sylvie | st johns {portland family photography}

i spent a lovely morning with this little family earlier this year. as soon as i walked up to the door and saw the quote from beatrix potter i knew i was going to like them.

sylvie was 3 1/2 at the time and if you've ever been around a kid that age you know how full of wonder and spunk they are, it's a magical time in childhood. she very graciously served her mama and I at a tea party, listened to a sweet story, wrestled with her papa, and led us on an exploration of the garden, the nearby field and a favorite tree. 

they were getting ready to move away, so it was a privilege to be able to document a tiny snippet of their lives at sylvie's first home. i'm always up for a session like this - i play the observer, and we just let everyone be themselves and see where the day takes us. now that i'm a parent i believe in this more than ever - these "day-in-the-life" moments are the ones you want to hold onto.

Eileen & Brent | Washington Park {Portland Engagement Photography}

These two are a lot of fun, and so is their awesome pup Oscar!! He was a very patient model, only demanded one short break to chase a squirrel. Really looking forward to Eileen & Brent's wonderful wedding this August!

Katy & Robby {Portland Engagement Photography}

I'm so thrilled to be photographing this awesome couple's wedding this August at Wellspring Spa near Mt. Rainier. They are from Seattle but came down to Portland for a little mini-vacation for Katy's birthday and braved the rain with me for their engagement portraits. We went down to Waterfront Park, checked out the saturday market, headed over to Forest Park, and then back over to the Eastbank Esplanade. It was really fun getting to know these two and I'm so looking forward to their wedding!
