Rick + Christine + Ariy @ Six Months

admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:27:20 +0000

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.

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!

This baby girl is in for quite a ride–her three big brothers (who are part kid, part Energizer bunny) will keep her moving, or chasing after them, for a long time. They are a fun bunch and she is lucky to have each of them. She is going to definitely have to learn to keep up or these boys will be leaving her in the dust! They are each so different and it was such fun to hang out for a Saturday morning. The incentive for these kids was a delicious doughnut from the famous Portland shop, Voodoo Doughnuts. Let me tell you, parents, we are all about incentives when it comes to photo sessions with kids! The kids held to their end of the bargain and I’m curious to know what doughnuts they chose as their reward… Thanks Perez Fam for a fun time and thanks also to Pinky and Laura for use of their home and neighborhood!

Okay, seriously. The farther I got into editing this session, the more it confirmed my belief that the Peterson family truly enjoys one another. These aren’t fake it for the camera smiles–it’s the real deal. And oh how they adore that little guy (how could you not–check out the boots on that kid!). Keep enjoying, loving and laughing together!

Having history with people makes life sweet and getting to be part of the present is even better. These guys go way back (well Nate and John do anyhow)…way back to middle school (yikes!), college, being in our wedding (Nate) and uncomfortably pregnant with their first baby (Kim) on a very hot August weekend. They are on their third son and are doing their best to savor the precious moments with *perhaps* the final addition to their family (you just can never be too certain about the finality of such things =)). What a pleasure to hang out with them twice between June and July and get to document a little bit of life as it’s happening right now.

John got a good morning workout running around Cook Park with this family and their one year old son. What a fun time! One year is quite a mile mark and such a fun time to document. The smiles and cute looks from little Max are precious…and check out that hat! Thanks for a great start to the day, guys!

Happy Birthday to the Grandmother of this clan! Again, we just love, love, love photography as a gift for family members celebrating anniversaries or birthdays or other important events. The four siblings pulled together and organized this birthday present for their mother–photos of the whole group and, most importantly, the grandkids!

Does anyone in the Portland area remember that awful Sunday morning in July when we looked out our windows and couldn’t believe how hard it was raining? Yep, that was our lucky day! These guys didn’t blink at it, but powered through and were flexible as we all did our best to stay dry and out of the torrential downpour. They even managed some awfully great smiles! As always, the kids stole the show. Thanks again to all the cousins who helped bring out the best smiles. You guys were so great! Let’s do it again some time…maybe when it’s sunny? =)

Oh my how time passes! Hard to believe this guy is one year old now. And what a cutie! Those big brown eyes are too much! He’s an active one, keeping his parents entertained and on their toes. Thanks for spending an early summer evening hanging out. It was great to see you again!
