Bonus points here if you can tell me what book they’re reading! (One of my favorite children’s books of all time.)
She has some of the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen! Isn’t she adorable?!!
Kris and Bobi (and kids!), thanks for a great time! I can’t wait to show you the rest!
]]>Here are Josiah and Kefir’s more traditional “faces forward” portraits:
My goal with this set was to show a slice of preschool life. These are the ones I really love!
Alright, here are the images of my first family portrait album that I promised you yesterday. I am so excited to share these with you, and I am delighted to be able to offer such beautiful books to my wonderful clients!
By the way, if you haven’t yet, make sure to turn up your speakers and enjoy the slideshow I put together of the design. Okay, back to the images of the album!
Yes, the images are printed directly on the cover (and yes, the family’s name is blurred only on the web, not on the actual book, for their privacy).
Some more images of the outside of the book.
Now let’s open the album. The front and back inside covers are classy black.
The first spread.
And the last spread.
Here’s a close up of the last spread, showing the fine art matte texture of the pages. Beautiful!
Another spread – I love the images on these pages!
And a close up of that same spread, showing the detail of the crease. I love how the pages are seamless, allowing perfect panoramic images without a gap in the middle. Can I say it again? Beautiful!
Here are all of the spreads at once! If you want to see what they look like, make sure to watch the design slideshow.
I’ll leave you with an image of my favorite spread. Thanks for looking!
Do you remember the portraits I did of Antoine and Rocio’s family in Cannon Beach? If not, here are parts one, two, three, and the slideshow. I’ve designed an album for them, and now I get to share it with you! Here’s one of my favorite spreads (opposite pages that together make one design):
And a slideshow of the entire design – the cover and 23 spreads.
The book is on its way to the family now, but I snagged a few images of it (Okay, “a few” translates to “over a hundred,” but what can I say? It’s gorgeous!) before I shipped it off. I’ll share them with you soon (Well, I’ll share a few – not all hundred!)!

Such a precious moment!
I said this in the last post, but I love the bright, vibrant colors in Calista’s room!
Riding the rocking horse!
Ice cream time – look at that HUGE cone!!!
I love this…Rob and T.L. in the background, having fun watching their little girl…Calista just enjoying eating.
Sneaky, Rob!
The aftermath. She looks disappointed that she couldn’t finish the whole thing!
I love this image!
Bathtime!
I love these details!
Time for washing…
…and rinsing!
Calista is just so stinkin’ cute!
A quick towel-off…
…and it’s into PJs to play a bit before bed:
Such cute little hands!
I absolutely love these last two images!
Thanks for looking through all of these! I hope you enjoyed them, and I’m sure I’ll add more images of Calista throughout the year when our families hang out together.
]]>I’m back with more, and I’ve got so many favorites that I’m going to have to divide it into two posts! Make sure to watch the slideshow after you’ve enjoyed these!
Getting ready for the session:
We started out with Calista in diapers – she did not want to get dressed after this!
T.L. did manage to get Calista dressed, and we went to the kitchen for a bit.
I love the colors in Calista’s room!
Calista spent awhile with Rob…
…throwing sugar packets!
They played “catch” with Rob’s wedding ring:
I love the colors of all the toys in these images!
Clapping!
High five!
This is only the first half of our session! Check back tomorrow for some fun images with ice cream and then bath time! In the meantime, enjoy the slideshow!

I’ve got a few more images to share with you from my family portrait session with Antoine and Rocio’s family that we did in beautiful Cannon Beach! If you haven’t yet, make sure to check the previous posts here and here. After you enjoy these images, make sure that you don’t miss their awesome slideshow!
I love the reflections here!
Don’t they look great?!!
I hope you’ve enjoyed these! This ranks as one of the best (and most fun!) photo sessions I have done – Antoine, Rocio, and kids, thank you for the opportunity!
If you didn’t already click on it, make sure to watch the slideshow!
]]>I got to hang out with her for a couple of hours and do a portrait session on Tuesday evening, and we had so much fun! Here are a few of my initial favorites for you to enjoy:
Make sure to check back, and I’ll post more soon!
]]>I’m having such a fun time with these gorgeous images! I’m not quite done working on them all, but I wanted to share some more of my favorites with you. I hope you enjoy them!
Can you imagine a more beautiful backdrop for a family to hang out and play?
I had no idea how many awesome locations the Cannon Beach area has! I’ve been here several times with my family when I was a kid, and a few times as an adult, but I don’t think I ever made it outside of the Haystack Rock area. We started out at Ecola State Park…
…and moved on to Hug Point:
I love reflections!
Have you ever seen a waterfall right next to the ocean? Beautiful!
I love this image!
We ended at Haystack Rock, just in time for the sunset!
A few of the kids…
Aren’t they a great looking couple?!
I still have some more favorites to post for you – check back soon! We made a lot of great images – too many to share only a few!

Oh, I want to make sure to put in a plug for the business Antoine and Rocio own here, Haystack Lodgings. I am so enjoying the house they’ve put us up in – I’ll try and get some images of it to share with you before we check out today. If you’re planning on staying in Cannon Beach, you should definitely check them out!
My family will be hanging out at the beach for a while today, and we’ll take some of our own family portraits. Make sure to check back soon, and I’ll have a bunch more of Antoine and Rocio’s images to share with you, as well as some of our own!
]]>Back in the middle of July, Jared and Charmane and their three kids got together with me and we had an awesome photo session! A while ago, Charmane called to let me know that Jared’s family was coming down for a week from Canada, and they wanted to do a portrait session with the whole group. It turned out to be such a fun time, and I have so many beautiful images, that it’s hard to whittle it down to just a few for you. Enjoy them, and don’t miss the slideshow!
We started out with the whole group…
…then moved on to some smaller groupings. Here’s Jared, Charmane, and their kids, along with Chloe, Jared’s younger sister.
Jared’s brother Andrew and his fiancée Ivy are getting married next year. Don’t they look cute?!
I love this shot!
Colleen and her husband Mike are such a great couple!
Coleen sure has fun being a grandma with baby Keely!
Chloe hanging out with her dad:
Doesn’t this look like fun?!
This is just so cute – I love it!
Chloe with her future sister-in-law:
That’s Rory on Jared’s shoulders.
Chloe’s only pretending to be camera shy!
Victor and Chloe had fun goofing off for me!
Colleen, Mike, and Chloe took a walk along the beach.
I saw them eyeing the geese, but I had no idea…
…what they were planning!
Andrew and Ivy took a walk along the beach as well, but they didn’t chase the geese!
I love these images.
Especially this one!
Chloe ran in while we were shooting. This one is so cute, with her hanging on her big brother!
Colleen and Mike with their grandkids. I just love the light at sunset!
Colleen with her boys. Don’t they look great?!
And the final group portrait of everyone together on the beach:
Thanks, everyone! It was a wonderful time!
Oh, don’t forget to watch the slideshow if you haven’t yet!
]]>We had such a fun time in Leslie Groves Park – it’s been one of my favorites since I was a kid. Now it’s one of my favorite places to shoot family portraits! Here are some of my favorites from this session for you.
Oh, by the way – make sure to watch the slideshow!
We started out among the trees with the family dog:
Then moved down to the river. I just love the light here!
She really likes her uncle!
She had so much fun playing peekaboo!
Absolutely adorable!
If you didn’t already, make sure to go check out the slideshow!
]]>Oh! Make sure to watch their slideshow!
Playing with their adorable cats at home:
Walking and playing in the park:
I love this spot in the park!
Some really dirty feet after all our hiking around! Can you guess who had been wearing shoes and socks, and who had been wearing sandals?
You wouldn’t believe how dark it was getting by the time we took these last ones. They had to hold really still for me!
If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss the slideshow!
]]>Here are a few of my favorite images from this session – I’ll share more with you as soon as the family gets to see them all.
Isn’t she just adorable?!!
Still to come are lots more images on the river, and some great ones with the family dog among the trees!
]]>I’m still working on the images – there are a ton of really great ones! Here are a few of my favorites to whet your appetite. I’ll post more of my favorites once the whole family has had a chance to see them all.
What a fun time!
]]>Here are a few of my initial favorites. I’ll post more once they’ve had a chance to see them first.
