Georgia Newborn Shoot / Salem OR Newborn Photographer

Cuteness abounds once again as we are graced by another adorable newborn, Georgia. Daughter to a dear friend of mine Lily, Georgia was born January 30th, 2010 at 7:08 AM weighing 6 lbs 8 oz, 18 1/2 inches long, with plenty of dark brown hair. I just love a newborn with hair!

She put up quite the fight as soon as she caught on we were taking her pictures but we managed to convince her to go along in the end. Isn't she just precious?

Expressive Sofia / Salem OR Baby Photographer

I am still laughing out loud as I post this entry. My little niece Sofia is as cute as they come. I posted her newborn portraits here a few months ago, adorable! She's a Sturm girl alright, 4 months old and full of spunk and plenty to say! I just had to put these hilarious expressions together to show just how funny she is! The upper right just kills me...!!!

Can't wait until her and cousin Sailor are old enough to play dolls, wear pony tails and take shopping!

Bair Family Previews / Giving Is Awesome / Salem OR Family Photographer

Just a quick preview of the Bair's Family shoot. This is the AMAZING family you selected for the Giving Is Awesome give-away. I can't wait to share their story of strength, hope, and God! It's one that is sure to inspire.

Ben Ishii / Senior / Salem OR Photographer

Ben and I share quite a few things in common, believe it or not. We live on the same street, both our parents go to Foothills church in Stayton, and both of us swim (in my case swam) in high school. We could almost be twins...almost ;).

He had the great idea of contacting local Willamette University to shoot at their pool so we started it off there and meandered around the campus the rest of the shoot. I love all this location has to offer, and I felt it really complimented Ben's personality! He is such a sweetheart, and he sports his letterman's jacket with style!

Alaynna - Salem, OR Senior Photographer

Alaynna is one of those people that photographs beautifully. As soon as I started taking her pictures I knew she could rock the camera. I love it when that happens! Not only was she photogenic, but her and her mom were loads of fun to spend the afternoon with, making my job less of a job and more like a hobby!

We found some great spots around Vitae Springs Vineyard, and in someone's yard (hehe).
Take a look for yourself.

More to come soon, but I couldn't resist showing a few shots from Mr. and Mrs. Lange's Oregon reception!

Lucas Tibbs - Salem, OR Newborn Photographer

You may remember Matt & Beth, I took maternity pictures of them not long ago. They have to be one of the sweetest couples I've met, they sincerely love and care for one another and in moments of meeting them they felt like dear friends.

Lucas was born July 16 at 3:55 AM, ten days AFTER the due date. Yikes! Way to push through mom! he was 9.2 lbs and 21 inches long.

When I met him he was...12..? Yes, about 12 days old and as awake and lively as ever. As you can see, he didn't sleep much, he was rather attentive and interested in the camera. Bonus!

I just can't get over how cute he is, I'm sure you'll agree. I don't usually throw this word around but he truly is precious! And already has quite a bit of character shining through as you'll see in his quirky little expressions!

Alright, without further ado, Lucas!
