Personal Journey and Adventures of Nina

A lex was energetic to say the least but what a delight! I think once he stopped running (when we occupied him with snails and spiders and waterfalls), we were ok!

The happiest child I have ever photographed! It was difficult for her not to smile! I had to catch her in a pensive moment.

Don't we all have days like this! What a great shoot! Reminding me of the challenges of a two year old. Love it!

Photographing these two gorgeous boys on location in West Linn was a lot of fun! We had blazing sunshine to deal with but we did find a shady spot and kicked some light in with a daylight reflector. The dappled light and soft shadows add to the mood of these shots. The sun gave us the beautiful contrast and vibrant colors which I love.

I just love it when parents instigate a challenge to being a little different to the ordinary. So you can imagine that I was delighted when the mother of this newborn allowed me to photograph her baby in the field!

Yesterday, I photographed this wonderful family in West Linn. I setup my studio in their lounge room which was perfect for a family with a newborn, two year old and a six year old! We were able to manage diaper changes, melt downs and all the challenges of photographing a young family. It went well even though it was tiring, it was worth it!

We had a blast downtown Portland. Spent the morning at various locations with a break for some lunch at Pizzacato on 23rd Street. We got some great shots. Next we will do the portrait session in the studio to make the package complete!
