For my birthday, we decided to take a day off from work and explore the festivities going on downtown. I’m still not sure what the big festival was about but it was definitely worth seeing. The best part for the kids were the rides. I loved all the colors.
When Orawin and Karsten invited me to their home in Bangkok, I didn’t know what to expect. But it was clear after a few moments what a loving, beautiful family they are. He is from Denmark and his parents were in Bangkok visiting, so I had the chance to photograph some extended family. Their little girl was so sweet and fast! She had just learned to walk the day before and I could barely keep up with her. Here are a couple of my favorite shots.
Proponents of Attachment Parenting would be pretty happy in Laos. I saw a lot of babies and they were always riding on their moms, dads or older siblings in a sling/wrap.
So, I’ve never entered any kind of contest before, but in honor of my cousin who battled breast cancer and won, here is my I Heart Faces submission. The person in the photo happens to be my beautiful younger sister and her baby.
I got to do a shoot tonight with a family friend I’ve known since we moved to Oregon when I was five (24 years ago!) It had been many years since we’d seen each other and it was so fun to meet her boys and husband. Here are a couple photographs from the shoot.
This is one of my sweet nieces who came to visit for a week last month.
After I took a few shots of her, she asked if she could take some pictures of me, so I gave her the camera and then my oldest came running over. I love that she got this shot because I’m almost certain an adult never could have coaxed that kind of smile out of Ezra.
Because we are back in Oregon for a bit, I had the opportunity to photograph some good friends and their super cute and chubby little boy. We went to Jackson Frazier Wetlands park in Corvallis and the sun was just setting. I’m posting a few pictures now with more to come soon.
We met this awesome family when we lived in Thailand. It was so fun to get together again and see how their kids have grown.

after receiving instructions not to touch the tractor…(I think this is my favorite picture)
There are quite a few wonderful shots of Baby A. Here is one of baby and mama that I didn’t originally post but love.
I have another newborn session tomorrow so stay tuned for more pictures…
