Tahmures Q. {Columbia Children’s Arboretum, Portland OR}
I was so thrilled to get to photograph fellow photographer Rachel Hadiashar and her little family on a recent fall day. Unfortunately for us, the weather had other ideas. We were originally slated to travel to an apple orchard, but with the iffy forecast, we stuck closer to home, visiting a smaller orchard in the local Arboretum instead. Though misty, the weather held, and we were able to capture some family interaction. Little Tahmures, who could not be cuter with his mop of curls and dimples, is currently in a “Daddy” phase, and stuck close to his Papa, and even got a little surly when his mama came too close. It took a few fall leaves tossed in the air, but he finally came around.

I’ve known Stephanie and Ty for such a long time, and with this session, I may have topped myself for managing to annoy Ty. I like to think its part of my job as their family photographer, because Ty is just such a fun dude to tease. Sand is not his thing. Dirty river water, also not his thing. But, he’s a good if somewhat grumbly sport, and I appreciate him going along with my off the beaten path location ideas.

Levi & Esther {Arbor Lodge, Portland, OR}
I met up with Levi and Esther on a blustery, wet Portland afternoon. We had hoped to get to photograph at a park or other outdoor spot, but the weather did not cooperate, and so instead, these cutie pie’s Mamas welcomed me into their home to shoot. It had been a rough day for both of the kiddos. We just rolled with it and attempted to capture some candid family interaction. Easy enough, this family is brimming with love and sweetness, if not a long attention span. Levi is a constant ball of movement and silliness, though he sat for a long spell while being read to. Ms. Esther was asleep for most of my visit, but with the sweet, sweet baby smiles she gave me in the brief time while awake, I managed to forgive her.
