Sawyer's 1st Birthday: Salem Toddler Photographer

Can you believe that Dad made that barn!?! It's SO awesome! Totally perfect for a little cowboy's first birthday! I can't believe how much time flies - it seems like it wasn't so long ago that I was taking Sawyer's Newborn Photos and oogling his amazing head of hair. Total bonus - big sister Sophie liked me much more this time around, making me feel WAY cool. I love that this job gives me the opportunity to meet so many sweet and wonderful people. :)

Willamette Valley Family Photographer: Birthday Celebrations

I am SO lucky to have this family in my life! They were some of my first clients ever (their emails kept going to spam because they were the first "real" (non-friend) client I ever received, and for some reason they didn't give up on me!)
Fast-forward about five years. Their super-fun family of three has grown into a fantastic foursome. We've laughed together, we've cried together, and my world is more complete because they're in it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you guys!
OK, now that you know how much I love these guys, you can see their photos. :)


Noah, just being the ridiculously patient and kind older brother that he is (pay extra attention to the block flying past his face in photo #3). Last, but not least, Noah is 9! When I first started hanging out with this family, their one request was that I honor past birthday photo traditions and include Noah's age in a photo. Clearly this year's tops all prior years combined, and I take zero credit for Noah's lego 9.

Salem Baby Photographer: Elsie - 8 months

Yeeeaaaah! I absolutely LOVE it when my newborn clients do Baby Club, because it means I get regular visits and I get to see how quickly baby is growing up. 
This was Elsie's 8-month visit. We had such a good time! She is mostly sitting up on her own now. She's very curious and into checking things out with her hands and mouth. She loves her baby dolls. Her older brother, Teddy, is very sweet with Elsie. He has lots of energy, loves to jump, and loves to check out the trains.
