I was able to photograph some really cute kiddos the other day.  Amy & her kids were in town visiting and she wanted a quick mini-shoot.  I can’t believe how much they have grown!  We met at a local wildlife reserve for a great time!  It was hot, windy and everyone’s allergies were in full effect but we still managed to get some adorable photos!

Here’s Amy’s little girl, Hayden, in a teacup.  Look at the rolls on this girl.  So cute!

Amy’s son, Austin.  All boy & just loved playing in the rocks and dirt!

Amy’s friend, Britanny came as well.  Here’s Britanny’s little guy sporting a cowboy hat.  Yeehaw!  :)

Just one last one of the best buds showing the love.  Aww!

I was the “official” photographer for my cousin, Neena’s wedding shower and boy did I have a blast!

The cake was cute and delicious at the same time.

The party favors were handmade and so adorable.  Little stitched picture frames!  And that’s the picture I took of the happy couple too.  :)

Thanks so much Neena & Clinton!  It was so much fun!  I can’t wait until your big wedding day!

I found this gem of a photo location the other day.  It’s the Tualatin Wildlife Refuge on 99W.  A gorgeous and peaceful place.  I had a session there with three little sisters.  I’ve known their mom since before Malia was born.

Here’s the oldest girl, Caitlyn.  All of them had gorgeous smiles!

We found a nice field of daisies and made the most of it!  Here’s the middle sister Kya.

And the baby, Kami.  They all looks so different yet they all have the beautiful features their mommy has.

My favorite shot of the day. Probably my most adored sibling shot.

We caught sunset at the perfect time. Thank you Andrea and girls for a lovely afternoon of memories!

A friend of a friend came up to visit Oregon this week and they indulged my need to expand my couples/engagement/wedding profile.

Here are a few pictures from the session:

They are SO tall and graceful. It was really hard to get eye to eye pictures of them but I tried my best. :)

Aren’t they sweet!!??!

Having an adorable conversation.

Thank you Jaime and Ben for allowing me to take gorgeous pictures of you guys! It was a blast!

I had a 6 month photo session with little Gwen and a 4 year photo session with Jeff. It’s so fun to see them grow up! Here’s Jeff giving me a nice smile.

I had the honor of attending a party to celebrate Jordan’s graduation. She’s a sweet teen I met a couple weeks ago during a photo shoot. I took candid pictures and more family-posed shots as the night went on. Thank you Janeen and family for allowing me into your home to capture some unforgettable moments!

Here’s a picture of the whole family! Wow!

And this final picture brought tears to my eyes, while taking it and while processing it. Her grandma, who she’s hugging, made her a quilt with all her athletic t-shirts to take with her to college in Wisconsin. Awwww!
my favorite moment of the night

I recently had the honor of photographing a sweet teen in search of her family forever. I know belong to a group of photographers that give their time and talent to The Heart Gallery of Oregon. Check out their site, it’s beautiful and touching.

Aaaaaand we’re live!
