Portland Engagement | Crystal + Jon | Portland Wedding Photographer

Last weekend a couple of my clients came down from Seattle to have their family photos taken.  Only, they had a little surprise up their sleeves!  My client's sister's boyfriend (still following?) wanted to propose while they had her whole family there in front of the camera! Um, yes please!!  I had butterflies while getting the big group shots, knowing that the almost engaged couple would be up next; I didn't want to give anything away!

Well, the rest, as they say is history and we ended up with some great shots.  Smiles, tears, laughter, give me ALL the emotion please!

Congrats to Jon + Crystal - I'm so happy to have been a part of the excitement!

My Little Baker Boy

A little context: Lately, my 3.5 year old boy has been asking (interrogating) me a lot about my job.  What exactly am I doing when he gets dropped off at Nana's, or has a babysitter; WHO exactly am I taking photos of, and could he please help me work in the evening on the computer??

I think it's pretty fun to chat with him about it and I'm (not so secretly) a little pleased that it's not ALL about Dad's cool car job anymore.  Mom works too!

So this evening, sometime between playing "Baker the Knight" and "Let's wait on the doorstep for Dad to come home because mommy is TIRED," my little Baker man asked me for a photoshoot.  I offered to take a photo of him on my phone but that was unacceptable - I must use my big camera with my big lens.

You don't have to ask me twice kid.
