late autumn love at peninsula park

portrait sessions at peninsula park are one of my favorite things in the world.  this gem of a city park is near and dear to my heart, and has so many gorgeous areas to shoot in.  then throw in a loving, stylish family with absolutely adorable two year old twins, and i am in photography heaven!

one last time at laurelhust

i have been photographing this sweet family over the past few years, and have truly enjoyed watching them grow.  portland's laurelhust park has been their location of choice, and before they relocated to california this fall, they wanted one last portrait session surrounded by oregon greenery.

 

miles and maguire celebrate one!

miles and maguire are pals.  they play together most days, and their moms are close friends, too.  together they had the sweetest little one year old birthday party on a sunny summer day at sellwood park.  friends and family came from near and far to celebrate these two very loved little people, and i had the pleasure of documenting it all.
happy birthday, miles!  happy birthday, maguire!

 

 

a family of three at the rose garden

i met this sweet family of three on a cool summer morning not long ago.  we explored north portland's peninsula park rose garden with baby emmit as our guide.

what a joy this little guy was to photograph, and his parents were great, too!
