… and now we have a sister! – Bend, Oregon

My gosh, it’s been a bit since I’ve posted since I’ve been bouncing all over the place working on various projects, but wanted to toss up a fun session with a repeat client who came up from California now that there’s a new woman in the family… Jadyn and a familiar little man, Jace… who is now, a whole foot taller, I swear! I just love the FUN and LOVE in these images. We definitely like to keep things light and breezy… my favorite thing is hearing my clients laugh when they are here, it’s wonderful. So good to see you guys again, hoping for a repeat soon!

Hi Jen!
I recently started following your blog, and I L O V E your work!
I have a quick question for you…I am a beginning photog that has done mostly outdoor shoots. I have signed up to be a part of a Photo event called Pictures for a Purpose, which is an all day in-studio event with 6 Seattle area photogs where ALL of the $$ goes towards fighting Child Trafficking. My question is, what is the best lens to use for child/family in-studio shoots?? I know I LOVE using my 50mm 1.4 for outdoors, but does that work well for in-studio??
Would love any feedback! Thanks so much!!
Blesings,
Kara

Brand new baby, Stella – Portland, Oregon

I seriously LOVE my job. One of the best parts of it, is when I get clients who become friends… and who come to me year after year with their amazing life milestone moments. Emily and Wen happen to be one of my MOST favorite clients. I adore all of my clients, but these guys are at the top of my list. Emily’s flawless taste and contagious happy spirit makes me smile every single time I get to see her. Just a few weeks ago, they welcomed their second precious bit of yum… Stella. With big sister, Piper, now happily taking the lead big sister role, I ventured up to Portland to photograph them in their wonderful (and colorful!) new home.

Love you guys!

Baby Rowan … deeeee-lish! – Bend, Oregon

This amazing couple was referred to me by my friends and co-workers at Big Folio and who are essentially responsible for wooing and dangling the well-known Bend, Oregon carrot in front of the entire, California grown Big Folio gang in an effort to get them to move here, and voila, they did! Ande and Michelle are awesome and I had a fantastic time shooting their amazing cherub, Rowan, who didn’t let out an unhappy peep once. Nothing but huge smiles here.

Just a few …. more to come soon!

The Furrer Family in Lake Oswego, Oregon

So, a couple times a year, I head up to the Portland area and take advantage of the amazing lush and urban areas Portland offers and shoot my clients that live there. I love cruising up to Portland, spending a few days with friends that live there, hitting the local shopping hot spots, getting my fix of vintage shops, boutiques and swanky eateries while packing my evenings with sessions. It’s a huge shift in landscape from the desert, mountain areas of Central Oregon and it’s an appreciate switch. Portland is gorgeous. I was tickeled to meet the Furrer family, new clients referred to me by other fabulous clients last year who actually ventured over for a session at the infamous Smith Rock area I feature often. What a special family … truly glowing from the inside and absolutely in LOVE with their daughter Grace, who was grinning from ear to ear the entire time. Thanks you guys, I had a great time!
