The Lasselle Family Session/Sherwood, Oregon Photographer

"I came to get down
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around
Jump up, jump up and get down.
Jump"
-'Jump Around'- House of Pain

This session was amazing! Bryony's dear friend allowed us to use her gorgeous property. The lighting was dreamy as is this sweet, young family. My favorite memory from this session was how the boys daddy, Grant, would run and jump over their two year to make him laugh. It totally worked. It is something that he would normally do while playing with him. Lil' man LOVED the water. He was most interested in throwing rocks in the water (aren't most boys?).

Lasselle family, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your delicious family!

Go forth and rock on! 

Sorensen Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary"

-'My Hero', Foo Fighters

When I think of the Sorensen family, the word 'hero' comes to mind. Why? I am so glad you asked. =) Colin and Amy do so much for the Newberg community. Colin is a firefighter and Amy volunteersat the Newberg Animal Shelter (looking to adopt a fur baby? Check them out please http://newberganimals.com/). Giving of yourself to help others is a hero in my eyes. Thank you Colin and Amy for all that you do!

This session was not only a family session but also a milestone session. Mr. P turned one! I think lil man looks so much like his daddy, do you agree? He was so happy and he absolutely was enamored with the bubbles which was fun to watch. I think bubbles are pretty darn cool too! 

What was even better about this session is that Amy gave me two boxes of delicious KIND bars! Yum! The apricot ones are my favorite. 

Thank you Sorensen family for choosing me! Go forth and rock on! 

Khamnohack Family Session/Hillsboro, Oregon Photographer

"To score a ten would be just fine
But I'd rather be dressed to the nines
It's a truth you can't refute
Nothing suits me like a suit
Picture a world where all the girls and boys
Are impeccably well dressed
That delivery guy in the jacket and tie
That puppy in the double-breast
That '80s dude in mutton chops
That baby with a lollipop
That lady cop who's kinda cute"


-'Nothing suits 'em like a suit' from 'How I Met Your Mother"

Seriously, how smooth are the Khamnohacks? Not only do they look smooth but their session went super smooth too! We met at Rood Bridge park in Hillsboro and it was so lovely.

This session was done late September 2015. Yes, I am 3 months behind in blogging. Yikes! In my defense, I did not want to ruin anyone's holiday cards and it was the busy season. But I will be banging them out this winter! With the session is where I learned a new way to get kiddos involved in the session, play catch with the dog toy. Total hit with the wee ones even though my aim is awful!

 

Thank you Khamnohack Family for a fantastic session.Go forth and keep rockin' on! 

The Card Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"You got all of my attention
And you ain't even trying
Yeah, you're my kind of different
And I never seen nothin'

Nothin' like you
Shades on spinning in a summer rain
Dancing when there ain't no music
Just the right kind of crazy, baby
Something about you"

- Dan + Shay, "Nothin' Like You"

A family that dances together....has a blast together.  This early Fall session at Camp Tilikum in Newberg was such a blast. I enjoyed the free flowing movement of the session.  The Card family spent the time of our session enjoying each other, playing and acting silly. Acting silly, in my opinion, makes for great photos, memories. =)

Thank you Card family for choosing me to photograph you! 

Go forth, dance and rock on! 

Beilstein Family-Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Portrait Photographer

"I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun's callin' my name
(I hear ya now)
I just can't stay inside all day
I gotta get out, get me some of those rays

Everybody's smilin', sunshine day
Everybody's laughin', sunshine day
Everybody seems so happy today
It's a sunshine day"

-'Sunshine Day', The Brady Bunch

Did I just quote 'The Brady Bunch'? Oh yeah! Yes, I did. AND while typing this blog, I am listening to the song on YouTube. 

This session made me think of that song. It was a beautiful, sunshine day with a beautiful family (and Llama....or is that an alpaca? hmmm). Although it is currently Christmas Eve Eve, I am reliving this warm, late September day and that wonderful golden light. Guys, I am so behind on blogging my sessions, I am still blogging September sessions! Although this week I may be able to catch up. 

I absolutely love this session. A wonderful mix of portrait and lifestyle/candid. Such a lovely family and lil' models and one of my favorite locations, Camp Tilikum in Newberg. Can't you just feel the love this family has for each other? Gah, and what a gorgeous couple Matt and Kelsey are!! 

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do. 

Thank you Beilstein family for choosing me! Go forth and keep rockin' on! 




The Glynn Family-Family Sessions/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"My favorite...
My favorite...
She's my favorite girl, the one I'm always thinking of, that one.
My favorite girl, the one I love."

-'My Favorite Girl'-NKOTB

I cannot explain how wonderful it feels to me to be chosen as a family's photographer repeatedly. It feels flat out amazing! It's so great to see families again and to know that I did something right. Last winter, I had the pleasure of photographing the Glynn family and I was so honored to be chosen to do their photos this year. 

The Glynn family is super fun to work with and Megan is one of my cheerleaders, she is so sweet and just edifies me. She is the type of person that just makes you feel good and she wants good for you. 

And Miss A, oh my goodness, she is just sweet as can be! Our kiddos go to the same school and when I see her at the school she just beams a giant smile and says 'Hi Ms. Nanci!' And she is smart, she knows what she wants too! She gets into the photo shoot and has her ideas of how to pose. I love it!!! It's so much fun, I love seeing her personality is the photos. 

Oh and Megan also introduced me to Woodsnap.com.  I just received my first woodsnap product last week. It's super cool. Your photos on wood. Get your photos printed, don't just keep them hidden in your computer. =D

Thank you SO much Glynn family for choosing me again to photograph you! 

Go forth and rock on!
