Salem, Oregon Photographer: Fresh 48 | Baby M

in ,

YOU GUYS, I AM SO BAD AT BLOGGING!  Oh man, I am the worst!  I'm going to be working on getting a few posts up from sessions I did back in Jan/Feb, just because there are too many beautiful babies/families for me NOT to share!  Proof:     

Look at that sweet little face cuddled up with Mama <3

SEEEEEE!?  He is just precious!  This was a Fresh 48 Session at the Salem Hospital.  He is the first little one for these two, and he is SO loved.  Here's a few more from our session together:

I think one of my favorite things about Fresh 48 sessions, is the unposed/lifestyle feel to them. I always have a lifestyle/documentary photographer approach when I do portraits.  It is important for me to few traditional poses in, but the photos that tug on my heartstrings are natural interactions between the families I am photographing, and the sweet little details.

These two photos below were a couple of my favorites.  His tiny fingers!  <3  As a Mama myself, that picture below of baby next to the hospital bed is so sweet to me, because it brings back memories.  I can remember that feeling of being in my hospital bed, and looking over at my own precious baby in the bassinet next to me.  THESE are the types of memories that I LOVE preserving for my clients.

Salem, Oregon Photographer: Senior Portraits | Brit

I'm the type of person that literally celebrates everything.  I think that every great milestone in life deserves a little acknowledgment, especially achievements in education.  Getting High School Senior photos done is important, but so is capturing your Senior year of college.  You can use them for graduation announcements, or invitations- or simply to look back on and say " I remember what I have accomplished.  I am so so proud of how far I've come, and where I'm GOING!"   Not to mention..  After ALLL the studying you have done, the sacrifices you have made, and the work you have put towards your degree- you DESERVE a celebration!  

This gorgeous gal is graduating from Western Oregon University, and I was so excited to photograph this time for her!

Brit had mentioned that she needed to order some graduation announcements to send to friends & family, and of course I jumped at the opportunity to create something beautiful, and unique for her!
