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.

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!

Don & Heather

For Don and Heather there was no question about what the theme of their wedding would be–the only question was, “Do we bring the horses to the wedding?” The answer in the end was “Yes!” This was the first cowboy themed wedding either of us had been part of and the details of the day were very fun. We’re thankful to have gotten to know Heather through a group at our church and were excited for the chance to not only see her get married to Don, but to be part of her day in this special way behind the camera.

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.

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!

Peterson Family | Newborn

Nothing makes you melt like a teeny-tiny new baby. This little peanut addition to the Peterson family will make you do just that. A sweet little bundle, it was our pleasure to spend a little time with him and his parents. That newborn “look” only lasts a short time and then you’re wondering how you got four months down the road (only speaking from personal experience) and realizing how much those little features have changed in such a short time. Sarah and Brian, I know you are treasuring your little guy and each moment with him!

I find it so special when a family gives the gift of photography. Capturing a time that commemorates a special occasion, a milestone or completed goal, or an important life event, can be so meaningful. The memories that can be passed down because of a photograph and the stories that can be remembered by a picture are part of what helps keep our own personal and family history alive. We spent an August evening doing just that for the Anderson family as they celebrated the 45th wedding anniversary of their parents/grandparents.

Happy Anniversary and many more to come!

Mr. O.K. | Kids & Families

Being a kid is rough in the Macy family as there is always a camera in your face, excluding eating times. But, seriously, you can’t help yourself when you have little guys like O.K. running/crawling around the house. You just want to capture it all! We were so delighted that John’s sister, brother-in-law, and son made their second trip of the year out to Oregon from Philadelphia over the Christmas holiday. Although it started and ended with complications (to put it gently), there were a few days in the middle that were really nice. While they were in town, we took the three out for a mini-session. Here’s a glimpse, with more pictures on Facebook!

When’s the last time your family (like your parents and siblings) had professional photos? If I don’t count weddings, which is kind it’s own thing, I am pretty sure our family’s last professional photo was our church photo from 1992. Yes, I remember the bangs of myself and my sisters. Enough said–I don’t think we need to dig out that photo. It’s such fun to see adult children initiating family photo sessions and giving their folks a reason to take that circa 1992 family photo off the wall.

This afternoon session with the Staley’s was a Christmas gift from daughter, Rachelle. We were glad to have some sun breaks on a chilly December day out in the Yamhill County farm country. Can you tell who stole the show?
