Family Session ~Oregon Family Photographer~

I had lots of fun with Erika and her kidlets last Friday...it's always fun when I get to bring my own kids along and since they are friends they got to come along. They loved to run around and explore the field while we were taking pictures.
Erika is such a sweet mom, person and friend. She is the type of person who makes you think "her life is perfect!" but I think what makes her so sweet is that she would be the first one to tell you she isn't! It isn't any wonder that her kids are just as sweet as she is. This photo session was a father's day surprise for her husband (who was out of the country on a mission trip to Uganda). I just love this family and I really enjoyed shooting them! (I just love saying that!)

The G Family

Brr....it was cold when we took these pictures! Though the snow had melted, I had thought that it would make a great Christmas card picture if there was a little snow. Oh well, I think we got some cute ones!

11 Grandchildren

On Saturday I met with a family to take an annual shot of the grandkids. There are 11 of them ranging in ages from 16 down to 2 years old. It was pretty challenging to get them all looking at the camera at the same time. But I think we got a few good shots. The youngest of them all was having a hard time being in the pictures, but mom and dad would plop her down, run out of the frame and we would snap a few pictures (while she was crying) before she ran off. :) Even crying, she was an adorable little girl.

I have not gone through the entire lot yet, but here are 2 images I have found so far....this family is blessed with good looks!

The Principal's Office

I have always remembered how to spell principal (vs. principle) because the principal is your "pal". :) I recently took family pictures of the principals family. Pam and I work together on the leadership team for the mom's group that I attend and her husband is the principal for a local school.
Their kids were so sweet and ready to pose for pictures. Their littlest one wanted to see the picture after we took each one...he is just too cute!

Sweet "P" Family

Some of my good friends let me take some family portraits this weekend. Their daughter is so funny. She has the biggest, brownest eyes and is absolutely adorable. I don't feel like I know her all that well, she is only 1 afterall. But take a look at these pictures and I think her personality is captured here. (Beth, tell me if I am wrong...)

I absolutely love how the picture in front of the holly (above) turned out so "Christmas'y'"

Just click on the pictures to see them big.

The one above just absolutely cracks me up. This is what I know of Miss E. Always on the go....her arms are flapping away in excitment!

I love playing with color tones, but can never quite decide which I like the most. The top picture is straight out of the camera color, and the picture below I adjusted using an action called "Creamy Toffee Latte". It makes the colors warmer and adds a softness to the picture.

I said they were going to be hard!

I am just now finishing up with my friend Erin's pictures. I had to interupt her pictures to work on a family session. (Which I just finished up!) I knew her pictures were going to be hard. But yet, in a way they were really easy. Just hard to decide which pictures to keep and which to throw out. So, here are a few more of my final favorites.

I couldn't decide which collage I liked better, so I put them both on. And...this is exactly how I know Erin. Always laughing and full of fun! I love that!

The picture below is one of my favorites...minus the shadow from a branch. I didn't notice that til I got home! Oh well...

I got some more pictures finished and wanted to post a few more for you. Again, I had a good time with your family. Sorry I left my tripod there! Oops!
