Baby Macy

They say you can’t pick your family, but if we were picking, we’d pick these two, no question. Lucky us, they ARE family and dear, dear friends.

We enjoyed a brisk, damp January morning together capturing them in the last weeks before Baby Macy makes his/her appearance. They brought their own energy and ideas to the shoot and we had fun tromping around the wet field just across the street from their house. We have to give a shout out to our sidekick, Sage, who was along for the ride and was a grinning machine, encouraging some genuine laughter and smiles from her aunt and uncle.

The last nine months has been a joyous ride and I’d say they are ready to meet this coming baby–as are we! You guys have prepared so well and Baby Macy is going to be stoked to have you two as parents.

Stay tuned to the blog as we look forward to sharing pics of the wee one after s/he is born!

Darren + Kelly + Milo

Don’t you wish YOU were getting a Christmas card from these guys?! What says Merry Christmas more than a cute pug dressed in a Santa hat? These guys were troopers once again on a chilly December afternoon, but Milo came well prepared with his warm sweater and matching hat. Maybe slightly embarrassed that Milo has a cuter Christmas outfit than my daughter, but…I’ll have to get to work on that one. Merry Christmas Darren, Kelly, and Milo!

“Sweetness and light” is how my grandmother refers to little babies and as I look at this tiny babe, that’s what comes to mind. A precious little guy who is growing and changing so much. I love how adoringly these parents look at their son in these photos. Can’t keep their eyes off of him and I can’t blame them! (We still have a hard time looking away from our daughter and she’s nine months now–don’t want to miss anything!) Baby D was about 5 weeks old for his first photo session and it was clearly no big deal for him. Congratulations, Parents! So glad to have had the chance to meet your new baby and capture his sweetness.

Rick + Christine + Ariy @ Six Months

Not everyone who experiences pregnancy gets to do it alongside a friend and co-worker, but it worked out that way for Christine and I. Our daughter, Sage, and her son, Ariy were due about 7 weeks apart from one another so we were able to check in with each other during the work day, comparing weird pregnancy symptoms and encouraging each other to try different things to help our ailments. We also made a point of meeting up about once every month or so to process together and swap notes on things we had been reading and learning. It’s been fun to keep connecting and watching each others kiddos change and grow, swap more advice, and hope that our kids become friends some day! Needless to say it was a joy to spend some time with the whole family and get a snapshot of Ariy at six months.

If you have never been to Sauvie Island in the autumn months, you MUST put this on your calendar for next year. We have been out there the last two Octobers and it’s just great. Being only 15-20 minute drive from NW Portland, you wouldn’t believe how quickly you’re in rural Oregon. It’s beautiful! With every bend in the road there are farms, pumpkin patches, beaches, u-pick areas, and lots of flat road for biking. We were excited when the Kohl Family wanted to head that way for their session and we made sure to arrive early so we could enjoy Kruger’s Farm Market before we started. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful afternoon or great location!

When you get a chance, check out this family’s work and vision for food and nutrition justice in the Portland area. They are working hard in a much needed area of change.

I think these photos speak for themselves of a family who enjoys being and playing (and reading! see below…) together. Nothing forced about the fun, smiles, and laughter that emerged from this session. These guys are on our minds and hearts quite often and we were pleased to have another chance to document their family life. And, we had the perfect autumn day with golden light shining through the leaves and blue sky with no clouds. Lovely! It’s been nearly two years since our last photo session and the personality of these two kids has come alive in that time. Such fun to see! I think you’ll be able to pick some of that personality out, as well, as you enjoy this session!

And a bonus shot… John really does get his workouts in during photo sessions!

Looking out the window at a grey sky afternoon, realizing autumn/winter is settling in, trying to think warm thoughts, and getting some help by looking at this gorgeous blue sky and remembering the beautiful the day this photograph was taken. Hope it brings happy thoughts your way too!

It’s such a pleasure to get to work with families multiple times. Getting to see kids changing after a few months or a year is so fun! These kids are just getting cuter each time we see them. This photo session marked the one year birthday of the littlest Erickson. And if those big brown eyes aren’t enough to make you want to pick him up and kiss his sweet little face! It was great to see you guys again!
