HHH Benefit Portraits | Pittsburgh Baby Photographer

In March I had the pleasure of doing a mini session benefit for Hayden’s Helping Hands, a Portland non-profit that helps to pay delivery bills for families who have suffered the stillborn birth of their child. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who came out in support of HHH; your donations mean a lot to families.  Thanks also to the Warehouse Cafe for hosting… what a lovely venue for a photo shoot!

PoBa Baby Clothing Shoot Spring 2012 | Portland Baby Photographer

I shot the spring line of bibdanas with Crystal Misner of PoBa Clothing last weekend.  It was a totally smooth and fun shoot, and I attribute that to the awesome mamas & daddies who accompanied these adorable babies to the studio!  These guys range in age from 6 months to 1 year+ and were all so sweet and happy throughout.

Crystal has seen a lot of success lately with her unique and fun baby accessories, up-cycled clothing, and waterproof picnic blanket lines.  These product shots will be featured in an upcoming partnership she has with fab.com.  Keep your eyes peeled for this deal because you will never get one of these hand-crafted bibdanas for less!

Portrait of Three Generations | Portland Family Photographer

I had a nine-person, multi-generational family join me in the studio over the holidays to capture a portrait of them all together.  Lucky me, got to take pictures of TWO little baby girls, one 5 months and one 6 months old!  They were also joined by a fun and good-natured 5-year-old brother/cousin, plus parents and grandparents.

One of the first shots we got was the one of Colden holding sister Mia and cousin Olivia, a photo that definitely turned out as sweet as I envisioned it… what a good sport to hold two babies at once!  Speaking of good sports, these two little ladies made it through the entire shoot without hardly a peep, such sweethearts, so loved and cherished by their moms & dads, grandma & grandpa!  Also impressive was the level of cheering and coaching these guys gave each other at picture time, lots of giggles and laughs for babies, adults, and photographer.

Post-session, Colden and I started talking iPad apps, and he got me hooked on Cut the Rope, so I am not sure I will have any time in the future to edit photos since I am so addicted to this game now.
