Welcome Baby Ian!! Gorgeous and unbelievably behaved, even at 3 weeks! Smiled... slept as if on cue... what else could I ask for? Okay... a cute caterpillar suit made by a friend of mine (Maci). Here is her website so you can order a cute suit too... http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.jeansnbean.etsy.com Anyway, Baby Ian was a pleasure to photograph. The rest of his family is quite charming as well... as you can see, big sister Ellie has eyes to amaze. Yes, they are sooo blue!
May God bless you Ian with strength, character, safety and lots of love (a shoe in). :)

Professional Photographer, Central Oregon, Children and Family Photographer
A beautiful setting, a fun family, little girls with amazing blue eyes, wonderful light... who could ask for more? Well, we couldn't. Erik and I set out with a friend to do some video (clip coming soon) and a super happy, relaxed family to do some non-traditional portraits. The little girls are soooo cute! I love the end where the youngest gives her mommy her flower collection. Sweet! And, I love how the sunspots are dappled on the images, you can see how amazing it was outside.
Mike and Debby and girls- thank you for coming with us and grinning through the mosquitoes- you are troopers! Next time, I'll bring a six pack of bug spray! :)

Congratulations Ed and Malia!
The happy couple is beautiful and so in love...Their smiles lit up the room and were as bright as the beautiful sunset that graced us all in the evening. They were surrounded by fun friends and family-- did we say fun? We had a blast with our cameras catching it all... flagging down a cool car to pose by, rockin' the house with the dancing to the bridesmaids jumping in the pool! What fun! We know we should narrow down our choices to show off- but how? Look at sweet Grandma and Grandpa looking on during the ceremony (just celebrated their anniversary as well of a long life together), the way the bride and groom are looking at eachother, can you stand it? Makes me want to sing love songs as I run with my camera to capture it!
Ed and Malia, may God give you his peace, joy and blessing on your new life together.
All the best, Natalie and Erik.

A new baby boy on the way! We got some great photographs of baby in his happy place and his family. His big sister is precious! Big brown eyes, serious expressions... and then a great big smile! Of course, his mama is beautiful as well-- she looked fabulous and was very photogenic (I know she'll disagree, but believe me, her husband will agree with me!)... Speaking of, I LOVE how very in love they are. It was obvious to me that they are head over heels for each other. What a blessing to have such a marriage.
Thank you for a great session and may God bless you and your new little addition! Can't wait to see the little man soon!

I had the opportunity to photograph this wonderful family and had such a great time with them and my camera. Their little guy was only a week old in these portraits and he was quite the model. You'll notice that he is smiling in some of the images, I love that! He was awake the entire session and did not cry or make a sound except to let his mommy know he needed a small snack 3/4 of the way through. I stand amazed! Of course, his big sister was also a charmer and I couldn't believe how she was able to genuinely smile on demand. Most 2 year olds do NOT have that capability!
Anyway, I truly had fun and was blessed to see such a happy, calm, growing family... that is not something you see everyday.

This session left a smile on my face! I met Michelle, a mommy - soon to be of 2 - and her sweet little 2 year old. Her little girl was very unsure of me and my camera at the beginning of the session, but once I mentioned "candy" became the camera's best friend! The difference was astounding. I don't think I will leave home without my arsenal of goodies again, and if I do I will sorely miss what could have been... I LOVE the shot at the end when the little girl is doing her happy dance back to the car. With 2 kids of my own this brings back memories of their little antics! I just love it!
In July, look for more of this little family once the new little one has arrived... I can't wait!
