Anthony & Avery - Newberg Child Portraits

How on earth can there be anything cuter than these two? I was so in love when they came to the studio. I just wanted to scoop them into my arms and pinch those adorable cheeks.

Alex - Newberg Senior Portraits

We photographed Alex's sister, Sydney, 3 years ago (she was our first session after Nomi was born... but that is a different story...) and when Alex called about getting her senior portraits done, I was so excited to see her again. She even braved the trek from Washington for the session, and man did we have way too much fun.

Being that American Sign Language was my first major in collage (before I defected to photography), it has always had a special place in heart. When Alex told me that she has learned a bit of ASL, I immediatly thought of the pose below.... probably one of my favs from the day.

Ana - Newberg Baby Portraits

Because Ana was 8 weeks early and spend a bit of time in the NICU, we decieded to do her 1st portrait session at her house and I am so glad we did!! They have the cutest house with amazing natural light, even while it was raining. I was a bit worried that Ana, at around 5 weeks, might not cooperate as much as a newborn but I was so wrong and was happy to be wrong. She was so easy and so sweet and I couldn't believe how sleepy she was; I could have photographed her all day.

Aubreyanne - Newberg Senior Portraits

What a great outdoor session in Oregon in the middle of fall day when we can get a couple of hours in without any rain, and that was the case with this session. Mud, yes. Rain, no. And this senior is totally gorgeous and was so easy to photograph. The image with her by the leaves is my total favorite. It is just so different and a little bit mysterious.

MIA Blogger

I know, I know. Four posts in one day. There might be a few of you who are now falling out of your seats. I have been totally MIA. I had a large number of "back before Christmas" orders, plus a ton of Christmas cards to design and print, so it has really been fun getting everything together. But so busy that I have neglected my poor blog.

I have more posts in the wings, so watch for a few more...

Megan - Senior Portraits Newberg

When Megan suggested an old abandoned house as a location for her senior portraits, I just knew that this session was going to be totally fun and different. The house totally rocked but it was covered in spiders and I hate spiders. My hate of spiders is somewhat irrational and at some point during the session, I started screaming like a crazy photographer. I really can't handle it if a spider touches me.
So random comment here: I totally think that Megan looks like Megan Fox, the actress on Tranformers. What do you think?

Jada and Jasmine - Newberg Children Portraits

I have been photographing these two little girls for around the past 4 years and I just love them to pieces. I am sure their mom is so tired of me telling her how much I adore her girls. Jada is such a sweet older sister has grown into such a gorgeous young lady. I still can't believe that she is in the 5th grade this year. Jasmine is so funny and silly and she always makes my heart smile. If there was American's Next Top model for children, she would win.
I know it will be a delightful day when I get to photograph these two sisters.

The Goldsmith Family - Newberg Family Portraits

Right before the rain hit, we took the couch out for one more ride and I am so glad we did. This family is so cool and they totally rocked the couch. The little ones were so adorable and just loved having their portraits created. They were so happy and so stinkin' cute that they melted my heart.
