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.

Seattle Family Photos with Freya, Laila, And Desmond

This photo shoot made my week for a BUNCH of reasons:
*At family photo shoots, my goal is for your session and your photos to reflect love and fun. Call me crazy, but I think this session is about to explode love and fun all over the place.
*I love it when little boys (and little girls too!) let their energy and curiousity run wild. That happened this day.
*I haven't seen this family in years and it was wonderful to get an in-person update!
*Also, this garden estate was gorgeous. My life is better off having seen it. Seriously. It was that good.

Present for Mom: Sibling Photo Session

These siblings! I had to prepare myself a little extra before their session, because I knew my smile muscles would be sore by the end. They are crazy-fun and funny together. 

THANK YOU FOR A FUN DAY!!!!
