PDX Mommy and Me Photography Session
Jillian reached out to me because she wanted a mommy and me photography session with her son to capture some memories of just them together in the PDX area. Growing up, she didn't have a lot of photos with her mom, so she was really excited to do this.
She also mentioned that her toddler was big on running and she picked me because I seem to specialize in kids who are always on the move.
Challenge accepted.
The session started off with bubbles and ended with bubbles, with lots of chasing, tickling, and cuddling in between.
"These are amazing. I'm literally wiping away tears. Thank you so much!!"
He was trying to eat the bubbles...
See? The chasing. lol. I didn't mind it 😉
I didn't even tell him to do this. He was born a model.
He fell and now mommy is making it all better.
So much laughter! I just love them.
This bubble wand was his favorite. He kept trying to get us wet with bubble liquid and it made him so happy so we just let him do it 😆.
I got to know Jillian at their session and she is really laid-back, just like me! We got along great and I'm so glad she chose me out of all the photographers out there.
Funny Photography Coincidence
I was taking photos at Memaloose State Park in the Columbia River Gorge the day before Jillian's session and I was asked by some hikers (pictured above) to take their photo really quick. So I used my camera and took a few shots for them, and got their e-mail so I could send it later. Then I did Jillian's session, and through Instagram I discovered that these two are friends!! Small world, right?

You did such an excellent job capturing the joy emanating from these two!I especially love the one of him with his arms up, reaching for the bubbles.
I can’t imagine what it’s like photographing small children that are always on the move, so I always admire photographers that capture the happiness and energy in the moment. This is such a magical and precious shoot!
Oh. My. Gawd. These photos are seriously stunning. So funny because a friend of mine asked me to take some photos of their family with small children that would not sit still and I am not a photographer so I was at a loss. It was so diffuclt but you make it look so easy. I am referring my friends to you next time. You have a real talent to capture the energy and I could feel the happiness. xo
Small children are my specialty! The trick is to make everything a game, and to do lots of cuddling and tickling. 😍 Thank you so much!
These mommy and me photos are so beautiful. I especially love the one of the two hugging … such a precious moment.
I love this so much! I’m the photographer in my family, and as such, there are NEVER any pictures of me and my kids together 🙁 It makes me kind of sad. I need a session like this!
Such a cute session! I love that they did a mommy and me on the move. This seems so gorgeous and candid so you really get to feel the memories being made here.
That is such proof that it really IS such a small world!!! All of these photos are so amazing!!! Love the golden hues.
