PoBa Clothing Shoot | Portland Baby Photographer

Are you ready for some major cuteness?  I collaborated with Crystal Misner of PoBa Clothing (short for Portland Baby!) to do a clothing shoot for her new line of unique handmade baby clothes.  We headed out to Laurelhurst Park with a gaggle of babies and did the shoot last week. Special thanks to the moms for helping me wrangle the babies and get them all looking in the same direction for some of the group photos!  Can you even handle these sweet little faces??

LOVE the prints. Some of the fabrics Crystal uses are vintage, nice.  Two of the items she needed photographed for her line sheet and look book are baby clothes that have been repurposed from menswear: little girls’ dresses and boys’ pants.  Look closely at some of the pants and you can see the original cuffs!  My own little Jonah was one of the baby models, and I think that was my favorite clothing item on him 🙂  Crystal also makes retro-style cord pants with matching “bibdannas.”  Jonah has one of the bibdannas and it is by far the cutest accessory he owns.  I like to style it like a little baby ascot (that doubles as a drool catcher) and am looking forward to cooler weather so I can put it under a cardigan for that baby “nerd chic” look.  The bibdannas are very affordable and are for sale on the PoBa site.

Justin E. | Portland Senior Photographer

I got a chance to photograph a young lad and a couple young ladies yesterday at Tanner Springs Park–that place is a photographer magnet for a good reason!  There are so many versatile backgrounds for shooting, and it’s a lovely part of town.  Afterwards we went to Via Delizia, where I tried salted caramel coffee gelato, and it was one of the best things to happen to my taste buds… ever.  I also hit up Pro Photo for a couple things and got the usually knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly service.  Love that place.  I ended up getting a Gary Fong Lightsphere, so we’ll see how that works out in my next couple shoots.  I’m sure they are popular with the photogs for a reason!  I will post the rest of the teen pics, as well as some shots from the Portland Baby clothing shoot in the next few days.

Michelle & Vanessa from Mostly Stitches | Portland Portrait Photographer

I had the pleasure of doing a portrait of Michelle and Vanessa from Mostly Stitches.  I was pretty much in photographer heaven when they showed up in super-bright contrasting dresses and matching shoes!

These girls make the most adorable trinkets, sweaters, custom embroidered notebooks, and the sweetest embroidered pillowcases, which I sleep on every night!  The lockets you see them wearing in the photos are for sale on their Etsy site.  More pics on my Facebook page and Flickr site.
