Happy day after Birthday Zeek

I'm head over heels for this little guy, he's adorable for one and has the cutest little personality (or should I say big) and is rather smart for his two-year-and-a-day age. Happy late Birthday Zeeky, Auntie Ashley LOOOOOOOVES you!

How can such a cute little man look so tough at the same time? Model pose!

Adorable!

Aaron Rojas - Salem, OR Senior Portraits

Some quick previews from last weekend's shoot with Aaron. Such a great kid!

Sofia Ella Grace - Salem, OR Newborn Photographer

OK, I can't hardly stand this! Last week I had the privilege to spend some time with my little niece Sofia and take a few photographs of her. She's just about two weeks old in these and as luscious as ever! I'm going to do another session with her in a few weeks and will be sure to keep posting my favorites. She, by the way, is Carli Bittner's (my sister) daughter. I did Carli's Maternity photos twice actually, here's the first, and the second.

One of the perks, or is it a curse?, of being related to a photographer, you get your photos taken all the time. hehe. I just love this family to pieces!

BIG yawn.

Love the mouth!

Carli - Salem, OR Maternity Photographer

Just a quick blurb about the shoot:

This is my sister Carli, I blogged some photos a few months ago midway through but nothing beats to round full belly! She's just stunning, I even managed to grab some pics with her two overly energetic boys, and the sun was simply yummy!

peaches!

One of my favorite shots of all time now, love the joy in this one!

Belly : )

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Just had to say Fall is here, let the baking begin! These are my most favorite Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins....YUM!

Gabby Harryman - Salem, OR Senior Portraits

I posted some previews of Gabby a few weeks ago, a delightful girl. From the first email it was apparent this girl was in no lack of personality and spunk! She wanted photos that not only captured her cute fashion sense and curly blond hair, but her happy-go-lucky bubbly disposition.

Her and Michelle, her mom met us downtown in front of the Capitol after getting her hair and makeup done (it looked wonderful by the way) and we hit the town for 2 hours of walking, smiling, twirling, and lots of laughter. I fell in love all over again with taking portraits during this session, it really was a great experience and I just love how they turned out!

Enjoy!

Alaynna Sneak Peek - Salem, OR Senior Photographer
