My, how time flies…I can’t believe little baby C is already a year old! This precious little angel recently celebrated her first birthday, marking the end of our series of four first-year portrait sessions. I brought balloons and cupcakes to this big girl’s B-day, which we celebrated together at the family’s lovely home (and, conveniently enough, doubled as a photo shoot). Documenting year One in the life of little C from her first days at home on through to her very first birthday, the adorable, candid images from these sessions are all part of the book I’m putting together for proud parents Cara and Brett.

There is nothing more fun to me than following around little tiny babies and documenting their fast changing first year. I’ve been working with this little gal and her family since she was just a pea in a pod. And now look at her, strong enough to push up those cheeks! We met up at Laurelhurst park for a little chilling in the grass and captured some really adorable expressions from this bouncing baby girl.

Next time we meet she’ll be sitting up. The years will fly by so quickly! When I’m shooting her high school senior portraits her mom and I will be fondly remembering these heady days.

Professional Portraits – NE Portland

As many of you know I’m a HUGE fan of Portland’s Adventure Boot Camp for Women run by Daniel Iversen in the Hollywood district. It has totally changed my life!
Daniel’s program has grown over the years and it’s no longer a one man show. Recently, he hired Sue Weinberger to help train and inspire. Sue and I got together for a portrait session at Grant Park on a gorgeous day. I love this shot of Sue because she looks totally relaxed and ready to have fun, yet professional and welcoming.

Do you have an awesome professional portrait?
