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!

Laura came in for her 6 month update–we are doing a series of maternity portraits, with two more scheduled at 7 and 8 months.  Look here for the photos from her 5 month session.  I am working on a composite series, which I will be offering to all my clients starting this summer!  While she was in getting the 6-month pic for the composite, we took some more photos of her dancing, and I thought these two were strikingly similar… with one growing exception of course!

Baby Hank is due in a few short months, can’t wait for the next round of maternity pics… and of course his newborn photos in June!

Ali came to the studio at about 7 1/2 months, and she is ready for the arrival of her little lady in March!  Her new addition will join big brother Grady, who I photographed in November at Sellwood park.  He is such a cutie and reminds me so much of Jonah!

Ali let me try a couple new things in the studio, including using the XL softbox as a backlight.  I LOVE how these silhouettes turned out and intend to have this be a standard shot for all future maternity sessions.

Best of luck to Ali & family!
