second star {personal}
Introducing our beautiful son, Felix August Alderaan! He was born in our home at 7:23pm on March 3, 2016 - weighing 9 lbs 10 oz, 21 inches long. Djuna is a wonderful big sister and we are all doing really well - although quiiiiite tired, as you can imagine.
i've always heard that you take less photos of the second baby and i have definitely found that to be true. so much less time to lay around and stare at Felix the way i did with Djuna... he spends a lot of time wrap-napping while i chase after his sister and the dogs and attempt to keep us fed and clothed. took me 3 weeks to get to posting this and i haven't even written out his birth story yet but look forward to sharing that soon on my tumblr.
i am catching up on sharing all of my work from last season, and looking ahead to an amazing 2016 season with my wonderful clients. this summer booked up fast and it's going to be a good one. cheers!!

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!

rachel + andrew // married | north star ballroom {portland wedding photography}
wrapping up my 2015 wedding blog posts (fiiiiiinally) and i can think of no better way to cap it off than with Rachel & Andrew's stunning and exuberant wedding! you may remember these two from their fun lifestyle engagement session (check it out here).
Rachel says it best: "We threw a big party and called it a wedding." But what a gorgeous party it was! Vintage details paired with unique touches like gold animals and dinosaurs accenting the florals and place cards; Rachel's exquisite beaded dress - everything came together with a Gatsby-esque flair and the North Star Ballroom was a perfect venue. And they had quite the dance party!!
It was truly a pleasure to be part of this day. Many thanks to my awesome second shooter, Sarah Valentine - she is always wonderful to work with and some of her images are mixed in below.
nicole + joe // married | troutdale house {portland wedding photography}
Nicole and Joe are so awesome. I knew their wedding was going to be amazing from the first time we chatted through email - and I had the best time with them on their engagement session (see the blog post here)! Their day was full of quirky and personal details inspired by Pokémon - invitations, centerpieces, delicate beaded backdrop behind the dessert table, tissue-paper bouquets, jewelry, Poké Ball ring holders: everything was so colorful and fun, just like the two of them. It's been a pleasure getting to know them and share in this time in their lives and I know they have plenty of wonderful adventures ahead!
