  • 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.

  • Newborn Baby Portrait: Hogue/Fife Family

    Welcome baby Oona Bloom!

    I recently got a Lensbaby Composer Pro and was able to test it out on a family that has a gorgeous brand new baby.  I  love the dream-like quality of the group photo and how sweet they look together.  What I learned though is that f/4 on a Lensbaby is a little blurry if you’re trying to capture a toddler in action!  I had to switch lenses to get some good pics of this (almost) 3-year-old. He was looking my way and smiling non-stop… makes my job super easy!  So many great shots of him in action.  Also can you believe that at just under 3 years old he is already riding a bike?  Also above is a shot of newborn baby Oona, just 2 1/2 weeks old.  So perfect.

      

    It was really fun shooting this family; I have another brand new baby to photograph on Monday!  Makes me realize how BIG Jonah is and how far I’ve come as a mom.  Love love love babies!!!
