Daddy’s Girl

Portland Baby and Daddy Portraits

This month I had the pleasure of doing a baby and daddy portraits session with Ellory. Talk about adorable! I honestly love photographing infants.

As I was wading through all of the cuteness, this image in particular stopped me in my tracks. What a beautiful moment with her Daddy. I imagine her whispering something sweet in his ear. 🙂

Since it is black and white, you can’t see how brilliant her blue eyes are. So you’ll have to trust me when I tell you that they are amazing. And that creamy skin. Ahhh.

I love all of the baby-goodness in this picture. It honestly doesn’t get much sweeter.

Glowing | Portland Maternity Photographer

As a maternity photographer, there is nothing like photographing an expectant mother’s beautiful “glow.” It really does exist. There is something radiant and gorgeous about a mom-to-be!

Sarah came into the studio to day to celebrate her second pregnancy with a portrait. We shared some giggles as we made some lovely photos. There are still many photos to go through from the shoot, but I had to pull this one out immediately. As soon as I released the shutter on my camera, I knew I had something special on this one. That beautiful glow is amazing!

Two Times the Cute

Portland Infant Portrait Photographer

I literally had double the cuteness in the studio today. My infant portrait session with Addison and Jackson was two times the fun and two times the cuteness.

I have to admit, when I heard I’d be photographing infant twins, I had no idea what to expect. I imagined babies going every direction. What I got was an adorable twosome that was SO EASY to photograph! They made my job so easy. They just sat there and looked cute. They’d occasionally interact with each other, but for the most part it was just flirting with the camera and being cute.

During our baby portrait session, I particularly got a kick out of Addison. I’d say something to her, and she’d give me a huge smile and a head shake that said, “No.” Too cute!

I still have many more photos to get through, but I thought I’d share a couple. The photos were too cute to keep to myself!

Eyes | Portland Glamour Photographer

Being a female glamour photographer is so empowering. I love working with other women to make them feel–and look!–their best. Seeing another woman light up and discover her own inner and outer beauty is very gratifying for me.

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with Juliana, a real Latina stunner from Costa Rica. As soon as Juliana walked into the studio, I knew she’d be fun to work with. Her eyes were–in my opinion–her most powerful asset. As I was finishing up the final edits from her shoot today, I came across this image. Originally shot in color, I thought it was pretty. On a whim I decided to convert it to black and white–BAM! That was the look I was hoping for. Look at those eyes! I mean wow!

It just goes to remind me. Some images beg to be colorless. Once converted, that old Hollywood glamour comes through!

Bailey

A Wedding Fashion Photography Session

As you can tell from recent posts, I’ve had a lot of photo shoots with children lately! But, in between all the cuteness, I also worked with beautiful Bailey on a wedding fashion photography shoot.

Bailey had a gorgeous designer wedding gown that was dying to come out of the closet for a “last hoo-rah.” Of course I was more than happy to oblige! It was a chance to combine my love for fashion photography with my love for designer wedding gowns. (Yes, I admit it. My guilty pleasures lately have been Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings.)

What made this shoot particularly fun is that we were able to just focus on the bride and the dress. I love shooting weddings, but this MUCH quieter shoot was stress free and without the worry of wedding-day timelines. We were able to focus simply on turning Bailey into the glamourous princess every bride wants to be.

So if you have a dress that is ready for “one last dance” before it goes into the preservation box, why not schedule a shoot?! Much more elegant than a “Trash the Dress” session, and you’ll still have the dress for years to come…
