Zane Turns One {portland family photographer}

A year ago I got to photograph Zane at five days old, and a couple of weeks I got to see him again, and today he is a walking toddler with amazing baby blue eyes.  Happy Birthday, Zane!

Much love and appreciation to my friend Lisa,

her husband J.J. and big boy Zane.

Welcome Baby Jace! {portland newborn photographer}

I stopped in Eugene a few days ago to shoot our new little friend Jace.  

A perfectly gorgeous, big boy who sleeps so well.  :-)

Can't wait for our next shoot.

At least we got this precious shot.

Congratulations Kristi and Jimmy!

Welcome Baby Easton {portland newborn photographer}

Easton is here!  He's as charming as his big brother, so smiley even at one week old.  

Much love and appreciation to his parents as they begin their journey as a fabulous family of four.

Keeping up with the Jones' {portland maternity photography}

We are still keeping up with the Jones's!  And they are about to become a family of four.  You might remember my first maternity session with Shana not quite two years ago.  Out came Memphis a couple of weeks later and we captured him as a newborn...  Then again, an adorable family session at six months old, and a fun, fabulous session when Memphis turned the big ONE.  I can't wait to meet Memphis' little brother!  Stay tuned!

Sneak Peek: The Davis Family {portland family photographer}

The Davis Family was given a Mini-Session gift certificate by a special friend, and what great timing as their baby boy, only a few months old is growing by the minute.  They were all troopers in the cold fog – made for a fabulous winter session.  Thank you Davis family!

Christmas Eve Family Session { Portland Family Photographer }

"Long after our work here on earth is done,

our children's children will gaze into our images and see

a reflection of their life, their history, and of loved ones long gone.

In each portrait we create together, there will be a story,

a moment stopped, captured and documented, in the press of a shutter.

Although only a single moment in time, within the image,

there is a lifetime of love, hope and joy."

When my friend Tammy found out that her mother and sister's family were flying into Oregon for the holidays, she made the brilliant decision of contacting me to arrange a family session while the gang was all together.  ;-)  It was one of the best sessions of the year - beautiful day, fantastic location and fun family!

Jeannie, Sharon, Tammy (and hubbies and kiddos):

Thank you for making my final 2011 session one of the very best (ever!)

You've got a fabulous family, and a great bunch of kids!

Have a wonderful 2012.

Much love and appreciation,

Didi
