Old Friends

Ken and I have been friends since about the 7th grade. He has been like a brother to me for, well, a LONG time. When he met Sarah I was ecstatic – she is fantastic. And, when he called to tell me that there was a bun in the oven, I was even more excited. The only sad thing is that they no longer live in the midwest, but in Portland. I really cherish those last minute calls around the holidays where we can share a bit of chaos. This year they wanted to get some shots of the family in and I am so glad Mike was able to do it!  I love how these turned out. Such a fun session with such amazing people. 

I love this! Emma was soooo fast. 

Ahhhhh!  Giant baby!  :o)

This series cracks me up! Ken hasn't changed a bit!  He has been making these faces forever and it just cracks me up to see these.

Ken and Sarah,  you guys are amazing and we feel so blessed to have you in our lives. I just wish you were closer! Hopefully we will get to see you guys this summer. 

Here are some more images in a slideshow.

A Very Special Portrait Session

Mike had the unique privilege of creating some very special images for a new family on the day that they adopted their foster daughter. On the afternoon after the adoption was official, Mike was able to spend a couple of hours at their home. In that time, it was very obvious what a close family they had become. It is times like these where we not only cherish how special family is, but how our jobs as photographers have allowed us into so many wonderful lives.

We have been very blessed this year and we wish everyone a wonderful holiday season.

Julia

It is always fun to see old clients. Julia has grown so much since the last time that Mike photographed her. Now she has a full head of hair and a super huge smile that will melt your heart.

I love this image of Julia and her brother. I think it speaks volumes.

By far, my favorite shot of the day.

Here is a fun slideshow!
