Adorable Hudson is one of my longest and dearest friend's 2nd baby boy.  Her first son was born when she was living in Hong Kong and I met him when he was about a year old.  I was so excited to learn her family of 3 was moving back to Oregon. And then even more excited when she told me they were expecting another baby. They made the trip down from Portland, so Hudson was quite awake for part of his session.  He is just so cute with such expressive eyes!  Enjoy!

I loved meeting this sweet family and capturing some of their last moments as a family of three :)  Little sister should be arriving any day now and I can't wait to meet her in the studio for her newborn session.  I think she is going to have one very excited big brother on her hands!  Enjoy!

Sweet little Owen was just the perfect eskimo baby for me ;)  His family survived in the Great Eugene Ice Storm 2016 with no power for 6 days!  I also was without power for 8 days and I was quite stressed about having power to do sessions during that time!  Thankfully, I was able to use my small generator for ordering sessions, and photo sessions were able to be pushed until our power was restored.  Enjoy Mr. Owen's sweet face and stay warm out there!

I have so enjoyed this past year and watching this sweet girl grow!  She has so much personality and amazing facial expressions.  She is so loved by her mom and dad!  She wasn't too sure about the sweetness of the cake, but she was a great sport and had fun with the cake smash!  Mostly playing with my confetti ;)  Enjoy!

This session was so much fun!  Valeriia and her hubby met at Tango club and both love dancing.  So we did some fun Tango during the session.  Her dresses are gorgeous, as is she, and I love how she looked in my white dress as well :)  Enjoy!

I absolutely loved the lace robe that Cassi brought to her maternity session.  So I went and found one like it so I can have my own for the studio :)  Yay!  I'm so excited to meet their little one that will be arriving very soon.  Enjoy!

Sweet Nikalina has such a wonderful family and I am so happy that I got to meet them all!  And I'm looking forward to the next year because her parents booked a one year package so I get to watch this sweet little girl grow!  Enjoy :)
