One thing I love about being a wedding photographer is watching two families combine into one. That happens in a variety of ways of course, but one of my favorite ways is when there are adorable kids in the mix. Molly & Ryan will celebrate their wedding this summer on a rooftop in downtown Portland, so instead of a traditional engagement session we did a combo family session with their whole team. Let me just say I adore these people. There was no shortage of laughter, silly jokes and crazy faces with this crew. We spent the evening exploring the hill by the Zoo and Forest Park. It was a fun night filled with smiles.

Here are a few of my favs:

M & R thanks again for meeting up with me and sharing your family. I had a great time getting to know you two and the kiddos. You guys are hilarious. I hope you enjoyed the peek. I will have the whole set done very soon.

It’s been over a year and a half since I started working with the N family. First when sweet little Katheryn arrived, then as she grew into a chubby baby and then adorable toddler. So when the family contacted me again to ask if I could fit them in while their extended family was in town I jumped at the chance. While we were hoping for a bit of snow, we lucked into a sunny pretty afternoon in the local park. We had a great time catching up, and talking to the world traveling end of the family. By the way what is cuter than two toe-headed little boys with sparkling smiles? Oh the same boys with Australian accents! The cousins were SO CUTE, and just as darling and well behaved as the Niemeyer kiddos. it was a grand afternoon full of fun, mud and tales of kangaroos.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Jen & Ryan and family thanks again for having me over to capture your family! You all were great to work with, and so much fun to point a camera at. I hope everyone’s travels went well and the whole trip was a success. I will have the whole set done very soon. 🙂
