First Outdoor Shoot of 2012 | Portland Family Photographer

We picked a lovely day for an outdoor shoot at Laurelhurst Park! It was a little chilly, but family portraits done outdoors are always more fun and colorful if the weather allows for it.  3-year-old Orla and baby cutie pie Kieran were great through the whole shoot, and I think Orla is my new best friend, tons of fun.  Here are a few of my favorites from this photo session: If I could have a photo of my own family just like that bottom-left one I could die happy.  Such a cute family!

Daddy Love | Portland Baby Photographer

There is something so special about dads & babies.  I took both of these portraits on the same day... different locations and families, but a very similar, sweet sentiment. There's nothing like daddy/baby love!

Laura came in for her 6 month update--we are doing a series of maternity portraits, with two more scheduled at 7 and 8 months.  Look here for the photos from her 5 month session.  I am working on a composite series, which I will be offering to all my clients starting this summer!  While she was in getting the 6-month pic for the composite, we took some more photos of her dancing, and I thought these two were strikingly similar... with one growing exception of course! Baby Hank is due in a few short months, can't wait for the next round of maternity pics... and of course his newborn photos in June!
