Pint-sized beauty Madeleine has been taking ballet lessons and loves her jewels!

I had the pleasure of joining the Buschman family at their lovely home in the Mission Hills area of Mt. Lebanon.  After months of rain and snow, we REALLY lucked out and got this beautiful, sunny spring morning.

 


I LOVE the mother/daughter portrait. The stars aligned on this day with the perfect morning light and happiest child!  Feels great to be shooting again… thanks Buschmans for having me in your home!

Daddy Love | Portland Baby Photographer

There is something so special about dads & babies.  I took both of these portraits on the same day… different locations and families, but a very similar, sweet sentiment.

There’s nothing like daddy/baby love!

This little sweetie was born in October to join her big sister A, who I photographed as a newborn two years ago! We shot the baby’s lifestyle newborn portrait at her family’s gorgeous Shadyside home, which is a delightful modern and open style and is a “green home,” which I think is unique & interesting and reminds me of the six years I spent in Portland, OR.

This sweet toddler is bilingual (English/German), but her laughs and smiles send a universal message of glee! What a fun and happy little girl.  We spent the first few minutes playing outside because it was a beautiful day and baby needed a little extra time to get ready.

Again A’s beautiful smile steals the show–she is such a lovely and bright little girl and so sweet to her new baby sister.  I like the family portraits on the bed, this is a great way to easily incorporate a toddler and a newborn in a family photograph.

The blue outfit was dad’s pick and was her outfit for coming home from the hospital after she was born.  The white booties are another homemade family item.  In the background of some of these photos you can se big sister A hiding behind the curtain! One of my favorite parts of a lifestyle newborn session is capturing these unstaged moments!
