baby portraits in veracruz mexico

i got to spend 3 week this march in the states of oaxaca and veracruz, mexico.  beautiful, kicking, vibrant places to visit and photograph. i've been sifting through and editing my photos as i have time between jobs and am finally getting some final images ready to blog about.  

 toward the end of my stay i was welcomed into the family home of my friend, coca, who i work with in PDX and who was visiting her family during the same week down in the humid port city, veracruz.  i took these portraits of her nieces and nephews as a thank you for their hospitality.  !mil gracias a la familia higa mora!  !que lindos nietos tienen!

fun with the boys

this portrait session was a true play date.  these clients wanted candid "boys being boys" shots and it was great to photograph their kids just having a good time with no smile pressure.  my favorite new toy:  a box of buttons.  seems like something your grandma might have in a drawer?  oh, no.  its for sitting in, scooping up buttons and pouring them out again.  it's refreshing to see kids unplugged and so engaged by the simple things. :)
