My clients ask me for location suggestions all the time and sure I can tell you about all sorts of beautiful locations like any park in Portland but really true beauty and donwerdous places are found on the side of a road or a rustic alley way downtown in the Pearl district or even just a simple open field.  This mini session with my daughter and her BFF was exactly that, on the side of the road in a weeded field with a few little patches of yellow flower.  I pulled into a rugged “driveway” with my friend and her kidos and I had to laugh at the look on her face when she saw where I was going to photograph her babies!   you haveto put a little faith in your photographer and just sit back and let the true beauty of you shine through.  If you have seen your photographers work and you love it, then trusting them to do beautiful work for you is probably not to far fetch 🙂

Here are some of my faves from our super mini session playing a little with my fave parasols, oh lovely parasols, how do I love thee 🙂 <P>

deyla WOW!! these are just gorgeous! my fave is the one of mila with the parasol. she has the most amazing eyes!! such beautiful pics.

Beautiful children’s photography. You really captured the charm, energy and joy of these children. Nice work!

Oh wow! Beautiful! I love those umbrellas! Great work!

Absolutely beautiful, Deyla!! 🙂 Great post about locations, too! I absolutely LOVE shooting in Portland- Pearl District is one of my all-time favorite locations!! 🙂 You’re a rockstar, girl!!

These are all adorable, and I can totally relate about the randomness of locations. Happens to me all the time. Add a little recovery to the B&W to bring back some detail in the umbrella and you’ve got a winner!

Super sweet and I love the insight into choosing the location. Great job!

Girl, I am a sucker for your black and white head shots…smitten!
