Sure! ( oregon child photographer )

October 28, 2009

When I hear that answer from a toddler, I could tell it’s going to be a fantastic session.  This is little Keara.  She’s turning 3 very very soon and loves to giggle.  She has the cutest toothy smile and my goodness could a little redhead in pigtails be any cuter?  I think not.

Most of our time together was spent looking for birdies in the sky and making silly faces.

I just adore the colors in this jacket of hers.  It really brings out her bright blue eyes and red hair.

Isn’t her toothy grin just so cute!

She was having so much fun inspecting all the wonders of fall.  So I just let her.

Thank you Keara for spending a few minutes with me.  I enjoyed our walk around your neighborhood.  Can you do me a favor and teach my girls that they should always say “Sure!” to me?  :)

Pooltime fun with their daddy.

October 18, 2009

If you don’t already know, Jerry’s in the Air Force Reserves.  So once a month during a weekend, we drive up to Tacoma, Washington.  Sometimes we get lucky and stay at a hotel.  Sometimes that hotel has an awesome pool & spa.  Here are some pictures of my loves having fun.  :)   I just adore them!

Malia J.  I need to remember to enroll her in swim classes again.  On this day she learned how to float on her back.

Sweet Jenna Bean.  She loves to swim and I’ll have enroll her in swim classes too.  But first, she needs to get rid of those pesky diapers!

They love using the spa more than the pool for some reason.  Haha.

Purple polka dot umbrella

October 16, 2009

Tiffany received a gift certificate from her sweet cousin, Amy last Christmas and decided to use it on a nice fall day.  We took photos of her and her darling little girl, Claire.  Days before the session we were so worried about the weather.  The rain would not stop pouring.  I told Tiffany to just be prepared because the session can still go on.  Just bring Claire some little rainboots and a cute umbrella and we should be good to go!  Fast forward to the day of the session and the skies parted and gave us some sun.  Sun!  We were overjoyed and the session went off without a hitch.  Except for 3 white balloons flying into the sky way before we wanted them to.  But that’s okay.  I got more than enough cute photos of sweet little Claire!

Our favorite topic? Pizza!

We did end up breaking out the umbrella.  But not on the count of rain, just because Claire wanted to show off her twirling skills!

Capturing moments like this is EXACTLY why I just love my job!

Remembering Mahm. ( oregon child photographer )

October 4, 2009

It’s been three years since we’ve lost my mother.  I wish I could say it’s gotten easier.  It hasn’t.  I remember her daily.  Malia does too.  I look at my little girls and remember my mom’s face and her skin and her touch.  And most especially her smile.  This year on the anniversary of my mom’s death, as I stared at my girls, I saw a special glimmer in their eye.  I know that she’s still here with us.

I miss you mommy.  But I know you’re still here.  In my daughters.  You’re still here.
