We don't often get the opportunity to capture little ones, but when we do it opens up a whole world to us that we never think of. We roll on our tummies, make funny noises and have to be more patient than any other kind of photoshoot. Quite honestly it gives us an opportunity to explore new angles that we just wouldn't think of if it was an adult. I love how baby photoshoots just bring out the super goofy side of us out.

It wasn't too long ago that I was sitting inside a bridal suite with Tiffany as I captured her putting
One of the greatest blessings in our job is that we get the opportunity to be with our couples on the very best day of their lives. We see them at their happiest, looking their very best, and celebrating their lives together. It wasn't too long ago that I was sitting inside a bridal suite with Tiffany. We captured Tiffany and Franklin's wedding a little over a year ago and now we are sitting next to little Cole. Now we are able to celebrate the next generation of their marriage and the exciting new life they have together. It's almost as though we get to be there for all the good stuff.
And Cole is the good stuff. He is such an amazing little boy who desperately wants to show you everything he finds and give it a taste too. He smiled through the entire photo shoot and even danced for us as the sun fell over the beach. We had such an amazing time catching up with Tiffany and Franklin. It is so amazing to be apart of their lives through so many big moments.






Big sister was there too...to support Cole and teach him how to work the camera.



























I love little toes!







"No, no,...don't put that in your mouth!"





Portland Oregon Baby Portrait Photographers

Baby photo shoots are unlike any other kind of photography out there. You can't plan out a time line or think of different poses that will work in a specific location. Sure you can plan different ideas...but that's all they are...ideas.
For Jaycee it was easy. She is an absolutely gorgeous baby who was a little on the sleepy side. As we danced around her capturing every yawn, smile and wrinkled nose I kind of laughed to myself. I realized at that moment that this beautiful little bundle of preciousness completely controled the photo shoot. If Jaycee wanted to crawl then that was the new idea for the moment. If she wanted to chew on her tutu, then that's what we were capturing. I guess we could have posed her, but that's not really our style. I like capturing Jaycee just as she is. And as she yanked a big fist full of daddy's hair I realized that it was working. It was cute.

Jaycee was so fun to capture and I am so thankful that her parents gave us the opportunity to capture these moments.

I had no idea that Eddie captured this moment. It totally tickled my heart when I saw it.













Like I said...she was swimming and so that became the pose of the moment.

I love baby portraits. I love their little fingers and their tiny little nails. Their wrinkly toes and chunky legs.
Photographing babies is like having a beautiful little master piece that you are being asked to capture just as it is. Perfect. It isn't an easy job trying to capture perfect. But, it's really really fun trying.

These are some shots from Chara's 2 month photo shoot.
