mehr family {portland lifestyle maternity + newborn photography}

always a dream to photograph my dear friends, the gorgeous Mehr family!

sharing my work has been on the back burner for the last few years for many reasons, and i’m so glad to finally share some more of my favorites from their most recent maternity + newborn sessions. (also super thankful i finally got Narrative, it has made blogging so much easier, which means i actually have time to do it! yay!)

reach out if you’d like to take advantage of discounted packages when you schedule both maternity + newborn sessions with me. xo

this little family is special to me - i had the honor of photographing Lucy's birth last February! i have yet to share those beautiful photos (though you can see a little sneak peek of one of them below - look out for the sweet rainbow-stamped foot!) but hope to get around to putting together my birth photography portfolio soon. i was thrilled to be asked to shoot a lifestyle session for their lovely family 9 months after Lucy's birth, it is always a joy to see the Reichmuths! especially on such a glorious sunshiney fall day.

PS - Brittany is an amazing photographer herself - check her out here!

who doesn't like to read books on blankets and blow bubbles? it was a perfect evening with Avery, Treveé, and their adorable and spunky daughter Bristol. Treveé is a super talented photographer as well (check her out here), and i had a great time with this sweet family. 

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.
