National Adoption Day
Families come together in many ways. This Saturday I took my backdrop and lights down to the Lloyd Center Mall in Portland Oregon to volunteer my time taking free pictures of children and families attending the National Adoption Day celebration “Oregon Celebrates Adoption“. I’ve always felt strongly about adoption, especially as our population expands and children [...]
Kids Are So Fun To Photograph!
I can never say it enough: I absolutely love photographing children. Parents tell me all the time “You have so much patience”. I guess they are right, but from my perspective I’m just on a play date with the kids. It’s a whole lot of fun! And it ought to be… If we aren’t having [...]
Creative Family Portraits
The holiday season is about a lot of things. It’s about bundling up and getting ready to spend some cozy time inside, trying out some new recipes and sharing delicious food. It’s about recognizing the important people in your life and taking the time to thank them for all that they are. People find all [...]
Tie Dye Birthday
Zander turned 1 this month and since dad has been making tie dye all his life, what better way to celebrate than with family pictures where everyone is wearing tie dye! This little guy has grown so much since he was in as a newborn… it’s always amazing to me how quickly they change. [...]
Foggy Family Beach Pictures
Weather is not easy to predict. It seems like the end of August would be guaranteed excellent weather, but in the Puget Sound fog is always a possibility. Mom was visibly disappointed when she arrived at 11AM with everyone dressed in bright summery outfits and no sun to be found. Luckily I have an honest [...]
More Family Pictures
Here’s another amazing family from my holiday photography season. Mom contacted me with a plea, asking if there was any way I shoot a family portrait session between Dec 23 and Dec 29th, since her family would be together only for that short window of time. She shared that her oldest son lives in Seattle, [...]
First Birthday Cake Photos
Kids change so much during their first years, and the first birthday is an exciting one because the whole experience is brand new! Last weekend I had the joy of documenting little Kaylee’s first birthday cake encounter. She took it like a champ, and was very thoughtful about the whole thing. I was expecting a [...]
Being Visible: Serravision Video Production!
Today I had a multi-purpose photo session! I took some ridiculously adorable photographs of these two little ones while I was filmed and a few other former clients were interviewed in order to produce a short promotional video for Serravision Photography. As a photographer who’s used to being able to come home and look at [...]
Baby Photography Is All About Toes Today!
There is something delightful about toes to a baby, and about a baby playing with his or her toes to a parent. Photographers are not immune to this! One of my favorite ages to photograph a baby is just after they discover their toes. Many parents do newborn pictures and then they do first birthday [...]
Children’s Photography In The Park
I like to play in these situations and take more traditional shots with everyone smiling and looking at the camera as well as more non-traditional shots that are more like a slice of life and then put them together.
Two-Year-Old Twins Portraits!
Few things are more challenging than pre-speech twins, but if you know the right moves they can be a blast, and the portraits can be so cute!
