Sweet Summer {Digital} Special || Bend, Oregon Photographer

Summer is here and it's time to capture those amazing summer moments! Take advantage of this great summer special!

What's the deal?

You get one Lifestyle session, lasting approximately one hour, in or around Bend, with a custom CD and case loaded up with the best images from your session, in high-resolution JPGs. They will look fantastic in YOUR digital albums, or allow me to put one together for you & your loved ones (books or album options are additional).

For a limited time, only $499

(that's a $200 savings!)

Upgrade to a portrait session for only $200 more.

What's the difference?

Lifestyle sessions are sweet, simple sessions... based on activities or locations meaningful to your family. Basically, together we'll pick a place and time, and I'll show up to capture you and your family just being YOU! I help guide your family in it's activities, but generally leave the moments to develop on their own. It's a really fun and relaxed way to capture your family or children at their best - doing what they love. Lifestyle sessions are fully edited, but minimally retouched. 

Portrait sessions are a bit more involved... a bit more polished. We discuss time, place and a final look for your images. I'll evaluate whether or not to bring in an assistant, and whether or not to use supplemental lighting. Portrait sessions are fully edited, and retouched when necessary. 

 Lifestyle session ideas: Evening picnic. Playtime at the park. Sunday pancakes. A visit to the High Desert Museum. Hiking along the river. Golf with daddy. Bubbles in the front yard. Fishing along the river. 

It's summer in Bend, folks! The possibilities are endless!

I have limited digital sessions available this summer - so call today to check availability. 

Here's an example of a recent Lifestyle session, just hanging out by the river, 

down at Farewell Bend park:

Mr. Waylon Cash || Bend Oregon Photographer

This little rock star came to entertain me at the studio not too long ago - and I'm so tickled to share these images from his 6-month photography session.

Joyful babe || Bend, Oregon Photographer

This little guy turned 6 months old today (the same day MY baby hit the double digits!).

He is SUCH a happy little one, and this photo really captured that. He worked really hard today - and I'm sure napped a very long time for mama after... 

Many more to come - but I had to share this one first!

The Adorable Miss M - the entire shoot || Bend, Oregon Photographer

I finally managed to dig into the entire photography session with 6-month old Miss M, and here, at last, are my personal favorites... Well, in addition, of course, to the ones I've posted previously (here and here!)

I loved this session for so many reasons... but most of all because it took place this family's home - where she was surrounded by familiar settings and the images will all reflect a sense of home, rather than somewhere unfamiliar. Twenty years from now she'll look back and they'll just FEEL like home.

So, here they are - comments are included in the captions...

Help! I'm trapped in an adorable teddy bear sweater!

See, adorable!

Jeggings & Pugs. Perfection!

The sign says it all.

With all of the adorableness that came of my time with Miss M. I do believe this is my favorite shot. {love}

I'm 6-months old. I love pears.

... a LOT!

Mom and Dad love me. Bunches.

Only at 6-months can thunder-thighs be cute and adorable!

Super sweet - She's posed in front of a VERY special piece of artwork.

Bend, Oregon Photographer || The Adorable Miss M... She's Back!

Happy Friday!

I'm bummed I didn't get to all of Miss M's 6 month shoot, but I did want to at least share these images to celebrate a Friday well-earned! They sure put a smile on my face!

This little princess was a trooper for over an hour of costume changes and smiles and giggles... and that, my friends, is a lot of work for a little being only 6 months in the world. I'm fairly certain mom and dad had a nice long break after this shoot as she napped it off!

I loved these images in this warm sepia tones... such a nice feel for a smiling little princess! I just may have to play around with these tones some more!

I'm leaving you with a parting shot, however, of 2 of our last frames together at the end of our session.
I'll let her tell you how she was feeling...
