A lovely portrait from a new mama boudoir session in the studio… March 2012.

this one makes me laugh every time I see it.

There’s a wonderful anticipation and joy with first time parents. And the reason is pretty obvious!

This little guy was seven days old when I came to visit. I like to photograph newborns when they’re fresh and still extremely flexible and sleepy.

I’m so thankful to have my first Portland portrait clients. It feels good to be back at work.

This one’s their favorite, and one of mine too!
