Family Portraits: Wilsonville Oregon

Memorial Park is always a nice location for photos, especially on HOT summer days! All of the trees and little hills make nice, shady spots to tuck into for photos.

Senior Portraits: Wilsonville High School

The school year is fast approaching and I have been having a lot of fun photographing local high school students. Senior year is such an exciting time and it is always interesting to meet new seniors and capture their different personalities!

My Three Girls

I feel truly lucky to have been blessed with these three girls!

Josie was given the most adorable hand made dress that I have ever seen. After buying Brook and Ava coordinating sweaters we headed out to the field behind our house (one of my favorite locations!) for a mini photo session. I am so excited to finally have some pictures of all three of my girls together!

What is going on with the weather?? The forecast called for a nice weekend, in the mid to upper 70's, and it has been cloudy with intermittent sprinkles. Tomorrow we are hosting a pool party with a bunch of Ava's friends to celebrate her 6th birthday, and my anxiety level continues to rise as I watch the wind and clouds outside my window.

Today's weather was perfect for portraits. The slightly overcast sky and even lighting was a nice change from the blazing hot and bright sun that was happening prior to my maternity leave. I met two adorable kids at Murase and we walked around and only got sprinkled on a few times :)

Josie Eleanor

On Tuesday July 28th at 12:35 pm, Josie Eleanor was born. She weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces and is 19 inches long. We are so excited to have our sweet baby girl home with us!

Senior Portraits: Portland Oregon

I met this St. Mary's senior at Hoyt Arboretum in Portland, Oregon. We had fun walking along the trails, looking at flowers and plants, and finding pretty places to stop for pictures. I always love exploring new locations! I am so excited to be gearing up for another season of seniors. I can't believe it is already time for the class of 2010!

Our family is excitedly counting down the days until our new baby girl arrives. We are down to single digits... 9 more days! I have been busily taking pictures and getting as many photo shoots in as I can before the baby gets here.

I met Jude and Jack a few days ago at Murase Plaza. It has been so hot all week (horror for my pregnant body!) but we got through the shoot, and then I think the kids were off to ice cream and swimming while I came home to edit (in front of the air conditioner!).
