Extended Family {Riverside Park}

What a wonderful time this adorable family must have together!

On the day of their session, they were recovering from a camping trip

on the beach in Brookings (oh, how I love Brookings)!

They were all so smiley and happy and I had a great time working with them!!

Thank you Gunderson family! I hope you all had safe trips back home!!

Keep Smiling,

Gunderson Family {Ogle Park}

“I sustain myself with the love of family.”

- Maya Angelou

I'm about to get mushy.

The truth is, I adore families.

Families who love and care for one another

and treat their children like they are the most important things in the world ...

I adore families so much so that when I get to work with families

like this one, I walk away from the session a better, more joyful person

for being able to observe and capture the love this family has one for one another!

Keep Smiling,

Annie

Hampton Family {Riverside Park}

Since we have moved to Grants Pass, we have fallen in love with Riverside Park

and I was so excited when John & Alyssa said they wanted to do their session there!

The Caveman Bridge is such a beautiful work of art 

and a beautiful backdrop for any type of photos that a person wants taken!! :)

We met up at the park, and after much coercing, got some smiles from the kiddos!

This family is so adorable, and it was so evident just how much these boys are adored!!

 

Thanks John & Alyssa! I had SO much fun - although I did come home and have a nap :)

Keep Smiling,

Cade {Reinhart Volunteer Park}

My heart is so happy this week because I've had not one, but TWO sessions,

which are being dubbed my very first sessions in Grants Pass!!

*** *** *** *** ***

I met up with Cade and her mom and the beautiful Reinhart Volunteer Park in Grants Pass!

It was a pretty quiet day around the park, but the weather was absolutely PERFECT,

and I had SO much fun wandering the park with the two of them

and making pictures to capture Cade's beautiful personality!!

This next picture is one of my FAVORITES from the shoot!

Cade & Bryn have such a fun loving, playful relationship

and I just loved watching them interact with one another!!

Notice the BROWN belt in this next picture!

Cade is getting ready to go to a National Karate Championship!!

Thanks Cade & Bryn - I had SO much fun and I hope you love your pictures!!

Keep Smiling, 

Annie
