The Ray Family-

Although I wouldn't call myself a family photographer, every once in awhile I get the privilage of shooting a family session. Each time I do, I am so happy I did. It was so fun getting to know the Ray family a little bit. Look at them! Aren't they the cutest?!

Baby #3

Last week I got to see a very special couple. I met this couple four years ago when Stephanie was pregnant with baby boy #1. I have had the special opportunity to document her three pregnancies and her two sons' newborn pictures. Their family will soon welcome their first daughter this summer! Congratulations Campbell family!

Carly Turns 5!

Miss Carly had another photo shoot. She had another birthday and is now 5! I'm so thankful her mom and I are good friends so that I can continue to watch Carly and her brother grow, and freeze time for just a moment with my camera. Happy birthday, sweet girl!

Sydney Kate-

This little one was a long time in coming. After years of prayers from countless friends and family, Sean and Amy excitedly announced the arrival of their beautiful daughter! And I got to document this amazing event! Eeekk! Oh and I'm LOVING this new, simple look- really showcases the sweet baby!

Finley-

Normally, I schedule newborn sessions months in advance. I teasingly, yet seriously, tells mamas, when you see two lines on the stick, contact me to get your due date on my calendar. However, this mama didn't get that memo and I couldn't say 'no' to a family I had seen before. Finley has a big sister, Bailey and her pictures are here. And now, I introduce you to Finley...

Meet Little Lydia-

I love when I can follow a family as they grow. I first met the Brasseur family when mama was about to bring Abigail into this world. Now here we are welcoming baby sister, Lydia. Two precious girls. Also, I started photographing newborns in my new minimalist style: less fluff, and just pure, sweet baby on a white or black background. I think I love it. No, I know I love it!

Introducing Kaitlyn-

Once again, I got to work with another sweet baby girl in her first few days of life.  Here is Kaitlyn.

Gavin Turns 8!

If you've paged through my blog at all, you have probably seen Carly Grace. Well, Carly has a big brother, Gavin. He and I had a great time one fall afternoon as he showed me his skills in soccer and football. This little man is all boy- with his tousled hair and dirty hands, what's not to love?!

Carly Turns 4!

Carly Grace! What a joy to photograph this little one from year to year. Carly was so cute and cooperative on her 4 year old photo shoot. Her birthday theme this year was Sofia the First (Disney Cartoon) so of course we needed a picture in her princess dress. For more of Carly, you can find her here, here, here, and here. =)

The Lewis Family

Amanda, Rylee's mom, was hoping to get a quick family picture during their visit from the east coast. Of course it had to rain at our scheduled session. (It is Oregon ;)) I am so glad I found a little spot on our property and for their cheerful attitudes about the situation because I love this shot we caught. (Dad and Mom workin' it for little Rylee- haha!) Love it!

Rylee!

I was so sad when I couldn't squeeze in a newborn shoot for Rylee when she came for her Auntie Ashley's wedding. :( So, I was so happy to have the opportunity to capture this little beauty when she turned six months old! On a cold, rainy day, Rylee was a pure joy to photograph indoors.
