Big brother showed up and absolutely stole the show. The way he held Stetson like he had been doing it his whole life stopped me every single time. These two are going to be best friends whether they like it or not. 🤎

Who is ready for kickoff tomorrow?!? We are excited in this house, and I think Stetson's house might be too! 🏈

Leo is going to be the best big brother and this session proved it. The way he pressed his face against that bump like he already knew who was in there. And then that last frame of all three of them at golden hour — pure joy. I photographed this family for their first maternity and newborn session and getting to come back for round two is one of my favorite parts of this job.

Cecilia is almost 3!! I can't believe it 🩷 She's obviously adorable but also so smart! She loves outer space, knows her mom's eyes are blue and dad's are hazel, and remembers that at our 2 year session there was thunder happening outside!

Two boys, two parents, one perfect summer evening in the rose garden. Nobody was posing. Everybody was laughing. That's my favorite kind of session. 🌹

Henry. Also known as Hank. A whole personality in a very small package and those cheeks were absolutely unreal in person. That close up still gets me. 💚

Oregon summer did not miss for Jacquellynn and Dylan. That sunset, that field, that bump. This session had everything and I was there for all of it. 🌿🤍
