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!

This little sweetie came to me at 4 weeks of age, a little older than most newborns that I see but just as beautiful and sweet as can be!  We got some lovely shots of her gorgeous little face, and she even let us adorn her with a few cutesy girly things.  I really enjoyed meeting Brooklyn’s mom and relating about the extreme challenges and extreme joys of having a new baby and remembering when Jonah was 4 weeks old.  What a crazy time that was… I had no idea what I was doing!

For this in-studio shoot, I was able to use my new Canon L series 100 mm macro lens to get some close-ups of her face and feet, and that thing is amaaaaazing.  So perfect for getting dreamy captures of a perfect newborn face!  I was on the fence between that and an 85 mm portrait lens, and I think I made the right choice.  Next lens on the wish list is a wider angle (35 mm 1.4?) for creative outdoor family portraits.

First Outdoor Shoot of 2012 | Portland Family Photographer

We picked a lovely day for an outdoor shoot at Laurelhurst Park! It was a little chilly, but family portraits done outdoors are always more fun and colorful if the weather allows for it.  3-year-old Orla and baby cutie pie Kieran were great through the whole shoot, and I think Orla is my new best friend, tons of fun.  Here are a few of my favorites from this photo session:

If I could have a photo of my own family just like that bottom-left one I could die happy.  Such a cute family!
