Salem Oregon Family Photographer - Newborn Asha

You may recognize these parents, as they’re long-time clients of mine. I also posted some of their gorgeous maternity photos recently, which you can see HERE and HERE. In those posts, I explained that Anna found out during her pregnancy that her cancer had returned, hence the chemotherapy while pregnant.

I met baby Asha at my studio in 2022, when we captured these precious photos. Ken brought one of his guitars and played some beautiful music for his little girl, who obviously loves it (look at that smile!).

How cute are these two (three, if you count the bus)?! Porshe is a longtime client-turned-friend and it has been such an honor, watching her family grow. Mo’orea (8 months old here) is her third baby and she is just as sweet as can be!

Vancouver Washington Family Photographer - casual in-home family session

I met Jeremy & Sade a few years ago, when I photographed their beautiful vineyard wedding. They are very laid back (the perfect personalities to be caring for a toddler) and so easy to work with. I photographed baby Aaron when he was about 6 months old and boy was he a cutie! We scheduled his next session for 12 months, but thanks to a baby cold, we postponed a few months. It actually worked out perfectly, as Jeremy and Sade were able to close on and move into their new home in those three months!

I couldn’t believe how much he had changed between 6 and 15 months! He looked like a completely different person! In addition to him growing, his hair changed a lot too! He want from short, black hair to much longer, light brown, curly hair! He was also MUCH more active, so doing an in-home session was perfect! Plus, I got to see their beautiful new house!

Side note: Aaron will be a big brother very soon! I believe his Mama is due next month and I can’t wait to see their new little one! They obviously make adorable little humans1

I think it’s safe to say that if we had not been in the middle of a pandemic, I would have squeezed this little guy’s cheeks! I mean, look at him! I had the privilege of photographing baby Aaron’s parents’ wedding a couple of years ago, so getting to see them again AND meet their baby was AWESOME!

Salem Oregon Family Photographer - Baby Clayton

I was scheduled to photograph Monica and Khyler’s wedding in April of 2020, but due to the pandemic, they eloped in their backyard during a family BBQ, with plans to have their big celebration when things opened back up. Well, fast forward a few months and surprise, things still weren’t open, but they were expecting! Eventually they decided to skip the big wedding and just settle in to their new home and family life. A few weeks after little Clayton was born, I paid their family a visit for an at-home family session! Monica’s teenaged son was also kind enough to bless us with his presence for a full family photo. I mean, he DID get to “skip” class for a few minutes (online learning was quite convenient for this day!). Anyway, we’re planning another family session this fall and I can’t wait to see how big the little dude will be!
