I live in Pittsburgh, the Castillos live in Sacramento, this session took place in Portland.  What??  I know, confusing.

It was a thrill to meet Rose, who was still a baby in my mind but is actually three! She reminded me SO much of Mimi (minus the diva attitude… I’m talking to you Mimi!) and I was wishing they would run around together in butterfly wings.  Not on this trip, but soon I hope!

Mama Stephanie is a highly educated and experienced pre-k special ed teacher (that is how we met, back in the early 00s in Cali!), so during this session she taught me many things about producing smiles and making a session fun.  There was a lot of talk of fairy dust and I felt like we were on an adventure the entire time.

The rest of this session is in this video, but there are three images in the video that I hadn’t retouched out some dirt on Rose’s leggings yet–can you spot them??  Special prize if you win.

Newborn baby girl Anna Rose is getting used to cuddles from her dog siblings, Dinger & Dale.  I always get some baby & dog pics during a lifestyle newborn session, but they don’t all cuddle up right next to baby with such little prompting!  What sweethearts!

I like how this photo of the family hands calls attention to their newborn baby’s tiny size–she will not be this little for very long!

I love a baby girl on a pink blanket!  So timeless and sweet.

Summer babies get an outdoor portrait too, and look at these sweet pups waiting in the doorway.

Outdoor family session season is officially here! I have done a number of outdoor sessions already, despite the unpredictable spring weather in Pittsburgh!  One day it’s 88 degrees, and the next it’s a low of 38.  We had a perfect, beautiful day for this family session at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden in Oakdale, PA with these two adorable brothers!

The Botanic Garden is a lovely place to take kids–it’s an easy nature walk with lots of cool features–a lake, bridges, a huge dinosaur egg nest, and a few other surprises.

These two guys captured my heart by treating me like an old friend, holding my hand, and they were very sweet and kind to each other.  Older brother Jaden has a condition called 22Q, which is quite rare and can present many challenges, but he is obviously thriving with mom’s advocacy and the many world-class therapies and medical professionals available to kids in Pittsburgh.  This mama is going to be well cared for in old age by her two handsome and polite little men!!
