARLING baby boy. We headed back up to the always beautiful Elk Cove Vineyards and had a perfect summer morning together.

Here are just a handful of my favorites:
