Anna - Newberg Baby Photographer

Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe how unbelievably adorable this sweet little baby was! I could have photographed her all day long. Her parents called me the baby
whisperer and threatened that they will call me at 2:00 in the morning when sleep deprivation kicks in. I told them to go for it!!!

But I am not a baby whisperer. I have but one trick that babies just can't resist. Stand up and hold the baby very tight and close to you. Straighted your back and bounce up and down bending the knees while making the shhh shhh noise very close to the baby's ear.

Poor baby. They just can't help but fall asleep...
















And here is Anna again at 4 months. I just love her sweet little smile... it makes my heart just melt.

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?
