Baby Lola

Portraits

Let me explain the story of how we got the opportunity to meet Baby Lola. It is a story that makes my job absolutely rewarding and fulfilling. Back in 2008, we photographed the wedding of Kylene & Jacob – a couple who found us through Style Me Pretty. Then, a handful of months ago, Kylene & Jacob contacted us to document their newborn son Sawyer. Well, they shared the photos with some of their friends. Toya & Chris really liked the photos and wanted to have some pictures of their newborn daughter Lola. So, they contacted us for a session. When we met at the Portland Rose Garden, I knew right away that Chris looked very familiar to me, but I couldn’t quite figure out why…then realized it was because he was a groomsman in Kylene & Jacob’s wedding! These connections and long lasting relationships with clients is something that I will always treasure. We will be documenting Lola’s 12 month session as well, and I can’t wait to see her all grown up!
