I’ll Grow When You Grow | Portland Family Photographer

My favorite part of this job is getting to meet and know new people.  This family was so much fun!  Dad, Jeff, contacted me to do some photos for Christmas presents as surprises for family members.  He figured his family would be expecting photos that were more traditional, indoor, and posed, which I AM NOT, and neither were they, so I knew I would like these guys right away.  ;)  This family also hadn’t had any family photos taken in several years, so it was definitely time to have some memories updated!

We headed downtown in the Pearl District, near Jeff’s work, where I met his wife Alisa, and kids Colin and Morgan.  The kids were playful and totally open to a few ideas I had.  We shot a few on the stairs of the US Custom House, where the TV show Grimm had actually just shot an episode a few weeks prior.  And a surprise find for me was the elephant in the park, which had appeared in a Pearl Jam poster from a concert I saw last summer.  Even after living here for almost 7 years, I’m still discovering all sorts of fun new things about Portland!

This was such a beautiful family on a sunny fall day.  They made my job easy.  Thanks again “B” family!

XOXO-
Coco

1 mom with a RAD life | portland headshot photographer

Selena is RAD.  Selena is RADiant.  Selena has a RADiant life, and she teaches other people how to have a RADiant life too on her own life coaching and holistic nutrition blog, RADiant Life Rocks.  She’s one BUSY girl though, because this is just ONE of her blogs.  Selena also is the brain behind 1MomsMission, a wife and mother of two adorable sons, AND is a personal trainer and fitness coach, teaching several classes a week at the gym.  In addition, she’s a triathlete that’s won several medals for her efforts and I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg of her daily activities!

When she asked me to do some updated headshots and fun photos for her blogs, I was so excited, because I knew she would be so fun to capture.  And I was right.  I felt like we were shooting an ad for a sports magazine the whole time!

 

Um…Does Selena make you want to hit the weights or what?  HOT MAMA!!

Thanks again Selena. I had so much fun on the photo shoot.  Enjoy the photos and best of luck with your blog launch!

XOXO-

Coco

Beautiful Bailey [east portland senior portrait photographer]

Bailey was another one of my senior models for 2012, and this girl KNOWS how to rock a camera!  (I literally could hardly choose which photos to show you on the blog.)  We had a blast doing these in multiple downtown Portland locations too.   Despite a wrong turn on my part, we made it to the sunflower patch just in time for the final photos as the sun set in the distance.

This girl has such an amazing heart, and she just returned from her first mission trip to Uganda.  I’m so excited to see what the future holds for Bailey.

xoxo,

Coco

megan take 2 – class of 2012 [sandy, or senior photographer]

Sweet Megan!  Getting to know Megan this year as one of my senior models proved to be such a delight.  As I gushed from her spring mini-session, she truly is a gal that impressed me from the first time I met her, and was so wonderful to work with.  She suggested the Vista House as a starting point for this session, and I had a couple of other locations that proved to be the perfect fit for this classy gal.

Thanks again Megan, for being so much fun, and congrats on your acceptance to Montana State!  I know you’re going to have such a great future ahead of you!

abe & linda [huntsville, ontario family photographer]

Ah, young love!

I SO loved getting to do this session!  Abe and Linda have been married for 43 years and as you can see from these photos still have a spark that many people should envy.  The beautiful Muskoka sunshine made a beautiful backdrop during one of the last Canadian sunsets of the summer.  Their playful ways were easy to capture and made for a really fun afternoon.

During one of the last shots, Linda did something I don’t allow very often and stole my camera for a quick shot of me, with my love…since we were so inspired by the beautiful scenery and yummy light.  I think she has quite the eye for photography – what do you think?
