Dynamic Toddler Session

Toddlers are certainly forces of nature. When I head out to a toddler portrait session, I prepare myself for all possibilities. Depending on the day and time, a photographer might encounter anything! Some toddlers are so shy that mom’s hand or leg is in every shot while others are so eager to get moving that mom and I are both left running the whole session!

I was nervous when I first arrived at this particular session because when I called mom to let her know I was outside, I was informed that they were waking her up from a nap and would be 10 minutes late. Waking up from a nap can certainly be unpleasant for all involved, but little Kay surprised us all with her good spirits! I did end up touching out a few pillow wrinkles on her cheek, but by the end of this session I was so happy I could barely contain myself. I always love kid photo sessions, but this one just really put a smile on my face. I hope it does yours, too!

Urban Sweetheart Session

I had a fabulous time with the sweetheart sessions booked through my Valentine’s Day free session promotion.  I’ve just got to share this one as it’s so much fun!  These guys were up for anything, including standing on a giant pedestal in downtown Portland and letting me set up lights and put them literally on display for a few minutes!

We did some long exposure light shots, silly ballroom dancing in the square, and beatles-style marches across main streets.  I went through about 4 different itterations before settling on this filmstrip.  I’ll try to post a few more on flickr.  These two were simply a joy to work with, and it paid off for them with unique and very cute portraits.  To the couple, I hope you enjoy your photos and I wish you the best of luck achieving what you’re setting out to achieve!

Why I take Photographs

Maternity Photo Collage from 2008

Maternity Photo Collage from 2008

There are so many reasons why I love taking photographs. The most compelling reason I can come up with off the top of my head this morning is the desire to share this life with people and capture it’s beauty.

Every portrait session is unique in its energy, its purpose, and its style in the moment. I love sitting down and looking through the photography that I’ve captured, but it’s just that much more rewarding when the photos find their way back to me again. For example, a mom that I worked with for maternity and newborn portraits back in 2008 sent me a note recently.

She said about her now one and a half year old daughter, “Ixa currently drags around the collage you made of my pregnancy pictures and talks about it all the time- it’s her favorite mama picture at the moment! thanks again!!”

If you’ve had doubts about why it’s important to allow a professional photographer to help you capture your memories, here’s just one testament to it’s true value.
