This was just a sweet little family session. It's always fun to work in some dandelion flowers and blow the wishes to bring smiles. And we can't forget about all the other treasures we can find outside, like dried leaves. Plus, snuggles with mom are always a win!

Capturing memories should happen in all chapters of everyone's lives, from young to old. I just loved this session. It was so beautiful and I loved capturing these tender moments. We stayed close to the parking lot to make things easier, and you can't even tell that we weren't deep in the woods along a path.
Everyone remembers the family photos, but what about all the girls of three generations photo shoot?!?! It was a gorgeous October day for their mini fall session out in Salem, Oregon with early fall color. It was a short and sweet session and there were so many great memories captured that it was hard for me to narrow it down to just a couple for this sneak peek.
Some of my favorite photography sessions is when we go for a walk and have fun taking photos along the way. And that's exactly what happened for this family and senior session. This family of three drove from Happy Valley down to Salem to meet me at Minto Brown Island Park on a Saturday evening and we had the best time laughing at jokes, goofing off, and exploring some trails. I really do think telling my (horribly funny) dad jokes and just chatting can really bring out genuine smiles, and of course having fun along the way might help a little bit, too.
I hope you enjoy this family photo session, celebrating their high school senior before she moves to Arizona to attend college. It's always a great idea to take family photos before anyone moves away for school, even if they will be home in the summers. I love sessions with horses. I love sessions with dogs. I love sessions with newborns. This family session had everything that I love! There's always challenges to some degree, be it the weather or lack of naps, I just always go with the flow. The first photo is one that I stitched together from two images to create one family photo of everyone (mostly) looking. When I need to, I will do some face swapping to really create a great photo. But some of the best photos are the ones where no one is looking at the camera, instead, they are looking at each other, laughing, and making memories. I really pride myself in helping my clients prepare for their sessions. I made sure to share with them all of the posts I've created about preparing for a dog, horse, and newborn sessions.
I hope you enjoy seeing the sneak peek from this session. Little Charlotte was exactly one week old and her big sister was two and a half. It was my pleasure to capture this sweet family! I just thought that this photo session of a daughter and her mother was so special. Their hugs and hand holding was so cute. When there's two people, I really like to have them interact with each other and see what happens while I'm taking photos. And sometimes when children don't want to look at the camera, bring a toy along that they love for the photographer to hold really helps get their attention for those "look at the camera and smile" photos.
