First Birthday-Milestone Session/Newberg, Oregon Portrait Photographer

"You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You're mom-my's bright and shining star.
You're the spirit of Christmas, the star on the tree,
You're the Easter Bunny for mommy and me;
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl."

-Michael Buble "Daddy's little Girl"

Oh boy did I have loads of fun with this session! It was Miss J's first birthday and it was a sunny/overcast day in early September. Sunny/overcast day, you question? Yeah, you know, a not so uncommon day in the Pacific Northwest. There was rain and then it was super sunny and then came the gloom and then rain again.  

But yeah, this session was extra fun for a few reasons, One, it was her special day. Two, because mom and dad were super chill and fun and were up for adding in some extra fun. Three, it was fun watching dad dote on his daughter, making sure her headband was 'just right' before each shot and fixing her dress so it was perfect (see above image).  Four, capturing this little family's love for each other and five, dad is into photography also so he knew exactly how to help me out. It was awesome! 

We did the session on the family's gorgeous property and both grandma's were able to be there also. It was so sweet seeing her interact with her grandma's, she is so loved! 

Mom had the idea to bring out her balls from her ball pit. This was my favorite part. The three of them seemed to have fun playing together and were in the moment and I enjoyed capturing the moment. 

There is also a pond on the property, which I almost lost my shoe in. I had slipped into the pond and my shoe slipped off. Thankfully, I did not fully fall into the pond and my camera was completely safe. 

Thank you so much Kimberly, Jordan and Miss J for letting me be apart of this important time! 

Lil' Miss J, go forth, grow and rock on! 





Pieper Family Session/Hillsboro, Oregon Photographer

"I'm gonna soak up the sun
I got my 45 on
So I can rock on"

'Soak Up the Sun'- Sheryl Crow

The Pieper session! I have so much to say about this shoot. I was so thrilled when Sarah asked me to photograph her family. I had the privilege of photographing her second son's 1st birthday photos a year ago and I was looking forward to seeing them again.

Let me start by talking about what happened before the session. Sarah wanted to do the session at a creek and we had a few places in mind but she wanted to check them out first. I too wanted to check out one of the locations because I was not sure it would be a good creek for a session. So I took my boys out to the location and guess who I see there? Yep, Sarah and her kiddos. She too was checking out the spot to see if it would be a good session spot. I thought that was pretty funny. 

We decided that it would not be  a good fit and we decided on Rood Bridge Park.  On the  day of the session, oh my goodness was it hot! No, it was not just hot, it was humid. So very humid. Not great weather for a photo session. But they handled it so very well. We wanted to do photos by the water but it was just so darn humid. Did I mention that it was humid? Yeah, I am not used to humidity. Do you see in the above photo how wet he is? 

Ok, moving on.....We started at the bridge and as we were all set-up for the first shot, the ducks arrived. And with the ducks  came a multitude of children that wanted to see the momma duck and her ducklings.  So we waited. The ducks left and so did the kiddos. I set-up the shot again and guess what happens? The ducks wanted to cross the bridge again. So the kids came back. We waited. They ducks left. I set-up again. And guess what happened. I kid you not. The ducks wanted to cross again. The kids came back to see the ducks. We waited. And then the ducks crossed again. I literally said, "Are you kidding me ducks?!" BUT this time, the Piepers were behind the ducks and the other kids were out of the way (this time!) and the shot was perfectly lined up. And finally the ducks went back to the water and we were able to officially start the session.  

The Pieper family rocks, they were so patient but busy. Can you be patient and busy also. Hmmm, well, they were. And I love it!  We ran, we did bubbles, we played games and we all rocked it! 

Thank you So much Peiper family for choosing me again! I had a hot, sticky, fun time with you and I look forward to working with you again! 

Go forth, soak up the sun and rock on! 

The Redfield Family Session- Wilsonville, Oregon/Portland Area Photographer

"I feel it
It's coming

Rain
Feel it on my fingertips
Hear it on my window pane
Your love is coming down like
Rain"

'Rain"- Madonna

It's the end of August. Portland has had a dry Summer. However, on this particular Summer day, as I was on my way to the shoot with the Redfields, I drove through the dark grey rain clouds. I drove through the buckets of rain. Thinking to myself, "Really, really? Rain now?!" I continued to drive to the shoot anyway. I drove through the rain and came out into the sun. Phew. 

I get to the location and as we are discussing the shoot, the rain starts coming down on us. Then it really starts pouring. We ran to cover and we decided that we would wait a bit to see if the rain would pass. It did not look like it was going to. But it did and I am so glad that we decided to wait it out. 

The sun shinning and then being blocked by the clouds created a challenge for me that day but these three kiddos did not. They were so easy to work with. Full of light and personality.

God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life, my soul
You make my spirit whole
-Madonna, "Little Star"

I first met Arianne and Dustin in March when they hired me to do maternity photos, expecting their first baby, a son.  Each new life is significant and with each pregnancy the waiting and dreaming of what is to come is exciting, however, with the first baby the anticipation seems much greater. I enjoying seeing this eagerness with first time parents. I enjoy seeing the love between the first-time parents and the love they have for their gift who they have yet meet. It's quite amazing to me how someone we have not even met can take complete hold of our whole heart and hold it so intensely. And it was clear that this sweet baby boy already had a hold of Dustin and Arianne's heart. 

Fast forward 2 months and I had been itching to photograph a newborn and I had been waiting for baby boy to make his arrival.  He made his arrival early May and I had the pleasure of photographing him at 7 days young. With each newborn I get excited and nervous. SO nervous. This time when a baby is a newborn is so short, the time is fleeting. It is important to document this amazing time and I am so honored when I am the one chosen to capture this time. And I want it to be perfect, therefore I get nervous. So I prepare, prepare, prepare. 

Bringing it back to baby boy, I will call him Mr. O, well, he was yummy. Seven pound of yumminess. He slept at first but with the set-up change he decided it was time to be awake. But he was happy when he was awake so I was able to get a few awake shots. He is easy to console as all he needs is to be held. And I was happy to oblige (even-though he peed on me, I always seem to get peed on). 

Dustin, Arianne and Mr. O, go forth, grow, experience, laugh,  love and rock on. 

Until next time. -n.s.

Newberg, Oregon Photographer- Camp Tilikum Sunshine

Words cannot express the delight it brings me when I am chosen again to photograph a family/special time. Seriously, it makes my month.....my year. I had the pleasure of photographing the Gabler family last January and it was so great to see them again and to capture this fun family! I consider them apart of the Nanci Imagery family. 

The last time that I photographed this sweet family the youngest kiddo was a newborn and Miss C was 9 months old. Well, the day before our session, Miss C celebrated her 2nd birthday! I love seeing my families growing up. It is such a joy for me! 

We are a family like a giant tree branching out the sky
We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
We are a family like a giant tree
Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free
We need you, we are a family
-"Family" - From Dreamgirls

Until next time Gabler family!

Her favorite thing to do was to pick the flowers. She was so sweet. She picked a few for me too.

Now her big brother on the other hand did not love the camera but he did love blowing Dandelions "lion's tooth'.  And I just love how he has a stick. Kids plus sticks immediately brings in the fun!
