Silas Newborn session

We don't normally photograph a lot of newborns, but when my friend Jon and his wife Jenni had there first baby, we wanted to create some beautiful images for them. Silas was 3 and a half weeks early, and at the time of these images was only about 4lbs 10oz.

We photographed this entire session in the couples bedroom, on a Hasselblad 500c, on 4 rolls of film, using Portra 800 for color and Ilford 3200 for the black and white. Photovision prints in Salem, Oregon did the amazing processing and scanning. The entire session was super simple and laid back.

Jon was the best man at my wedding, and I was best man at his, so its a privilege to be able to capture this part of their life 

The Ray Family

Brian, Crystal, Izzi, Soloman and Bethane just might be the most photogenic and sweetest family I've ever met. There's so much talent pouring out of them that I can't even find the words to describe it! I was SO HONORED that they wanted Jeremiah and I to take their Christmas card pictures. We wanted winter wonderland, and I'm pretty sure we found it! Thank you Ray Family for being amazing...and having an amazing blue vintage truck. If it ever goes missing don't look in my garage...

Also HUGE thanks to Cara at Goldfinch Events & Design for styling this wonderfulness. You can see more in 406 Woman Magazine!

I look forward to the meetings and endless text conversations we have with the every-so-wonderful Cara at Goldfinch Events & Design!  This girl is so full of amazing ideas and creative concepts for shoots, and together we dream up fun things to do together every couple of months! This month it was obviously Valentines Day, so we got her hubby and sweet French Bulldog pup, Millie to model for us. They were both such troopers and I'm sure Cara didn't mind being behind the camera this time when she gets to cuddle up to Her Loves!  We're so honored to have this shoot featured in 406 Woman Magazine and Wedding Sparrow!
