SNEAK PEEK: Baby D

Getting warmed up after a nice holiday break with a sweet photo of this little guy. More to come soon! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

The Kohls

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.

 

SNEAK PEEK: The McNeals

One of my favorites from our recent session with the McNeal Family… more to come soon!

 

The Doughertys

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!
