Your baby’s first birthday is a monumental occasion, and cake smash sessions are such a fun way to document it. This recent outdoor cake smash session in Newberg, Oregon was the perfect mix of simple, meaningful, and just a little bit messy (the best kind 😉). I photograph first birthday sessions throughout Hillsboro, Beaverton, Sherwood, […]

It’s a season full […]

There’s just something about photographing a mama and her baby that always gets me, but this session felt especially close to my heart. I’ve known this sweet friend for years, but it’s motherhood that really brought us together in a deeper way. Our girls are only five months apart, and walking through so many of […]
