Pregnancy makes up such a short, but significant, time in every parent's life. I enjoy taking maternity photos because there is such a wide array of emotions involved...from introspective to wacky! Brad and Annie are such a sweet couple and it was clear their baby was going to be surrounded with love...and humor! Here are some photos of our shoot at Cathedral Park under the St. John's Bridge.

Sorry for the long break between posts, but I've been a bit busy! My beautiful son, Zane, was born in October and I've been occupied with being a new Mama. He is 4 months old now and doing great, my husband and I couldn't be happier with him. Here are a few shots I took during his 3 month photo shoot. He is going to be very accustomed to having a camera pointed at him that's for sure!!

Here are a few of my favorites from a business portrait shoot with Phil. We walked around his office building in NE Portland so we could capture a good mix of plain backgrounds as well as cityscapes since he wanted these for multiple uses. In the end we had a good mix of professional and casual shots, good work Phil!

Something I recently learned is that when applying for a job overseas, most companies require you to submit a photo with your resume. This is not PC here in the US, but quite typical everywhere else.  Huh...who knew!  I learned this when I was chatting with Sara as we shot some portraits of her to include in with her application to teach English in Korea.  I've heard through the grapevine that Sara got the job and is now happily teaching away. So if anyone else needs some business portraits taken give me a call!! :)

Bruce and Donna decided they needed some family portraits before half of the group left to live in Hawaii. Personally I would have waited to schedule the shoot for Hawaii, buy maybe that's just me! :)  Everyone was so much fun and you could really tell that this is a tight knit family. Towards the end I even got to try out my new fun toy. It's a fisheye attachment and the kids loved it!!
