love at first sight {personal}

in , , , ,

hello friends! just wanted to make a quick personal post to introduce you to someone new and very special - our daughter Djuna Beatrix. she was born in our home on April 17, 2014 at 2:27pm, weighing 8 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inches long. we are both healthy and so happy!

these first precious days with her have been so amazing and filled with love and support from our family and friends.

i am resting for a couple weeks but already thinking of this upcoming wedding season with excitement. check back for some of my 2014 couples' engagement sessions soon!

it goes without saying that there will be lots of photographs of this child [but they will mostly be on my tumblr]. here is one to start. much love!

Niscelle & Molly | Forest Park {Portland Couples Photography}

in , ,

Niscelle originally planned this shoot long distance from Washington DC as a surprise anniversary present for Molly, who is a Portland native - after talking to Niscelle over the past few months, I could not wait to meet them both! apparently, they met in Forest Park, so it turned out to be the perfect place to photograph them. 

a sweet, silly and fun-loving couple. crisp fall light. a walk through the leaves. can't really ask for much more than that!

Amber & Jason | NW Portland {Portland Engagement Photography}

in , , ,

I just have to say, there is something special about fall in Portland. Sure, it's chilly, but the light is so beautiful! To start off Amber & Jason's engagement session, I met up with them at one of their favorite coffee places. I took a few frames from their apartment balcony as well before we went down to the Broadway Bridge and wandered around a bit in the Pearl. I had such a good time photographing these two - they are such a sweet couple and I can't wait for their wedding in Hood River next summer! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
