If you’ve ever inquired about my sessions, you’ll know that I keep things simple and only offer three collections – all with full resolution digital images as well as 5×7 prints. My top two collections, however, feature this fabulous image box. Its large enough to hold 100 5×7 prints so that you may add to it over time. I custom design the cover to show your favorite photos from your session. I even send an optional clear CD hub that you may adhere to the inside cover should you want to keep your session disk with your image box.

You will love it!

Here is the cover

It is such a beautiful image box

The corners are wrapped with such perfection.

This ribbon lays underneath your prints so they may be lifted out easily.

Sit back. Relax.

You’re going to need a few minutes to pick your jaw up off the floor after looking at these photos. They are insanely gorgeous. If you can believe it, this stunning mama is 35 weeks pregnant with TWINS! And pretty darn HOT I might add. Just a few days after our session, she had an OB appointment and measured 44 weeks! I’ve been staring at these photos for a week and I still can’t get over them.

Just had to add – I used window light only on a very dark and stormy Oregon winter day. Reason #57 why I love my D700. ISO 1600-3200. Yeah baby!

Can you imagine being pregnant with twins and having a belly this perfect? She didn’t have one stretch mark. Not one!

I had a great session yesterday with this beautiful family. I was a little worried about being able to get them a ton of great shots to choose from because their little ones are both tough ages to photograph – 5 weeks and 2.5 years – but they were great. Besides, how is it possible to get a bad photograph with such gorgeous children? I really put my new camera body to the test with the dark rainy dreary Oregon light coming through the windows, but it handled beautifully. No flash required!

Here’s a quick preview… off to go edit the rest! Congratulations on your little princess!

She has the most inquisitive eyes and LOVES the big windows in their home.

This started off by us wanted to get a family photo of them all together on the bed, which we did get, but I couldn’t pass up how adorable this little man was while mom, dad and his little sister snuggled up in the background.

She is so teeny tiny. I love it.

Have you ever seen such big beautiful eyes on such a little baby? So precious.

These make me smile.

The family has this same photo taken in front of their front door from last year. How sweet will it be to put this photo in a frame right next to it showing off their newest addition.

And of course I adore the macro shots. I think the hand is my new favorite photo. I can’t look at it without saying “aaahhhhhhhh”.

My favorite girl is 3 years old and she gets more perfect with every passing day.

We had a great session yesterday in the Pearl District. This little man is so stinkin’ cute and he has such a big personality. Only 10 months old and he was talking non-stop. Baby talk, of course, but still nonetheless. Within seconds it was apparent that his parents are simply over the moon for this little guy and he absolutely adores Mom and Dad. Here’s a preview…

My favorite shot of the family. I wish I could take credit for the set up but it was the idea of the beautiful Mommy you see standing in the photo. They just love living down there.
