Willamette Valley Family Photographer: Birthday Celebrations

I am SO lucky to have this family in my life! They were some of my first clients ever (their emails kept going to spam because they were the first "real" (non-friend) client I ever received, and for some reason they didn't give up on me!)
Fast-forward about five years. Their super-fun family of three has grown into a fantastic foursome. We've laughed together, we've cried together, and my world is more complete because they're in it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you guys!
OK, now that you know how much I love these guys, you can see their photos. :)


Noah, just being the ridiculously patient and kind older brother that he is (pay extra attention to the block flying past his face in photo #3). Last, but not least, Noah is 9! When I first started hanging out with this family, their one request was that I honor past birthday photo traditions and include Noah's age in a photo. Clearly this year's tops all prior years combined, and I take zero credit for Noah's lego 9.

Vintage Rustic Birthday Party with A Bounce House: Riley is 1

What do you get when you combine a bounce house, Five Guys Burgers, a super-cute vintage/rustic/shabby-chic birthday theme, and some really awesome people?!

A really dang good birthday party, that's what you get! Happy 1st Birthday, Riley!

Salem Kid Photographer: Addyson is Two!

This lovely little lady stopped by my studio to let me join in on the birthday festivities. Presents were opened. Cake was eaten. Bubbles were blown. Also, we took some photos. Thanks for a fun morning, Addyson!


Heidi, of Sweet Dreams Cupcakery, makes all of the cakes for my Cake Smash Sessions. She always does an awesome job and the kids (and the parents and photographer) really enjoy them!
