{I Heart Faces-bust a gut-laughter-} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I rarely share pictures of my 3 kids on my blog but when I saw this I Heart Faces contest I couldn't help myself.  This truly captures the contest and the silliness that goes on between siblings!

I was contacted by Britt owner of Poppy Row (http://www.etsy.com/shop/poppyrow) to do a shoot for her amazing hair pretties!  And when I say amazing I mean it, these are so well made and adorable!  All of the little models had a great time!

Miss Clara just turned one and I'm going to be sad I don't get to see her for her baby plan pictures!  She was all over the place for our session.  She's gotten quite the little personality too!  Enjoy your sneak peek Mom and Dad!

I had the pleasure to photograph the McGowan family once again.  It was so much fun seeing the twins at now 6 months.  And boy have they grown!  Enjoy your sneak peek Mom & Dad!

Love the coordinating hats Mom bought the kids!

{Watermelon Fairy} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I got a message to meet up with someone in the woods, I was a bit leary at first to see who might be waiting for me but low and behold I ran into fairy.  It was quite delightful and definitely a great experience!  She woke up and decided to come play with me....

Thanks for the fun shoot my little fairy!

{Art and Soul Boutique by Bercot} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I had the pleasure to do another product shoot but this time for Art and Soul Boutique by Bercot and boy did Kristine out do herself on this line.  Guess that means I like it right!  Well, you all know me and clothes ;-)  I shot two of my favorite girls, my own daughter and one of our good friends!  They were just the right pair for what they sent us to model.

If you haven't checked out their stuff make sure you do, it's beautiful, unique and well made!

{Sweet} - Portland/Vancouver Newborn Photographer

This little guy came to visit at 11 days old and he was my best baby yet!  Mom feed him and handed him over.  I shot him for 2 hours straight without him saying a peep.  He didn't even pee on me, which always happens ;-)

{Cutie Contest} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

This little guy was my cutie contest winner back in May but we just got around to doing his session.  He was all smiles but what else would you expect from such a handsome guy?  His brother decided to join him for a few pictures too!

Seriously, isn't he just the cutest little guy!  Those eyes just take you in, I'd do whatever he says!

{Happy} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I met up with this family at one of my favorite places, the Old Gristmill by my house.  The boys loved the water, fish and hike we took.  My just loved getting to spend sometime with her boys while I clicked away!

{Trio} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of these sisters for the first time together.  I've shot the two oldest before their sister was born and the baby as a newborn but never together.  It was a delightful time.  The girls were all giggles and smiles but what else would you expect right?!

While they sister was eating we got such a great serious of the two older girls together.  They had Grandma and me cracking up as themselves too!

{Cuddly} - Portland/Vancouver Newborn Photographer

Miss Claire came to meet me a little later then normal because she had to get healthy first.  But she didn't disappoint she was so cuddly, I seriously would've taken pictures of her all day!

{So Serious} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I met up with Raegan and her Mom to take some pictures for her 2nd birthday.  Mom had all kinds of props and outfits she brought along but Raegan had other ideas.  In the end Miss Serious did crack a few smiles but boy did she make us work for them ;-)

{Sweetie Bees Clothing} - Portland/Vancouver Children's Photographer

I was contacted by Jen owner of Sweetie Bees Clothing (etsy.com/shop/sweetiebees) to do a couple of shoots with two adorable dresses. We did the shoots on two different days, one at the beach and the other outside.  Miss Reese had a great time!
