I absolutely LOVE being a photographer and capturing all these wonderful moments for families! I had such a wonderful time with this family and couldn't be happier that I was trusted to document their maternity, fresh 48, and newborn sessions. I'll be counting down the days until I have the chance to work with them again!!! For now, here are a few of my favorites from our Newborn Session (I really need to write that maternity post!)
Baby H | Fresh 48 | Four Jays Photography | Portland Oregon
As I'm packing up the car for this little guys newborn shoot I wanted to share a few of my favorites from his in hospital fresh 48 newborn session. I've really enjoyed meeting his parents this year and documenting all the wonderful stages of his sweet little life! Which reminds me, I need to blog their maternity session too, lol. For now, I'll leave you with these beautiful images <3
Baby R | 7 Days New | Four Jays Photography Newborn Session
I feel so incredibly fortunate when I get referrals from people I have never met before. This wonderful family contacted me after their postpartum doula showed them some of my work. I don't know her, or who she is even, but I'm so thankful that she sent these sweet moms my way. Here are a few of my favorites from our session last month!
Baby J | 10 Days New | Four Jays Photography | Newborn
Now that the weather is changing and we are getting into our fall family rhythm I have a chance to start blogging recent sessions! Starting with this little cutie from early August. Mom said he was sleepy, and boy was she right! I had such a great time photography this sweet family! Parents, grandparents, and siblings were over the moon with baby brother, and their love was such a beautiful sight. Here are a few of my favorites from our session together.
Welcome Baby A | Fresh 48 Hospital Session
Summer continues to fly by, but I wanted to share some of the highlights from this sweet welcome hospital session!!! Big sister was absolutely adorable and loved holding her new little brother, at just 12 hours new!
Enjoy!

Once upon a time in the world - July 2016
Wow! The months seem to be flying by quicker and quicker! I was hoping our summer would drag by in an old fashioned way, but unfortunately it's nearly gone in a blink of an eye. We made lots of great memories this month, and some were even at our chosen time of 11:15am.

Baby V | 11 days new
Welcome Baby V | Portland, Oregon | Newborn Photography
I had the recent pleasure of photographing this newborn for an incredibly kind and generous family who have opened up their hearts and home to this sweet little girl in need of temporary guardianship. It was such an honor to be able to capture her newness and the details for her biological or forever family to cherish in the future.
Sander | 10 days new
Newborn Photography | Portland, Oregon
Last month I had the pleasure of photography a family that is near and dear to my heart as they welcomed home their first child, a baby boy. The love within this new family of 3 radiated throughout their home making the session flow beautifully. I am beyond pleased to announce the arrival of Sander, and share a few of my favorite captures from our newborn session together.
Once Upon a Time int eh World - June 8:15pm
It's so hard to believe another month has come and gone already!!! This was a tough one for me since our kids are in bed before the hour started, and they are my most common subjects. One night while I was editing I saw the most beautiful light in our backyard. Checked the clock, and ran and got my camera. It was perfect because the sprinklers had just stopped running too, that could have been an interesting surprise if my timing had been different!
Here is our group collage for the month! Also, be sure to check out my dear friend Kellie's blog at Kellie Brindley Photography, and finish off the rest of the blog circle.
Once Upon a Time in the World - May Blog Circle
Hmmmm...so this is kind of weird, writing my first blog post and all. I actually had it all written out once and lost it, so frustrating. So now I'm writing a condensed version of my first blog post. The story begins several years ago when I started my photography journey. I was lucky enough to make some great friends who share the same passion. Many of them are the very creative types, as opposed to my left brained nature, so it's been a pleasure learning and working with them over the years. This blog circle was started by one of them. Each month, beginning in January, we document the same time all over the world, and share them - with each other and our blog readers. I've been participating all year, but since this is my first blog post, it's my first time to share outside of our group. Perhaps, I'll do a catch up post soon, so you can see the other photos from previous months.
For now, here is May at 4:15pm. I call this the evening, but I guess it could be considered the afternoon for those without a litter of small children, lol. My favorite is a freelensed photo of my oldest reading one of her favorite books outside. I was so thrilled to stumble upon this moment, because it really tells the story of her maturing self. No longer consumed by the kiddie pool and squirt guns like the younger kids. Just wanting a moment to relax, and well, I can completely relate. We also had a visit in our neighborhood by a fire truck, and we found a whole colony (is that the right word?!) of ladybugs without spots!
And here finally, here is our group collage for the month
Thanks for checking out my images, please click to see some of Dawn's from Bean Pod Photography beautiful work and what was going on at 4:15 where she is.
