My beautiful cousin and her cute son...

I got to take pictures of my baby cousin last week. I can't believe that her son is 12! Isn't he just adorable?

It was good to see her and so fun to take some portraits of the two of them.

Ethan has totally grown up and I can't believe he is 12! Seriously Rachel, when did that happen?

Anyway, they were both perfect models for me and gave me some gorgeous shots! I love all of them so far and can't wait to keep editing some more!

5 Month Old Cutie Pie & Company

Spent some time with this cutie and his aunts last week. We got some awesome pictures with a great urban feel that I just love! I am having a LOT of fun editing these!

Busy, busy, busy.....

Wow, I am behind. I always hate to be behind..... :) But its a good feeling to get caught up. *At least I think it will be!* I am only one session behind now and its just 1 week old, so I am feeling pretty good.
Our family has been helping our friends get ready to move to Brazil. Its a weird feeling, knowing that helping them is getting them closer to leaving us! Its a good thing, yet sad too. Their family of 5 (soon to be 6!) has become important to my family of 5. Each of my kids has a close friend in their kids. Its going to be hard to let them go, even though we know they are doing what God has called them to!
Okay, enough about that for now...too sad! :) I wanted to post a few more pictures of Meg and her boys from last week. They are all so sweet. Megan is a nursing student, well not anymore, she is graduating!! Congrats!! I loved getting the chance to spend some time with her and her boys. We met in downtown Albany. I love the urban settings! They were fun to shoot and we got some great pictures too!

What a Studious Girl

This sweetie and her mama met me at the Library last week and we had so much fun. What a fun location to shoot at. Books, books and more books...and that could not have made this little girl much happier!

Classic Beauty

Chelsea is a girl that is just classic. Her looks, and smirks and movements...everything about her just screams beauty and grace. All of her images are amazing...

Marco Class of 2010 ~Albany Senior Portrait Photographer~ Urban Photography

I enjoyed shooting with Marco and his mom last week. Marco plays football for SAHS, so we had to work his session in between practices. He is a really cute kid and we got some great shots. I have not had a chance to start editing his session yet, but I pulled out a couple of images that stood out to me when I was viewing them. We'll have more images to come!

Go Rebels!

Family Session ~Oregon Family Photographer~

I am finishing up the edits on last weeks family session...and gearing up to start editing a great senior session I had earlier this week.

One Last Post for Kiara ~Senior Portrait Photographer~

As I was finishing up the editing process on these images today, I found a few more "favorites" and really wanted to post them! Thanks again Kiara for making this session so much fun. You were so easy to shoot and a blast to hang out with. I'll have your disc in the mail tomorrow!!

I love the urban feel that these both have!

~Bruton Family~ Western Oregon Photographer

Before we started with Kiara's senior portraits we had a chance to get some family shots. These guys were really fun to shoot. Dad does some of his own photography, so I must admit that I was a bit nervous once I heard that. Hope you enjoy these family shots. I am nearing the end of the editing process and hope to get your disc in the mail in the next few days.

Sisters...sisters...there were never such devoted sisters.

These sweet girls made me want to be part of their family. They love each other and have so much fun together. I appreciate families that get along so well and it makes me thankful for my sweet sisters too!

I am playing around with some textures on this next image...not sure how pleased I am. I love the shot, but can't decide if I like how grainy the textures make it look. Guess I will keep playing! :)

~Kiara Class of 2010~ Oregon Senior Portrait Photographer

Oh my goodness!! I had so much fun last night with Kiara and her sisters. (she had her own personal assistants to make sure she looked good...though that wasn't hard to do since she is so stinkin' adorable! I don't think I got one bad shot!) They were a blast to hang out with! Kiara is so fun and spirited...as you'll see from some of these images.

And just to show off her great personality....
