Ontiveros Family {Hood River, Oregon Family Portraits}

This fun family was in Hood River for a visit with the Grandparents over Spring Break and asked me to take their first family portraits ever! We had a good time visiting Hood River’s Library and the park behind it, as well as a small alleyway in downtown & a local favorite hangout during the summer, Mike’s Ice Cream. It was a little chilly for their session, but we managed to schedule a day with no rain (that turned out to be gorgeous in the afternoon)!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

I just love the one of their 6-year-old daughter showing off her very loose tooth!

Birthday Party Photography {Cottage Grove, Oregon Photographer}

Is there anything cuter than a kid’s birthday party? Well, probably, but for today, we’re going to say NO!:)(Especially considering whose birthday party this post is featuring!)

My daughter, Paige, turned two in January, and I decided to do a Sesame Street themed party for her. I created everything for her party, from the invitations to the cake to the street signs. (I did get decorating help from my parents when they arrived for her party, too!) Below, you’ll see everything that was created for her party, even down to the plastic Sesame Street characters that my mom saved from my 2nd (or 3rd?) birthday cake!

If you want to do everything yourself for your kids’ birthday parties, but you want to be less stressed than I was when preparing for Paige’s party, I would love to come to the party to capture everything about the day for you. From the decorations to the games to the presents, let someone else worry about getting all of those pictures and cross one more thing off your list!

I don’t know what you are going to come up with next year to top this! It was so much fun and you did an amazing job! Yep Paige is a very lucky little girl and we are lucky to have her too ;-) !!

Outdoor Couple Portraits {Cottage Grove, Oregon Photographer}

Last week, I posted some Family Portraits and promised to share a few of the Couple Portraits that I took of the oldest daughter and her husband. I had the honor of being their wedding photographer back in 2009, and it was great to be able to photograph them again and catch up on what’s been going on with them over the last few years. These were taken during their full Family Portrait session at the Village Green Resort & Gardens.

This is one of my favorite families! They are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and they all just love Paige! All of the girls have been in David’s band classes at one time or another, so we have known them for quite a few years now. I have photographed all three girls (two for Senior Portraits, and one Wedding), but this is the first time we have done a full family portrait session. We met at the Village Green Resort & Gardens on Superbowl Sunday morning and took a walk through the gardens on a surprisingly warm winter morning.

Next week, I’ll be posting some couple portraits of the oldest daughter and her husband. It was great to see them again…I haven’t really seen them since taking their wedding photographs in 2009.

Preschool Portraits {Cottage Grove, Oregon Photographer}

This little boy happens to live near me and he came through my Haunted Photo Booth on Halloween. In early December, we did a School Portrait Mini Session with him in my studio.
