Owen James

I had so much fun taking pictures of Owen! He is the sweetest little boy that you will ever meet!
For a few days, we had tons of rain...and on this particular day, we had about 25 minutes of a break, so we went to a nearby park and took some pictures! Owen had learned how to walk and run a little...so I was all over the place trying to get some good shots of him! I had a ton of fun though. Like I said in my previous post...I just ADORE kids, and no matter what they always put a smile on my face!
Hope you enjoy these couple pictures of Owen! ;)

Children's Portrait, Hillsboro, Oregon |Conner & Riley

Oh how much I LOVE kids! If you don't know me...well, I absolutely ADORE them!
I love how innocent they are, I love how they just speak the truth, I love how they are just so care free yet so compassionate and kind, I love that they are so motivated to learn and how curious they can be, I love that they have no fear, I love how the sky is the limit for them, I love how selfless they are, I love how they go after their dreams....well I could go on and on! I sometimes sit back and think to myself, why I don't have that same courage anymore, or drive to go after my dream because fear comes in my way..
Anyway....kids just simply put a HUGE smile on my face. I miss working at my old preschool. :( I miss all my kids there! But the bright side is, I get to meet new little faces all the time through photography! And spending a few hours with them, playing with them, etc....well I love every second of it!

I had the honor of taking a few pictures a little while back of the cutest brother and sister, Conner and Riley!

Happy weekend everyone! :)

Engagement Session, Portland Oregon | Haley and Dan

Haley and Dan definitely have a fun story on how they met!
Dan started to explain the story by telling me him and Haley are both in the medical field doing two complete different things. Dan was all smiles as he was telling me about the first time he saw Haley in the hallway one day at the hospital!  He asked around to see who she was, and Haley had no interest in Dan at all! But for Dan it was love at first sight, he says! He would purposely make his way around that part of the hospital more often to see Haley, but she never seemed to give him any sign of interest! Long story short, they eventually kept bumping into each other, as they seemed to have some mutual friends and they slowly started getting to know each other, and the rest is history!! :)

Moved....

Some of you know, that I just moved to Portland,Oregon a few days ago, from California!
It still hasn't hit me just yet. I still feel that I'm on some sort of vacation, only unpacking tons of boxes in involved this time!
My first full day, as an Oregonian...I unpacked everything from the car, and then went with my cousins to Chuck E Cheese! haha!
Anyway, on my drive up from Cali, I stopped a few hours in Sacramento, and shot a maternity shoot. Here is a sneak peek!
