Fall Family Portraits: Just look at those leaves!

You just can't go wrong with two adorable chiquitas and gorgeous fall leaves!  I loved this family portrait shoot in North Portland.

    

          

awww, pouty/confused face is just as sweet!

Giving Back: Celebrating Adoptive and Foster Families

I was invited to volunteer at a National Adoption Day  celebration honoring adoptive and foster families this fall and I'm planning to make my participation an annual affair. Organized by the Boys and Girls Aid, kids and families enjoyed clowns, magicians, free medical checkups and a free professional portrait by me!  

Thanks to all the families who trusted me to photograph them.  Your gift of a loving home is immeasurable and strengthens our entire community.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

"Are you guys brother sister?" I asked.  

"Yep, we're twins!" the puppy dog replied with a loving grin and threw his around her.

I don't normally work with a backdrop but really like the way these turned out and will likely use this setup through the winter as the weather keeps us indoors.  

and of course, no amazing free event is complete without lots of cheery and dedicated volunteers!
Thanks for including me in such a great event. :) Sara

Senior Portraits

High school seniors are rewarding to work with and this beauty, Madison, was no exception. 

She was very present, open for anything and eager albeit a tad unsure about her plans for the next few years.  I love photographing people at such an important age, where the world is wide open and some beautiful photos may be just the boost you need to take it all on.

Fall Family Portraits at Irving Park in NE Portland

Sweet brothers are fun to work with. 

Especially when they are as confident, lively and loving as these siblings are.

Check out the great fall portraits we got which I'm sure have made some beautiful holiday cards. :)

Thanks for being so great to work with and happy fall!
