Baby I | In Home Newborn Session | Beaverton Oregon

When this sweet family reached out to me last year, I knew this perfect little girl would be my first newborn session of 2021! And she set the bar high for all of this year’s babies! She gave us the perfect mix of awake baby expressions as well as those dreamy sleepy portraits!

I love making every family’s vision come to life and this session was particularly fun because they were interested in creating newborn composite art (where I photoshop baby into other beautiful settings). Composites are such a wonderful way to add fun and whimsy to an in home newborn session, since there is no limit to what we can dream up and create!

Here are a few of my favorites from our newborn baby session last month!

M Family | Downtown Waterfront Maternity Session | Portland Oregon

As I look back on this maternity session from February, before the coronavirus pandemic, I can’t help but be filled with a longing to see my wonderful clients again. The saying you don’t know what you have until it is gone, rings so true right now. I can’t tell you how much I miss capturing all these incredibly special times for families!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family several times, including this “big boy’s” maternity and newborn session, as well as for his first birthday. When I found out they were expecting again, I couldn’t have been happier for them!!! And as always, this mom knows how to pick a session date! The farmer’s almanac could probably learn a thing or 2 from her! You may not remember, but February was full of rain, and in January, she picked a seemingly random Thursday for our urban outdoor maternity session…I probably commented a dozen times that we may have to be flexible on dates, or consider moving to an in home maternity session if needed. But for the third time in a row, she picks a date that is beyond perfect weather wise!

We had so much fun and were able to capture so many wonderful memories as they get ready to welcome little sister! Here are just a few of my favorites!

R Family | In home maternity session | Portland, Oregon

Every winter when the weather turns, I have several client families that decide against a maternity session based on the weather alone. I mean Portland in known for rain so I can’t blame people for not wanting to have an outdoor maternity session. That said, I ADORE in home maternity sessions!!! The warmth that radiates, that intimate feeling, and all those personal touches in the background <3 They just fill my heart and I can’t get enough.

I was beyond thrilled when this adorable couple shared my vision for a beautiful maternity session from the comfort of their home. Plus, it was super easy to incorporate their pup, another favorite for me!

Here are a few of my favorite images from their SE Portland Maternity Session
