Mommy & Me Session | Portland Family Photographer, Kari Rae Photography

Stephanie and James are the absolute sweetest and they are so in love! This time, I'm not talking about an engaged or married couple...but a mommy & her 4-year-old son.

Oh. My. Word.  

This was such a special session for me to be able to do, as Stephanie and I have been dreaming about it since last Fall. She knew she wanted some great, large photos of the 2 of them for her walls.

So, she saved her pennies for a couple seasons (custom photography is quite the luxury, but I think Stephanie would tell you it's worth the wait!) and we got to have our session a couple weeks ago!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed creating them... you can see the adoration in their eyes. Awww! I'm in love <3

Let Freedom Ring!

We are spending our Indepedence Day on the river, with a fishing pole in the water, the wind in our hair, and the setting sun as our view. This little man is decked out in red white and blue and can't wait for the firework show to begin! But for now, peace.

Ahhhhh....freedom tastes good, doesn't it?

A huge thank you to the men and women who have served this country, sacrificed their precious time with loved ones, and/or given their lives for us. You are so very appreciated!

I hope your 4th is a blessed one. Much love, my friends!

Hollywood Florida Seniors on the Boardwalk | Portland Senior Photographer, Destination Senior Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing these best friends for a senior session on the boardwalk in Hollywood, Florida. Throw in some vintage roller skates and a windy day, and you've got one happy photographer! Sami and Harley were so much fun and up for anything! Thanks, girls, for rockin' this session :) You make my job easy!
