Josie Avalon, 3 1/2 months
This little lady is just as sweet as can be! Born May 25th, she is turning 4 months soon. Lots of baby talk, huge smiles, and curious eye contact.
I love her so much! And not just because she’s my niece 🙂
Have you made your baby book yet?
Shortly after my baby was born, I saw this beautiful Nikki McClure “baby’s first year” journal at Powell’s. It had pages and pages where mom is meant to fill in details of baby’s birth and infancy and add photos and keep a journal of all the new & exciting things baby is doing throughout the first year. I loved the style of the book and thought about buying it, but I realistically admitted to myself that I was not likely to take time out during those crazy early infant days to fill it out. I am, however, reliable about taking photos and videos, which I intend to compile and organize as Jonah nears his first birthday. Here is the front/back cover and one of the inside spreads of the custom book I am making for him:
The end result is a press-printed and bound 12″ square book with lots of adorable photos of my little munchkin for us to keep forever.
Want a photo book for your own little one? Let me make it for you! Book a baby, family, or birthday session (cake smash pics!) with me and get a book designed for you at a special price. So much easier than sorting through all your pics… or even worse, never getting around to it!
PoBa Clothing Shoot | Portland Baby Photographer
Are you ready for some major cuteness? I collaborated with Crystal Misner of PoBa Clothing (short for Portland Baby!) to do a clothing shoot for her new line of unique handmade baby clothes. We headed out to Laurelhurst Park with a gaggle of babies and did the shoot last week. Special thanks to the moms for helping me wrangle the babies and get them all looking in the same direction for some of the group photos! Can you even handle these sweet little faces??
LOVE the prints. Some of the fabrics Crystal uses are vintage, nice. Two of the items she needed photographed for her line sheet and look book are baby clothes that have been repurposed from menswear: little girls’ dresses and boys’ pants. Look closely at some of the pants and you can see the original cuffs! My own little Jonah was one of the baby models, and I think that was my favorite clothing item on him 🙂 Crystal also makes retro-style cord pants with matching “bibdannas.” Jonah has one of the bibdannas and it is by far the cutest accessory he owns. I like to style it like a little baby ascot (that doubles as a drool catcher) and am looking forward to cooler weather so I can put it under a cardigan for that baby “nerd chic” look. The bibdannas are very affordable and are for sale on the PoBa site.
