Birth sessions are my favorite!

Little Anthony had some complications on his way into the world so I didn’t get to see him in the hospital, but stay tuned for his newborn pictures…

The N Family! {Oregon Family Photographer}

It has been quite an adjustment moving back to the states after living in Laos and Thailand! We are finally settled though and I’m going to try and catch up on some sessions.

On our way back from SE Asia we stopped in Oregon to say hi to family and I was able to do a quick shoot for some of our fun friends, the Nerenbergs.

Eli – Savannakhet, Laos

Yo. It’s been a long time. There have been plenty of pictures but not a lot of time. Plus, the internet connection here in Laos is slow and sketchy. Anyway, here are a few pictures I took today of Eli. The background looks white, but it’s actually the yellow west-facing wall of our house.

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.

Beautiful Bangkok Family

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.

Lao Women and Children: Bolikhamsai Province

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.

Lao Medicine Woman: Bolikhamsai Province

At a village not far from the Vietnam border in Bolikhamsai, I met this woman. We were near her house, talking with on of the PRAM students about her newly-built chicken coop. This older lady was squatting a few yards away, chattering and making friendly jokes. I approached her with my camera and she didn’t seem scared, so I took a few initial pictures like this:

After a bit, she said, “What are you taking those pictures for? If it’s for something important, let me go get some pretty clothes on.” So she climbed up the ladder to her one-room 10×10 house-on-stilts and came back down two minutes later dressed like this:

Apparently she is the medicine woman in her village and this is her “doctor uniform” as she called it. She was so playful and funny. After I got a few serious shots, she started doing a little dance.

Then she invited me into her house to see her instruments, one of which was an AK-47. Our group was leaving and I only had time to snap this shot (though I had some burning questions about her “instruments”):

Sunday Drive: Udon Thani

We went on a little Sunday drive a couple miles past our house, heading out of the city. It’s almost time to harvest the rice and the fields are turning from bright green to yellow. It was a beautiful drive (I guess “ride” would be more accurate since we were on a motorcycle).

Evening in Udon Thani

David is in Laos and I am by myself. But tomorrow he is coming back home and we are happy.
