hubba hubbs {portland family photographer}

Once again, I am trying to catch up on a few photo shoots that I never (gasp!) got around to blogging. Dang that beautiful Oregon weather and the call of the beach (and dirty diapers) that kept getting in the way. Meet Allicia, her husband who bravely serves our country in the Navy, and her two little chillins, who are very experienced photography subjects. My favorite part of this shoot? Watching a daughter that loves her daddy more than anything else within a 500 mile radius.

{mini session loveliness}

To celebrate the beginning of fall and the countdown to Christmas,

I am offering a quick photo session that is on the cheap.

To help all of you get those Christmas cards ready....ahead of time....I thought I would offer a little special of sorts. I guess we can call it a mini session, but most people do a 15 minute mini session. The thought of a 15 minute session makes me cringe, thinking of many horrible Kiddie Kandid nightmares that we endured. I think the words "Family session" and "quick" don't always go together since children are, naturally, quite unpredictable. And that brings me to the mini session, a la Smiling Eyes.


{Mini Session}
30- 60 minutes of my time, capturing your family. This will not include all of the individual and smaller group shots that my family sessions normally include. It will be group family, group family and....more group family shots, since that is what you normally need for those beloved Christmas cards.


{pricing}
A reasonable and lovely $100, even


{what you walk away with}
a cd with your high res. images, ready to be mass produced for all of your Christmas dreams. May I suggest framing one nice and big for a go to present for the grandparents?


{options}
$20: a simple design for your Christmas card that is 30x's cooler than any Costco card you have laid eyes on.


{fine print}
Mini Sessions will only be available through November 28th, as you don't want to be procrastinating your beloved Christmas cards until then anyhow.


{an extra super duper special}
If you can get 3 or more friends together to do your sessions back to back, I will knock off $15 for each of you, saving you at least $45, allowing plenty of cash to cover the bribery you offer the kids for behaving. Now friends who click together stick together!

slightly overdue {portland family photographer}

Yeah. So these are *only* from a month ago. These pictures were done for some friends that we like to refer to as our surrogate grandparents. Before we moved, these were the people that we sat with during church. You know, the people that Hannah climbed all over for a good hour and half each Sunday. The people that always had spare tic tacs for each of the girls, as they recently reminded me, and who came to stay with the girls in the middle of the night while I had Lilly in the hospital. Yeah. They are pretty cool. Turns out, they have real kids and grandkids, too. Go figure! ;) When getting the whole crew together for a 40th anniversary, I was called in to catch everyone in their loveliness. I must say, it is fun seeing growing up siblings, hanging out with their playful banter. It reminds me of my own sisters and brother. Good times with good people.

in honor of back to school (or in our house: non back to school day) {portland child photographer}

This is what school pictures are like at the Kang house. Actually, this is from a promised photo shoot that we did to make Hannah feel a little more excited about her hair cut. (she was slightly bothered that her hair was short enough to require clippers in the back) We picked up a new outfit, during which my daughter was quoted saying, "We can buy a lot of outfits and I will change in the car in between them!" (can you imagine her at sixteen?)
